Location

The unique ID for the location

Location Type

• Storage: A storage location is a location used for storage.
• Kit WIP: A Kit WIP (Work in Progress) location is used for assembly or manufacturing. (Each kit document must specify a Kit WIP location. When you start building the kit, the component items are transferred to the Kit WIP location.)
• Forward: A forward location is a location you pick from.
• Door: A door location is a location positioned near a door.
• Staging: A staging location is a location where you organize goods/boxes for putaway or shipment.
• WIP: A WIP (Work In Progress) location is a location where you work with goods, such as when they are being received into or shipped out of the warehouse, or as they are being transported through the warehouse. For example, you might receive goods into a WIP location to perform sorting or quality inspection before putting the goods away in a bulk storage location. Typically you use WIP locations during a Pick to Staging Wave (for example, a forward or staging location) or a Pick/Pack Wave (for example, a dock or packing station). You also use WIP locations for inventory that is in transit (in the process of being picked) during a Pick to Staging Wave or a Pick/Pack Wave.

Weight to 100 lb and Pallets to 4, then 5 pallets that weigh 80 lb will not fit. 2 pallets that weight 120 lb will also not fit. The goods in the location must fit within all the entered capacity constraints.
