Supply Chain › Reachable by link

Item · Warehouse

Dimensions, packing, putaway and picking — what the physical handling of the thing needs to know, as distinct from what planning needs.

Where to find it

Module: Supply Chain
Group: More
Section: Reachable by link
Screen: Item · Warehouse

Address in the console: /scm/item-wms

List · 11 columns · 28 fields on its form · 1 of them required

The form

What is asked for when a record is created here. Required fields are marked; a choice drawn from a configuration list is one an administrator can extend without a release.

Field	Type	Choices	Notes
Item required	Choice	Looked up from existing records
Applies in	Choice	Looked up from existing records	Leave empty and it applies company-wide. Choose a business unit and it overrides the company-wide row there — which is how one item behaves differently in two plants.
Warehouse (leave empty for all)	Choice	Looked up from existing records
Length (mm)	Number
Width (mm)	Number
Height (mm)	Number
Gross weight (kg)	Number
Net weight (kg)	Number
Units per case	Number
Cases per layer	Number
Layers per pallet	Number
Units per pallet	Number
Stackable	Yes or no
Putaway rule	Choice	default, fixed, nearest, consolidate, by_velocity, by_zone, manual
Pick rule	Choice	fifo, lifo, fefo, nearest, by_lot, by_serial, manual
Velocity	Choice	fast, medium, slow, dead
Storage zone	Text
Temperature controlled	Yes or no
Minimum °C	Number
Maximum °C	Number
Fragile	Yes or no
High value — secure storage	Yes or no

GTIN	Text
Handling notes	Long text
In force from	Date		The date this version of the row takes effect. Leave it as today unless you are dating a change ahead.
Until	Date		Leave empty for open-ended. Setting it ends this version rather than deleting it.

The rules that apply here

Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:

Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
