[en] Alphanumeric Stock locations (STL)
[en] 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.
[en] Picking
[en] 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.
[en] Stock taking
[en] 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.
[en] Alphanumeric sorting example
[en] If Stock locations (STL) are named from "A1" to "A20", the alphanumeric order vil be:
[en] A1
[en] A10
[en] A11
[en] A12
[en] A13
[en] A14
[en] A15
[en] A16
[en] A17
[en] A18
[en] A19
[en] A2
[en] A20
[en] A3
[en] A4
[en] A5
[en] A6
[en] A7
[en] A8
[en] A9
[en] Alphanumeric sorting summary
[en] RamBase sorts all Stock locations (STL) alphanumerically.
[en] 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".
[en] Therefore it will be beneficial naming Stock locations (STL) with a numerical "0", in example "A02", instead of "A2".
