STORIS recommends you build storage locations only for the number of physical locations in the warehouse racking system and not necessarily for all locations within the location mask.

This routine may be affected by Regional Processing restrictions, meaning that you may not have access to all locations.

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.

During the initial entry of a warehouse’s storage locations, use the Build Storage Locations option from the Actions menu to automatically create locations that match the mask defined in Warehouse Location Mask Settings (Warehouse Location Mask Entry).

Choose how the labels are to be printed:

Zebra Printer - If selected, the Form Name field is inactive.
Forms Designer - This is the default option. If selected, the Form Name field is active.

Use this field to select a storage location to manually add or modify an existing location. If the storage location is a location-tracked warehouse, the Search button accesses the View Products in a Specific Storage Location screen. If the storage location is an invisible location-tracked warehouse, you can use this field to automatically assign merchandise to a virtual storage location associated with the product's group. Enter the product group code here; click the Search button to select a group code from the list.

If using the Float Processing feature, the system prevents the creation of storage locations whose ID matches existing Float IDs.

If you leave this field blank, the following message appears:

Select all storage locations? Choose No to pick ranges.

Click on Actions for detail on the Select Storage Locations option.

Enter the picking zone number (if any) you want to apply to this storage location. Enter a number of 1, 2, or 3. You can apply the same picking zone number to multiple storage locations.

After you set up your picking zones, you use the Picking Zone Assignment Window to assign a picking sequence for your picking zones. That is, you tell the system where to look first, second, and third for inventory.

The current status of the storage locations displays. You can modify the status. You have the following options:

Vacant
Staging - works with the delivery manifest process to move items already picked from the bin locations to this "holding" area.
Active

This field indicates whether the selected location is currently being used:

Yes - inventory currently exists in this location.
No - no inventory is currently assigned to this storage location.
