What is the template logic in the storage bin?

[former_member659664]

Hi Gurus,

I don't understand how to write template entries in Storage bin Structure. I looked up to documentation.

• "N" for a numeric character between zero and nine

• "A" for a single-character alphabetic character

• "C" for a character that is constant for all storage bins
  
  
  According to information above, this start value "S021-01-01-A" should write like that "CCCCCNNCNNA" right?

Best regards.

You can't understand the template logic with only one storage bin number.

Let me explain on the number provided by you i.e. S021-01-01-A. Say you want to create bins like the following:

1. S021-01-01-A
2. S021-01-01-B
3. S021-01-02-A
4. S021-01-02-B
5. S021-02-01-A
6. S021-02-01-B
7. S021-02-02-A
8. S021-02-02-B

Here S021 is a constant part of bin number, as well as dash sign.

So in this example the template should be: CCCCCNNCNNCA

However if your numbering schema is like:

1. S021-01-01-A
2. S021-01-01-B
3. S021-01-02-A
4. S021-01-02-B
5. S021-02-01-A
6. S021-02-01-B
7. S021-02-02-A
8. S021-02-02-B
9. S022-01-01-A
10. S022-01-01-B
11. S022-01-02-A
12. S022-01-02-B
13. S022-02-01-A
14. S022-02-01-B
15. S022-02-02-A
16. S022-02-02-B

So in that example the template should be: CCCNCNNCNNCA

Hope it's clear now.

Hi,

"So in that example the template should be: CCCNCNNCNNCA"

To be exact: when talking about EWM (what the tag shows), the template must be CCCNCNNCNNCACCCCCC.

Because the name of the bin is 18 characters and also the spaces at the end of the name are constants.
