At the dock level the following settings can be made:
Active
Set whether or not the dock is active.
Loading & unloading
Whether the dock can be used for loading, unloading or both.
Pick location
Set whether a dock can also be a pick location (e.g. whether or not newly received goods that are still on the receiving dock can already be considered for picking)
Block stock from being used for the picking process
If this setting is enabled, the stock on this location cannot be used to put on a proposal. Also when a pick list gets the allocation on location level, these locations are not taken in account.
The locations with this flag to true are added to the view PMX_DISALLOWED_LOCATIONS_FOR_PICKING
Sequence
The order in which the products at this location will be used to compose a picking order. The pick locations with the lowest sequence number will be used first to complete the pick order.
This option is visible only if the checkbox of Pick location is checked in.
Allow location to be counted during cycle count
Is the location allowed to be counted?
Allow location to be counted during other operations
Is the location allowed to be counted during other operations? This means that when this location is used on certain flows, the system will check if a count is needed. If so, the system will ask the user to perform a count.
Locations needs to be counted now
When this option is enabled, the location will be counted, regardless of the other settings (Number of days, number of operations, …)
Count after X days
When a location has not been counted for the number of days defined here, the location needs to be counted. If the number is 0, this setting is not taken in account, and the setting on company level is taken.
Count after X operations
If the number of operations since the last count exceeds the defined number of operations, the location needs to be counted. If the number is 0, this setting is not taken in account and the setting on company level is taken.
Locked by (read-only field)
This field shows the key of the user that is locking the location, because he needs to count the location or is currently in process to count the location.
When a location is locked, it cannot be used in other processes.
The location is released by clicking the ‘unlock’ button.
Stock on locked locations is not taken in account to create pick list (proposals).
