More fields on the zone

Enclosed you will find a list of further fields:

Field	Description
Zone Code Pick	In the field Zone Code Pick you can define the zone code to which a possible Replenishment is to be transferred. If a maximum quantity is defined for the target zone, this is taken into account. If a "target zone" is defined for replenishment, the Put-away Zone order is taken into account for the bin search within the zone. The zone order is no longer used. The bins must have a bin type code with pick.
Manual Put-away	If the field Manual Put-away is activated for a zone, no bin specification is made for this zone during the directed put-away bin search. If the system proposes this zone as the target for a put-away, taking other criteria into account, the user must manually complete the bin before registering the document. In this way, the employee receives a put-away proposal with a default zone, then puts away the goods "on sight" in a desired free bin and registers the bin used in the system.
Consider Picking Method	If this field is set, then a put-away into the zone may only take place if the receipt date or expiration date of the inventory to be put-away is less than or equal to the receipt date or expiration date of the oldest existing inventory.
