defined within the warehouse. For some warehouses the same physical space may be used for all three transitional processes. Receiving and Packing area names must be unique when there is more than one transitional area in use across a location. Receiving area for incoming inventory: If there is a nominated receiving area for a location, all goods received are first placed in this area. The Bulk Put Away process will then suggested bins for all inventory in the Receiving area. A receiving bin may or may not be set as a protected area. If a location is using a protected area for receiving the SO/PO linked lines do not generate a Packing Slip on PO Receipt. Packing area for outgoing stock: Like the Receiving area, a separate packing area can be defined within the warehouse. This may either be a logical packing area, or a physical one. The receiving area temporarily holds picked inventory until invoicing. This allows capacities to be correctly calculated, invoicing clears the packing area. If the packing area is not used, the capacity of the picking location is not adjusted until the picked line is invoiced. Cross docking area Cross docking provides an area to hold receipted goods in a separate (non-receipting) area in preparation for releasing linked sales orders. Cross docking is excluded from the standard picking hierarchies. Inventory held in this area will be included in the inventory 'on hand' balance but is not 'available' to other transactions. To display in the a warehouse must have at least one level that and ‘Location’ list, has ‘Is Bin’ ‘Is selected. These are also the pre requisites for a bin to display in the receiving and Mixed’ packing area drop down. As these are bulk areas, the values on the bin type should be set to the maximum. Capacities are not applied to these areas. To clear a bin selection, select the bin, click the delete button, then to press ‘Enter’ activate the save icon. Automatic bin transfers As previously discussed under IN Module Control setup, to automatically create bin transfers to and from the transitional areas, generate settings must be enabled on the IN Module ‘Auto code’ Control | Auto generate code | Bin Adjustments and Transfers tab. The transfer movement from pick bin to packing area is auto-generated when the packing slip line is updated to true. When the line is invoiced, the packing area is cleared of indicator ‘is picked’ invoiced quantities.
