Hello all,

I cannot see any simple solution too this issue or if it is even possible. 

The situation is this. If we look at the images, we can see three rows and four tiers between the blue beams. This equals to twelve bins. 

The problem here is that some pallets are wider than one bin and needs two bins. Borrowing  the bin from the next row and tier. This I don’t believe is possible for IFS.

An idea we had was, can it be possible if you make one row between the blue beams, instead of three? 

Any idea is much appreciated or if you know for a fact that it is not possible. I will try to answer follow up questions should you have any.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

I think one way of handling it would be to define the bin (W*D*L) dimensions along with pallet capacity in order to validate while putaway the goods.

For example, Part A comes with a larger pallet would only fit in to a larger bin (combined rows) while putaway the receipts.
