To create a new warehouse/store location, enter a numeric code to identify this location in the system.  You can enter a maximum of four numeric characters.  Or, enter the code of the existing location you want to view or edit.

STORIS comes delivered with Warehouse Location 88 as your initial default location.   

When creating a new warehouse or store location, this field defaults. You can click the Arrow button to select Warehouse or Store to indicate the type of location being created. For existing locations, the field displays the type but is unavailable for change.

For users changing the selling price of a product sold at this store, enter the maximum percentage of the selling price you want to allow users to vary from the selling price established in the Advanced Product Settings.  If the modified price varies (up or down) from the selling price by a percentage greater than the percentage you enter here, the system may generate an alert record, depending on the setting at the Price Exceeds Variance Alert field below.  This is not a required field.

The variance percent you enter here overrides the variance percent set on the Pricing and Commissions tab in the Point of Sale Control Settings.  Thus, if you enter "0" here, the system applies a zero variance percent.  To bypass this setting and use the setting in the Point of Sale Control Settings, leave this field blank.

Specify the type of alert you want the system to issue when a user modifies the price of a sales order line item so that the new price exceeds the allowable price variance specified at the Price Variance % field above.  

• Use Point of Sale Control Settings - Uses the equivalent fields in the Point of Sale Control Settings to determine how the price variance sales order exceptions should be handled. If a Price Variance % is not entered for the location, you must select this option and also leave the Reason Required check box blank. If you enter a Price Variance %, you cannot use this option.  

• Do Not Alert - The system does not check data entered against any other files and does not create an exception.

• List on Exception Report - The system creates an exception, which is listed on exception reports.

• Warning Message - The system issues a warning message and creates an exception.

• Security Override Required - The system requires a security password to override the warning message. The system creates an exception and notes the user who authorized the override.

If you check the box at this field, a prompt for reason code appears whenever a selling price entered on a sales order with a selling store for the specified location, exceeds the variance percent defined here. This occurs regardless of the user's sales security setting "Override POS exception rules" and the Variance Exceeded Alert level selected on this screen. Reason codes entered for each price variance exception appear on the Variance from Retail report, which runs as part of the Generate Daily Reports process.

You can also establish the reason required setting globally via Point of Sale Control Settings. The system checks the location first and if the box at this field is blank, it uses the global Point of Sale Control Settings.

To require entry of a comment when a price variance exception for this product occurs, check this box. Otherwise, leave this box blank. This comment can be viewed in the Enter Exception Comments window via the order entry routine by selecting View/Edit Exception Comments from the Actions button on the Merchandise tab. The comment entered is associated with the entire order, and not with a particular line.

 Price variance checks are performed on the line item price, modified order subtotal, and within group pricing. If you leave the Price Variance % field blank, this check box must also be blank.

Click the Arrow button to specify the type of alert you want the system to issue for this location when a user changes the selling price of a sales order line item so that the price is below the cost of the product. Choose one of the following:

• Use Point of Sale Control Setting - The system uses the Selling Price is Below Cost field on the Profit & Costs tab in the Point of Sale Control Settings.

• Do Not Alert - The system does not check data entered against any other files and does not create an exception.

• List on Exception Report - The system creates an exception.

• Warning Message - The system issues a warning message and creates an exception.

• Security Override - The system requires a security password to override the warning message.  The system creates an exception and notes the user who authorized the override.

All exceptions generated by the system appear on the TE Exceptions report generated during the End-of-Day process.

Use this field to enter the minimum gross profit percentage (if any) you want to maintain for sales order line items sold at this location whose default selling price is changed during sales order entry.  If the edited price does not meet the minimum gross profit percentage, the system may issue an exception A condition or irregularity recorded by the system. Exceptions can appear in reports, for example, items on a delivery manifest that were not delivered. alert (see the Minimum Not Met Alert field below).  

STORIS uses a hierarchy to determine minimum gross profit percentage for sales order line items.  

Use this field to specify the check level for minimum gross profit for sales order line items sold at this location. The response you enter here determines system response to sales order line items sold at this location whose selling price does not meet the minimum gross profit percentage.

• Use Point of Sale Control Settings - Uses the equivalent fields in the Point of Sale Control Settings to determine the system response when the minimum gross profit percentage is not met. If a Price Variance % is not entered for the location, you must select this option and also leave the Reason Required check box blank. If you enter a Price Variance %, you cannot use this option.  

• Do Not Alert - The system does not check data entered against any other files and does not create an exception.

• List on Exception Report - The system creates an exception, which is listed on exception reports.

• Warning Message - The system issues a warning message and creates an exception.

• Security Override Required - The system requires a security password to override the warning message. The system creates an exception and notes the user who authorized the override.

STORIS uses a hierarchy to determine the check level for sales order line items that do not meet the minimum gross profit percentage.  

To set a maximum subtotal discount percentage for this location, enter a numeric value from 0-100, without decimals. If you leave this field blank, the system uses the % Maximum Subtotal Discount field in the Point of Sale Control Settings.

If Location Tracking is enabled in the Inventory Control Settings, select this option to track inventory at the storage-location level within this warehouse/store. This option is available only during the initial creation of the warehouse/store.

If you activate the Location Tracking feature for a warehouse or store, you can establish storage/bin locations (rack, aisle, etc.) within that warehouse/store. Then when you receive inventory into that warehouse/store, the system requires you specify a storage location for the received goods. In this way, you can track the location of your inventory.

Important! If Bar Code is active at a location, STORIS does not recommend building and using only one storage location to track all inventory at that store/warehouse. In addition, no more than 1000 pieces should exist in one storage location. Running reports and uploading scanner data can be drastically affected by the number of items in a single storage location.

(LOCKED - STORIS access ONLY!) To activate this location for the WMS Interface, check the box.  Otherwise, leave the box blank.  

• Location Tracked

• Verified

• Invisible Location

• Batch Barcode

• RF Barcode

This field is inactive if the Location Tracked or Invisible Location fields are checked, or if the warehouse is designated as a Store.  

If you check this box, the system counts the number of active WMS Locations and compares the total to the maximum number of WMS locations authorized for your STORIS account.  If the total exceeds the maximum number of locations authorized, an error message appears and you cannot check the box.

 If you check this box, ensure that the Flag P/O Printed field in the EDI Control Settings is also checked.

If the Location Tracked or Invisible Location fields have already been checked, STORIS must run a utility to reset the warehouse location and all associated files and records to Non-Location Tracked before you can activate WMS for this location.

Select the picking method you want to use at this location. Click the Arrow button and select one of the following.

• OLDEST - Oldest First: Choose this method if you want the system to pick pieces based on FIFO First in, first out. so that the oldest inventory is selected first.

• MINIMIZE - Minimize Picks: Select this method to optimize picking by minimizing the number of storage locations the picker must visit. When you choose this method, the system attempts to locate a storage location with enough quantity to satisfy the entire requirement, or a location with the quantity closest to the total required quantity. If the required quantity is found in one location, the entire quantity is picked from that storage location. If not found, picking begins at the storage location with the quantity closest to the total required quantity, and continues to the location with the next lower quantity. This continues until the total quantity required is assigned.

• RECLAIM - Reclaim Storage Locations: Select this method to maximize storage location utilization by giving priority to storage locations with the least number of pieces available to be picked. Picking begins at the storage location with the lowest quantity and continues to the storage location with the next higher quantity. This continues until the quantity required is fully assigned. With this method, the goal is to empty partially filled storage locations, rather than minimize the number of stops the picker must make.

 If you use the Priority Pick and Picking Zone features, priority locations are picked first.

If using Batch Bar Code An inventory bar code scanning process in which you scan labels using a wireless or tethered scanning device. You upload/download information to and from STORIS in batches. STORIS also provides other scanning processes called RF bar code and Store bar code. at this location, check the box.  Otherwise, leave the box blank.
 

Important! If Bar Code is active at a location, STORIS does not recommend using only one storage location to track all inventory at that store/warehouse. In addition, it is recommended that when scanning you limit the number of pieces per scan and upload to prevent possible data loss. For example, you are performing a physical inventory at Store 11, which has a total inventory quantity of 3000 pieces, located in 10 storage locations. If you scan and upload 500 pieces at a time, rather than all 3000 at once, you minimize the amount of data that you would potentially need to re-scan in the event of communication errors.

If using Store Bar Code An inventory bar code scanning process in which you scan labels using an RF scanning device. STORIS provides other scanning processes called RF bar code and batch bar code. Store bar code is a limited version of these programs designed for use with non-location-tracked locations. at this location, check the box.  Otherwise, leave the box blank.  Note that if a check appears at either the Location Tracked or Invisible Location fields on the Inventory & Logistics tab, the system does not allow you to enable this setting.  

This setting applies only to invisible locator warehouse/store locations. If you check this box for an invisible locator warehouse or store, the RF Physical scanner process displays the Area prompt when you perform a physical count in this location.

When you perform a physical inventory at a location that is set for Invisible Locator and this field is also checked, the first prompt displayed on the scanner is the Area prompt. Your entry at this prompt is the area within the warehouse where the count is occurring.

Use this field to determine which type of physical inventory/cycle count scanning is allowed at this location. If this box is checked, you can perform physical inventory/cycle counts by treating STORIS labels as UPC labels and entering product quantities. When set to treat STORIS labels as UPC labels, you are required to enter the total count of any product scanned in the location. 

If the box is not checked, you must scan individual product labels. This setting is not applicable when scanning a STORIS label for As-Is, special order, or serial tracked products. If your user security settings allow you to recount storage locations, this setting must also be checked for the location where you are performing the cycle count/physical inventory.

This field is only used by scanner processes. Check the box to generate prep labels automatically from the RF picking drop-off scanner process for customer delivery orders. Otherwise, leave the box blank.

(Locked field – STORIS update only!) To configure this warehouse for RF bar code picking, this box must be checked. Otherwise, the box should be left blank.  

To change the picking sequence to reverse the second pick sort in alternate aisles, check this box.  Otherwise, leave this box blank.

When you check this box, pickers begin each aisle at the reverse direction of the previous aisle, thus alternating the picking sequence for each consecutive aisle picked. In this way, you can increase efficiency because the picker needs only to move to the next aisle to begin picking rather than move back to the beginning of that aisle. You cannot enable this setting if the RF PHYSICAL COUNT setting on this screen is enabled.

This field relates to the three “Drop off...to Prep” fields below. If this field is selected, and if any of the three order types are set to drop off at a Prep location (see Prep Areas above), those orders are dropped off in one group when the Prep location label is scanned. If this field is not selected, you are prompted to drop off items individually.

This field relates to the three “Drop off...to Stage” fields below. If this field is selected, and if any of the three order types are set to drop off to staging (i.e. field is NOT checked), those orders are dropped off to a STAGE location in one group when the staging location label is scanned. If this field is not selected, you are prompted to drop off items individually.

This field is used by the RF picking process. If you check the box at this field, then when scanning an interim area label, all picked pieces are moved to that storage location, regardless of the "Activate Float feature for this location" setting. If you leave this check box blank and Floats are not active at this location, RF users are required to scan the interim location label and the label for each picked piece, in order to move the pieces to that storage location. If you leave this box blank and Floats are active, RF users are required to scan the interim location label and the float label in order to move the pieces associated with the float to that storage location.  

This field is used in conjunction with interim location settings by the RF picking process. The default for this field is not checked. To activate the Float feature at this location, check the box. You must also check the box for at least one of the "drop off...to interim" settings for this location. When picking merchandise for a location with the float feature and one or more interim settings active, the RF user is prompted to scan the label associated with the float before being directed to a location to start picking. When picking is complete, or there is no room left on the float, the user scans the destination location to move all merchandise to the destination location and maintain the link between the scanned pieces and the float.  

This field is used to indicate whether transfer orders should automatically be picked and dropped into the PREP location. If not selected, transfer orders are automatically picked and dropped into the STAGE location.

To indicate that customer pickup orders should automatically be picked and dropped into the PREP location, check this box. If you leave this check box blank, pickups are automatically picked and dropped into the STAGE location.

To indicate that customer delivery orders should automatically be picked and dropped into the PREP location, check this box. If you leave this check box blank, deliveries are automatically picked and dropped into the STAGE location.

To restrict RF picking to one picker per aisle, check the box at this field. To allow any number of users to pick a single aisle, leave this field blank. Note that all picking processes reference this field, including deliveries, customer pickups, and transfers.

This field is active only if RF Picking is active for the selected location. To remove locks from aisles, use the Remove Locked Aisles (Radio Frequency) routine.

This field is used by RF Barcode transfer receiving. To separate merchandise received via incoming transfers linked to sales orders (auto-transfers) or transfers (multi-leg transfers) from unlinked merchandise, check this box. Otherwise, leave this box blank.

When this field is enabled for a location, the RF transfer receiving process examines the scheduled transfers based on the specified ship from warehouse/store location, route/truck, and scheduled date. If there are transfers with linked lines, the process displays the Crossdock Transfer Receiving screen, indicating that pieces being received should not be placed into storage with the rest of the merchandise.

If no linked transfers are found, the Standard Transfer Receiving process displays on the scanner. In addition, if you enable this field and have specified a drop-off location, that location is only enforced in standard transfer receiving.

Use this optional field to enter up to four characters to be added to the purchase order number when creating a purchase order for this location. If you enter a prefix here and the NUMBERING - Add Location Prefix to the Purchase Order Number field in Purchasing Control Settings is checked, this alphanumeric reference is added as a prefix to the designated "next purchase order number" when purchase orders are generated for this location.

You can use this prefix feature only when you auto-assign purchase order numbers. (The Next Purchase Order Number field in Purchasing Control Settings must contain a value.)

If you also allow manual assignment via the Allow Manual Entry field, you can use this feature, but only for new PO's that are auto-numbered and it only prefixes the purchase order based on the default location specified in the Receive At prompt on the PO.

Also note that if you use the prefix feature and also allow manual entry of PO numbers, once you auto-assign a new PO number that includes the location prefix, the PO number cannot be changed by selecting a different Receive At location.

This field can be used only with locations that are set as "store" location types. You can indicate a receiving location code (store or warehouse) here to specify the receiving location for which a purchase order should be created for deliveries and pickups. Click the Arrow button to select a location from the drop-down list of available locations.  

When creating a purchase order from Enter a Sales Order or Enter an Exchange, the process checks this setting to determine the line's stock location. If the ship and stock locations are the same, and there is a location in this field, the purchase order is created for the location specified here. The stock location for the line item is changed to the location in this setting and any auto transfers that are needed are created.

If this field is left blank for a line’s stock location or the stock location is different than the ship location, the purchase order is created based on the line’s stock location. If you change the stock location manually so that it is different than the ship location, this setting is not used.

If you check the box at this field, sales orders and completed orders are always printed in the default language as specified by the location's Document Language or as specified by the login user's Language Code. When this field is enabled, the default language is automatically selected on the Select Printable Language screen. You can select additional languages, but you cannot remove the check-mark for the default language.

If you leave this box blank, you can select any language on the Select Printable Language screen when printing sales orders and completed orders.

Use this field to specify a list of locations (if any) to which you want to grant employees access. The list affects all employees who sign on to the location you are currently editing. The system references this list when a location list has not been specified in the user settings. You can also restrict user access using the Regional Processing feature.

Use this field to view location lists that include the current location. You can also add the current location to or remove the location from existing location lists.  

If a single list contains the current location, its code and description are displayed. Any users who have that list as either their Global Location List or their Location List in their user settings, are able to access the current warehouse/store in Sales Entry, Sales View/Report, Inventory Entry and/or Inventory View/Report, depending on user settings.  

If multiple lists were assigned to this warehouse/store, an ellipse (...) is displayed. If you click the Action button, you access the Multiple List Selection screen, where all location lists that include this location appear in the grid. You can add the current location to one or more location lists and you can remove the current location from lists using this screen.

If you check the box at this field, the system allows for both system generated and manually entered order numbers.  The Next Transaction Number in the Point of Sale Control Settings must contain a value in order to allow for both types of order numbering.  This process works in all areas of the system where you are prompted for an order/transaction number.  NOTE: This setting has no affect on the numbering of auto-transfers.

If you leave the box blank, and you enter a completed or voided order number at the order/transaction number prompt, you have the option of viewing the order in read-only mode. Once you indicate the order number, a message appears stating that the order exists and asks if you want to view it in inquiry mode. You  can answer Yes to view the read-only version of the order or you can answer No to reenter the number. This feature applies to the following processes: Enter a Sales Order, Enter an Exchange, Enter a Return and Enter a Service Order.

Check this setting to allow this warehouse/store to capture electronic signatures and/or archive business documents. If unchecked, this warehouse/store does not recognize that electronic signature capture and/or archive modules as being active; therefore neither of these features are enabled. The default value is unchecked.

The Document Archive and Document Signature Capture modules are found on the Licensing tab of General System Control Settings.

If you check this box, transfer dates are selected based on the route that has availability rather than automatically scheduling replenishment transfers for specific days of the week. When this field is active for the "To" location, the automatic replenishment process determines the next available transfer date and route. If you leave this box blank, you can select specific days using the following check boxes.  

If you check one or more boxes, then when calculating transfer dates for transfers created via the Automatic Stock Replenishment feature, the system schedules auto stock transfers for the days you selected. The Generate Daily Reports (EOD (End-of-Day) Also known as day-ending processing, an automated process you run at the end of a business day to update daily files.) process reviews stock quantities and then schedules replenishment transfers for the days you specified. The transfer date is determined by adding the Auto Schedule Days (Inventory tab of Point of Sale Control Settings) to the current date, and then a check is performed for the next available day of the week based on the days checked on this screen.

If you leave a box blank, EOD does not schedule auto stock transfers for that day. If you leave all the boxes blank, you can use the Next Available Date field to determine transfer dates. You can also use the Replenish Assigned Stock Levels to generate auto stock transfers on demand.

Select the credit bureau you want to use with the current location. You have the following options:

• None

• Equifax

• Equifax Canada

• Experian

• TransUnion

• Interconnect

If you select None, the system uses the bureau specified at the Primary Credit Bureau field in Credit Application Control Settings.

This field is active only if the add-on Credit Application Module is active on your system (General System Control Settings) and one or more credit bureaus have been defined in the Credit Application Control Settings.

To skip pulling the credit report via the Credit Bureau Transmission process, check the box at this field. If you check the box, the credit request goes directly to the Credit Request Review process following entry of the credit application and the system does not associate a credit bureau with the credit request.  

If you experience technical difficulties communicating with a credit bureau, you can check the box at this field to avoid holding up the entire process.  

This field is active only if the Credit Application Module is active on your system (via General System Control Settings) and one or more credit bureaus have been defined in the Credit Application Control Settings.
