Alphanumeric Stock locations (STL)
RamBase sorts all ) Stock locations (STL) alphanumerically. This sorting is used in all applications where Stock locations (STL) are displayed, and/or used in various processes.
Picking
An example is in the picking process where the Confirm pick by handheld device (SCANPICK) application can be used to pick goods. The application will suggest a pick route through the warehouse based on the alphanumeric sorting. The alphanumeric route suggestion will also be given when using the Count (COUNT) application to take stock.
Stock taking
The alphanumeric sorting is also the basis when creating a Stock taking (STT) by selecting Stock locations (STL) to be counted, with the Stock taking create (STTC) application. A count will be generated based on the physical goods in the Stock location (STL) from the FromStockLoc to the ToStockLoc, in alphanumeric order.
Alphanumeric sorting example
If Stock locations (STL) are named from "A1" to "A20", the alphanumeric order vil be:
A1
A10
A11
A12
A13
A14
A15
A16
A17
A18
A19
A2
A20
A3
A4
A5
A6
A7
A8
A9
Alphanumeric sorting summary
RamBase sorts all Stock locations (STL) alphanumerically.
In practical terms, creating a Stock taking create (STTC) from "A1" to "A20", will not generate a stock taking of "A3", "A4", "A5", "A6", "A7", "A8" or "A9".
Therefore it will be beneficial naming Stock locations (STL) with a numerical "0", in example "A02", instead of "A2".
