ValidateLocation

F4100 Validate Location / Lot

Minor Business Rule

Object Name: N4600220

Parent DLL: CWARE

Location: Client/Server

Language: NER

Functional Description

Purpose

This function determines if a location is eligible for reservations, putaway, picking or replenishment.  It reads the Location Master (F4100) and edits the
information against the movement instruction.  An error code is returned if the location is not valid.

If the latitude, longitude and height are loaded into the data structure for the base location, the proximity from the base location is calculated and
returned.

Setup Notes and Prerequisites

If the request is for putaway, this function calls Calculate and Edit Putaway Quantity (N4600230).  In this case, the F4602RecordPtr and location unit of
measures are required.  The item profile information is optional, however if it is not loaded to the data structure N4600230 will retrieve it.

Special Logic

This function returns the following location information:

PZON - Location Zone
WSQP -Location Sequence
STGP-Putaway Staging Location
STGK-Picking Staging Location
STGR-Replenishment Staging Location
MN29D9-Proximity from Base Location
QTY- Putaway Quantity in Primary

A code that identifies the method of putaway, picking, or replenishment the system uses for this instruction. Valid codes are: F Use only fixed locations. This code is valid for putaway, picking and replenishment. R Use only random locations. You assign characteristics to random rules and to locations. The system compares rules to locations and builds a table of locations based on the number of matching characteristics. During random processing, the system chooses locations from the random location table. This code is valid for putaway, picking and replenishment. E Use only empty locations. This code is valid for putaway only. X Use only existing locations that already have the same item stored there. This code is valid for putaway only.

mnLocationSequence	WSQP	MATH_NUMERIC	NONE	NONE
A number that you assign to a location to determine its place in the putaway sequence. Putaway is the movement of inventory to storage after receipt. A sequence of locations describes the path that warehouse employees follow through the warehouse during movement tasks. You can specify in the Movement Instructions (P46095) whether the system uses the putaway sequence as a tiebreaker when there is more than one location selected for putaway. For example, you can establish sequencing for the most efficient putaway routing.

szItemDimensionGroup	PRP6	char	NONE	NONE
A code (system 41/type 01) that identifies a group of items that share the same dimensions. An item dimension group defines the dimensions for all items that belong to the group. After you set up an item dimension group, you can assign items to the group through Classification Codes (41011).
szStagingLocationPutaway	STGP	char	NONE	NONE
A code that specifies a warehouse location where you hold items temporarily (either physically or logically) before moving them somewhere else. You use the putaway staging location when the system suggests movement from one location to another while using two-phase confirmation. In two-phase confirmation, you confirm the movement from the first location to the staging location, and then confirm the movement from the staging location to the final location.
szStagingLocationPicking	STGK	char	NONE	NONE
A code that specifies a warehouse location where you hold items temporarily (either physically or logically) before moving them somewhere else. You use the picking staging location when the system suggests movement from one location to another while using two-phase confirmation. In two-phase confirmation, you confirm the movement from the first location to the staging location, and then confirm the movement from the staging location to the final location.
szStagingLocationRepl	STGR	char	NONE	NONE
A code that specifies a warehouse location where you hold items temporarily (either physically or logically) before moving them somewhere else. You use the replenishment staging location when the system suggests movement from one location to another while using two-phase confirmation. In two-phase confirmation, you confirm the movement from the first location to the staging location, and then confirm the movement from the staging location to the final location.
cTieBreakerRule	MLS1	char	OPT	NONE
A number that identifies the tiebreaker you want to use for this putaway rule when multiple locations satisfy the criteria. The system uses the tiebreaker to rank the tied locations. Tiebreakers are (hard coded) as follows: 1 Sequence locations by the putaway sequence number. If you do not assign sequence numbers, and you use this tiebreaker, the system chooses between equal locations based on their alphanumeric sequence. You define sequences using Location Profile (P46020). 2 Sequence locations by greatest available space. The system uses locations that can hold the greatest quantity of the item in the specified unit of measure and container first. 3 Sequence locations by least available space. The system uses locations that can hold the least quantity of the item in the specified unit of measure and container first. 4 Sequence locations by least available space, but minimize the number of locations used. This code is the same as tiebreaker 3, except the system tries to use the least number of locations. 5 Sequence locations by proximity from the sending location (usually the receiving dock), using the closest locations first. 6 Sequence locations by proximity to the base putaway location, using the closest locations first. 7 Sequence locations by proximity to the base picking location, using the closest locations first.
