Bins - Naming Convention for Shortest Distance Picking

Description

To enable ICXE to provide a shortest distance picking list the BIN NAMES must be entered ALPHABETICALLY - the LOWER the Bin Letter / Number the closer the Bin is to the Packing/Despatch Area. e.g. A1 - nearest; Z9 furthest;

Detail Steps

Sales Orders are generated by Location so it is RECOMMENDED that groups of closely positioned (smaller storerooms or mini-warehouses) be CLASSIFIED under a SINGLE LOCATION for picking across physical locations.

The location name convention could be - StreetName, or suburb or Region.

To identify a Storeroom or mini-warehouse within the LOCATION prefix the Bin Name with a unique SUB-LOCATION identifier.

For example - Mel1-North, Mel2-South … in this example Mel1 will be the first Pick area from location MELBOURNE.

Continuing the example - the first Bin to be picked if stock is available would be Mel1-North-R1B1 (Row1 Bin1…)
