Inventory Selection

Understanding Inventory Selection

What is Inventory Selection?

A query of records based on predefined criteria allows for a more straightforward configuration of Inventory. Inventory Selection is particularly useful for separating inventory for e.g. We can delineate between All Inventory and All Pickable Inventory (Useful in models where bulk inventory cannot be allocated to). This can be achieved by creating logic in the Where tab such as [WHERE -> WORK ZONE = GROUND LEVEL PICKFACE (location.work_zone_id =108)] which defines a certain zone (or combination of zones if required) as 'All Pickable Inventory'. We can then further expand on this by navigating to the Order By tab, which allows us to define the order in which items can be picked; This is typically defined as location template fields 1, 2 and 3 ascending, allowing for natural and efficient pick walk sequences.

Inventory Selection allows users to create a wide variety of rules using a range of Comparison Operators (<, >, =, <=, >=, <>, like etc.) in order to create niche Inventory Selections, allowing for a granular segmentation of Inventory or Locations.

Accessing Inventory Selection

Within the Navigation menu, click on the search bar and type ''Inventory Selection'' and click on "Inventory Selection". Inventory Selection is also in Configuration, under Functional Area Setup > Inventory Control Setup > Inventory Selection.

Adding an Inventory Selection

Enter the name of the Inventory Selection

Choose a new one that is relevant for this selection.

Complete the Where Tab

This tab allows you to set rules that involve logic and comparison operators with Locations. For example, I want to create a selection where it selects inventory from both warehouses.

I have set my initial condition and clicked the submit button at the button of the page.

When two or more rules have been added, you will get the option to select which logic you want for the desired output,
