Warehouse Area (Beas)

Inventory > Warehouse Management > Warehouse master data  > Warehouse Area (Beas)

Only for Beas managed warehouses:

A rack, a single storage position, or a high-level rack can form a storage area. A storage area can have up to 3 dimensions (e.g. level, row, shelf) and consist of any number of bin locations. Any number of storage areas can be created per store.

PATH: Inventory > Warehouse Management > Master Data > double-click/Open a bin warehouse > "Warehouse areas" tab.

Window bin_whsarea_browse.psr

For visualization, you can specify the coordinates and color for each storage area. There are two views:

1. Warehouse View: Displays the entire store, together with the storage areas in the corresponding color at the corresponding coordinates – viewed from above (i.e., length x width) See image below.

2. Area view: Displays a storage area from the front, i.e. length x height. For more information see Inventory location.

PATH: Inventory > Warehouse Management > Master Data > select a bin warehouse > "Warehouse areas" tab > double-click an area.

Window bin_whsarea_edit.psr
