Setup Considerations

To set up the warehouse and items, you must consider:

• The physical layout and characteristics of the warehouse.

• The dimensions and capacities of all storage areas, racks, and locations.

You also must determine:

• Whether to group items based on similarities, dimensions, or units of measure.

• Which factor is most important in managing the warehouse (you can change these at any time to suit the needs of the business).

• Maximizing storage capacity.

• Maximizing productivity by reducing the number of trips that employees make for putaway, picking, or replenishment of stock.

• Using other criteria that you define.

When you define the warehouse and its contents to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management system, you construct a model of the warehouse and all of the items it contains.
