Define Storage Requirement Groups
Explanation
Use this activity to define storage requirement groups. There are three
different types of groups: Capacity, Condition and Capability. These groups are
used to define values for a group of parts, making it easier to handle parts
having the same storage requirements.
For capacity groups, it is possible to define storage requirement values for
dimensions, volume and weight. For condition groups it is possible to define
storage requirement values for temperature and humidity. For capability groups
it is possible to define storage requirement values that consists of
user-defined capabilities.
Storage requirement groups are then connected to part catalog records and
inherited to the related inventory part. It is possible to make changes and
exceptions on the lower levels of detail.
