RE: Stock Locators

Fran and Sylvia,
I have worked with clients that use the last six digits of the "Extra
Description" in a manner similar to what Fran suggested.  The extra
description just doen't show on as many inquiries and reports.  We have
also modified the Receiver Ticket to extract the putaway location and
print the information on the ticket.  Many plants use the receiver
ticket as the document to record where the hauler actually received
item.  If the ticket is modified to print the location, the hauler can
just check that he put the item in that location, or mark it out and
write in the actual location.

Most of this is eliminated by bar-coding equipment, but this solution
is simple until then.

Hope this helps,
