Warehouse Setup / Pickface Maintenance / Update Min/Max Quantities [WHS022]
In some instances, warehouses might choose to have the same stock code in multiple pick face bins, and these pick face bins might have been configured with different Minimum and Maximum Stock Quantity levels.
Data in the DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS database tables are set up at a bin level; however, data in SYSPRO is stored at a warehouse level. Therefore, thanks to this module's efficiency, if a stock code is set up against more than one pickface bin, SYSPRO will be updated with the required Min and Max levels on a Warehouse level.

Bin Locations
To configure pick face bin locations, you must create the bins first.
For more information, refer to Create Single Bins or Create Multiple Bins
Configure Pickface bin locations.
The next step is to link stock codes to pick face bins and set up the trigger levels for each record. Trigger levels are typically the rules configured to generate the replenishment reports so that users are notified when pick faces must be filled.
Pick face bin locations are configured under the Maintain Pick face module.
Note: The pick face bin locations and the stock codes linked to the bin locations must be in the same warehouse.
System Setting required to add the same stock code to different pick face bin locations.
Typically, only one stock code will live in one pick face bin location. However, in some instances, the same stock code is required in multiple pick face bin locations within the warehouse.
The following system settings must be updated to configure a stock code in multiple pick face bin locations.
Browse Settings / System Settings on the Ribbon Bar and locate the PICKFACE system name. Update the ALLOW_MULTI_PICKFACE_SETUP to Y(es). If N(o), the system will block the creation of multiple pick face bins for a single stock code.
View stock code
To see all the pick face bins for a single stock code, browse to KPI Dashboard & Reporting / Standard Reports / Pickface Query.
Enter the stock code in the Stock Code field and refresh the data grid.
In the example above, one stock code (A102) is available in two pick face bins with different Min and Max QTYs.
Let’s update SYSPRO on a warehouse level with these Min and Max QTYs.
Update the Min/Max Quantities
From the main menu, browse to Pickface Maintenance / Update Min/Max Quantities.
The Update Min/Max Quantities screen will open.
Select the applicable pick face warehouse from the Warehouse field drop-down.
The data grid will load.
If the line is green, then SYSPRO has been updated; if the line is red, you must still do an update.
The screen will update the MinQty configured for the one pick face bin (PICK-N-003) and the MaxQty from the other pick face bin (PICK-N-004), but both for the same stock code (A102).
Select Update.
The SYSPRO warehouse will update.
All lines that post successfully to SYSPRO will turn green.
