Typically used to separate prime locations from bulk location.

Location Profile

Grouping multiple locations in JASCI that share similar qualities.

How it Works:

EXAMPLE 1: A warehouse that has security cages and uses them to store high value items such as watches, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. The security cages would be represented by the ‘Location Profile’.

Things to Consider:

For the slotting to accurately work, the product category of the product has to tie in with the location profiles. The product category is initially assigned when creating/importing the product into the WMS. The product category represents a group of item(s) that will be stored into the location profile. If watches, necklaces, bracelets, and rings are being stored in the security cages we can create a general code (product category general code) named ‘High Value' which would be assigned to all watches, necklaces, bracelets, and rings.

The system now understands that the ‘security cages’ (profile location) will store 'high value' products (watches, necklaces, bracelets, and rings) in any warehouse location that has the ‘security cages’ location profile assigned.

Location Setup

The following workflow must be followed when initially setting up locations for a fulfillment center.

For general maintenance on a specific location, reference our Location Maintenance work instruction.

Slotting Categories

The following is a list of standard slotting categories: Apparel, Hazardous, High Value, etc. Slotting categories are used to group and identify products for what they are.

Products and location profiles must have a slotting category assigned. If a product does not have a slotting category assigned, the product received will not be slot to a location. If a location profile does not have a slotting category assigned, product received will not be slotted to any locations under the location profile.

e.g. A SEKO client that sells clothing. The location profile would have the ‘Apparel' slotting category assigned. The WMS now understands that the location profile can store apparel products. The client products would also have the 'Apparel' slotting category assigned. The WMS now understands that the products need to be stored in a location profile that stores apparel.

Location Types

The following is a list of standard location types: Case, Pallet, Prime. Location Types are used to identify what UOM is being stored in a location profile.

Location Profile

The following is a list of standard location profiles: OS&D, Security Cage, Prime, Bulk, Special Handling. Location profiles are used to group locations. This can separate product by category or client depending on how this is setup.

e.g Locations SC-AA-01, SC-AA-02, SC-AA-03, SC-AA-04, SC-AA-05 grouped under the ‘Security Cage’ location profile.

A slotting category, location type and location group must be assigned to a location profile. If a slotting category is not assigned, the product received will not be stored into any locations under the location profile. The location type is a required field and determines what UOM the location profile will store. The location group will…[TBA].

e.g The ‘Security Cage’ location profile. The slotting category assigned would be ‘High Value’. The WMS now understands that any ‘High Value’ product is to be stored in any location grouped under the ‘Security Cage’ location profile. If the listed locations stored Eaches, the location types would be ‘Prime’ or if the listed locations stored cases, the location type be ‘Case’. The WMS now understands what UOM can be stored in the locations grouped under the ‘Security Cage’ location profile.
