At the level of a weighing room, the following settings can be defined:

Active
Set whether the weighing room is active or not.

Input location
The location where the ingredients that needed to be weighed are picked. During the weighing process, stock will be moved to the weighing room from the input location.

Output location
The location where the weighed goods will be moved.

A typical setup is when the input location of the weighing room is the pick to location or the input location of the linked production line and the output location of the weighing room is the input location of the linked production line.

Weigh strategy
The weigh strategy defines whether the stock to weigh can be selected based on the weigh order or the item code during the Weigh flow. For more information click here.

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).
