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 each capacity group it is also possible to define the max quantity that can be stored in a given handling unit type for parts with a specific unit of measure. This will be used when generating handling unit structures in shipments. 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.
No prerequisites are required for this activity.
A capacity group and/or a condition group and/or a capability group is created.
