Item Category Card
The item category card is part of the Business Central standard, but many SIEVERS WMS fields have been added.
SIEVERS WMS
- Inbound Stock Post strategy: Specifies the inbound stock post strategy used for items in this category. The strategy determines how storage places are found and assigned during inbound stock posting. This setting is inherited by items in this category unless overridden at the item level.
- Inventory selection strategy: Specifies the inventory selection strategy used for items in this category. It determines the criteria and order in which inventory is selected for outbound processing. This setting is inherited by items in this category unless overridden at the item level.
- Replenishment strategy: Specifies the replenishment strategy used for items in this category. It determines which inventory is selected for replenishing picking locations. This setting is inherited by items in this category unless overridden at the item level.
- Inventory Swap in a Load Carrier: Enables the swap of inventory within a load carrier. Please read the description in the SIEVERS WMS setup
- Merge Inventories with same Characteristics: When merging is enabled, the system checks during inbound stock posting to an existing load carrier whether an inventory with the same item (No., Variant, Lot, Sell-by Date, Serial No.) already exists. If so, the quantity is added to the existing inventory. Consolidation only occurs for inbound stock posts and move jobs, and only when the target load carrier has the load carrier type SU or no target load carrier is set (posting directly to a storage place). The field provides these values:
- Standard: Uses the value from the stockkeeping unit.
- Activated: Enables merging for all items in this category.
- Deactivated: Disables merging for all items in this category.
- Serialization requirement for Inventory: All items with this category require the recording of serialization numbers during picking. This setting cannot be used at the same time as active serial number tracking.
