Hi, 

Can you explain to me what the following parameter is for , please

“Minimum number of capable bins for a large”

 

Hi Franck,

According to available help information, this is a parameter intended for large warehouse, associated with Putaway functionality.

 

When minimum number of capable bins for storage zone exceeds the defined value, the putaway functionality triggers an implementation which is optimized for a large number of bins in a storage zone.


Hi Franck,

 

The above parameter is useful when defining putaway zones for an inventory part. As per the help document,

When defining a putaway zone in the Inventory Part, note that putaway zones can be defined in a more flexible way by using, for example, % and ; to define a zone that contains, for example, a number of bays.

This can be convenient when there is a need to use the maximum number of bins for a part over a greater area than, for example, just one bay. The setup of putaway zones is shown and defined in two different tabs:

  • In the Operative Values tab, you can view information about putaway zones that will be used for this part. This is a summarized view of putaway zones defined on a group level as well as for the specific inventory part.
  • In the Inventory Part Values tab, you can enter putaway zones that are specific for the current inventory part. These zones together with zones from the putaway zone part groups will be shown in the Operative Values tab to give the full picture.

Therefore here you can define the number of minimum bins for a particular storage zone.
