The entries in this panel are used in the Item file to indicate the warehouse in which the item will be stored. Statistics can also be produced for the Work with warehouses table. Selection according to warehouse can be made for listings such as the Item file. When entering the numerous types of orders, whether sales or purchase related, the warehouse code must also be indicated.

The number 999 has been reserved for the summation of all the other warehouses, and cannot be used as a warehouse code. If you enter warehouse code 999 in the Warehouse balance enquiry program, you will receive a stock balance of all the warehouses existing in your company.

You must also establish information for the warehouse that is to be the main warehouse. The main warehouse code is then to be entered in the DIS control file. The main warehouse is used during the Internal replenishment routine as the delivering warehouse.

Function keys

6	Customer Deposit Stock (CDS) warehouse (logical)
9	Physical warehouse

Physical warehouse

This field is only displayed if the STKOWNER (Stock Ownership) functionality is activated in the Function control file and is applicable for both the Stock ownership functionality as well as the Contract Managed Inventory functionality (if the DC1 Contract Managed Inventory (CMI) application is activated). If the code for a logical warehouse was entered in the Whs characteristic field, enter the ID of the physical warehouse to which the logical warehouse is connected.

Cost centre

This field is only displayed if the STKOWNER (Stock Ownership) functionality is activated in the Function control file, and when cost centre account part (in DC1 Financial) is activated. It is applicable for both the Stock ownership functionality as well as the Contract Managed Inventory functionality (if the DC1 Contract Managed Inventory (CMI) application is activated).

For the Stock ownership functionality: if a warehouse of type 1 (normal) or 2 (Trade) was defined in the Whs characteristic field, enter the cost centre for the internal ownership of goods and internal cost accounting when goods are sold and invoiced from a cost centre different from the stock holding cost centre.

For the CMI functionality, enter the cost centre to be used for sales for the following types of inventory contracts, which also require a warehouse of type 1 (normal) or 2 (Trade):

• Customer Buffer Stock (CBS)
• Wholesaler Buffer Stock (WBS)
• Deferred indent Stock (DIS)

Stock take/owner

This field is only displayed if the STKOWNER (Stock Ownership) functionality is activated in the Function control file and is applicable for both the Stock ownership functionality as well as the Contract Managed Inventory functionality (if the DC1 Contract Managed Inventory (CMI) application is activated) for a physical warehouse.

When you have several internal and/or external owners of the items in your standard stock and you perform a stock take for the physical warehouse, and there is a difference between the counted quantity in your physical warehouse compared to what the system states, you need to decide how the difference (gain or loss) is apportioned among the owners (i.e. who should take the loss or gain the extra item that is counted). This setting on the physical warehouse denotes how the difference should be apportioned.

• If you set this flag to NO, the system will automatically calculate the difference and disperse the gain or loss to the owner (the logical warehouse) that (in the books) has the highest percentage of total stock in the physical warehouse.
• If you set the flag to YES, you can decide for yourself how much of the gain or loss each owner will take. You will be able to drill down on the logical warehouses in the Work with stock take routine and enter the actual counted quantity per owner. Note: It is strongly recommended that the flag is set to YES when you have external goods in your physical warehouse. This is due to the fact that if you have the same item, that is internally owned, in the physical warehouse you would most likely not want any external owner to take the loss in the event that the counted quantity is less than what the files indicate.

Party identification

This is an optional entry, and is only valid for the DI function. Enter the party identification for this warehouse. (Within EANCOM it is referred to as the EAN location code). This number is used to identify the location of this warehouse when sending and receiving messages via DI.

Work with warehouses, Container handling (DMR02117)

Related topics

This panel is only displayed if the CONTAINR (Container handling) function is activated in the Function control file. On this panel you can enter container parameters for the warehouse.

Warehouse

Displays the selected warehouse.

Default values

Container type

Optional entry. Enter the container type for the delivery box container. When the system searches for/selects the type of container to be used, it will do so in the following order:

1. Container type from the Work with container types file. If it is not sufficient in size and volume for container assignment, then
2. Container type from the warehouse (this file). If not defined on the warehouse, or one is defined but it is not sufficient in size and volume for container assignment, then
3. Default container type from the Container control file (which is a mandatory entry), even if that container is not permitted for the item.

Maximum no of lines

Optional entry. Enter the maximum number of sales order lines allowed for one delivery box container.

Consolidation seq

Optional entry. The setting in this field is used as a default setting (i.e. for item/warehouse combinations that do not have an item consolidation sequence code assigned in the Work with items file for the item/warehouse). This information is used to sort the items picked by consolidation sequence. Once the items have been sorted, the container assignment function checks if there is still room in the last container for a specific consolidation sequence. If so, the container assignment function will assign the next picked item to the last container that has a different consolidation sequence. If you enter a value in this field, the items that are to be put into a container can be added to the first or last containers.

Clean cont active

Optional entry. Set to YES if you want the clean container routine to run after the container assignment. This optimization will get containers which only contain items of the same consolidation sequence. This cleaning process will only be performed if a separation of the assigned items will not lead to a higher number of containers. This process checks all the containers assigned to the pick list and reassigns items with a deviating consolidation group to an available container with items of the same consolidation group. This process will never add an additional container but will only reassign items which had previously been assigned to a “mixed container” (i.e. one which contains items of more than one consolidation sequence) to produce as many clean containers as possible.

Simulation option

This field is only applicable if you utilize the outbound shipment functionality and is an optional entry. Set this field to the applicable panel value code to denote if, and how, container simulation should be performed for outbound shipments:

Valid panel value codes are:

Code	Description
A	Automatic
M	Manual
N	None

Container simulation is performed when the order line is created and assigned to the shipment. If this flag is set to Automatic the system will immediately simulate how many containers the sales order line (with a status that is < 30) will require for the shipment when the sales order lines are created and attached to the outbound shipment. If this flag is set to Manual, the simulation functionality must be manually triggered via the Container simulation option on the outbound shipment.

The number of simulated containers is displayed on the outbound shipment regardless if you choose the Manual or Automatic simulation option.

Routine Id
