Product Location Status Codes

Use product location status codes to define the type of location in which a product resides and to prioritize the order in which product locations are picked.

Note: For information about pick allocation logic, see Automated RF Pick Allocation Logic.

Assign the following product location statuses to locations in Product Location Maintenance.

Product Location Status Code	Description
P-Primary	Most efficient permanent location for storing and picking product. This type of location remains in the system even when the quantity reaches zero.
S-Secondary	Another permanent location used for overstock quantities of product. Use this location when the primary location is filled. This type of location remains in the system even when the quantity reaches zero.
R-Remnant	Location used for storing left-over product. For example, you might store the remaining lengths of pipe or wire and sell them "as is." This type of location remains in the system even when the quantity reaches zero.
F-Floating	Temporary location for product when the amounts at the primary or secondary locations are at maximum capacity. This type of location is deleted from the system when the quantity reaches zero. Floating locations are used for temporary non-stock locations as well.
N-Null	Code indicating that a status has not been established for the location. This type of location is deleted from the system when the quantity reaches zero unless the Delete Stock Location With Blank Status And Zero Quantity control maintenance record is set to N for the branch.
I-In Process	Code indicating that product is currently not in a location because it is either begin put away or picked. Once the product is available in a location, the system updates its location status code.
