[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".
