Maximum weight for a location

The maximum allowed weight for a location (bin, shelf, rack) can be set. This setting is a safety measure to prevent a rack collapsing under the weight of the inventory, for example. Objective will block all movements to this location if the new total weight exceeds the maximum allowed weight for the location.

It could be that the allowed weight is exceeded if more inventory than the allowed weight is found at the location during a stock check. The inventory is already present at the location.

The putaway and relocation rules will not recommend a location if the putaway or relocation movement would exceed the maximum allowed weight.

The maximum allowed weight (5), the used weight (1), the reserved weight (2) and the available weight (3) are displayed in values. In addition, percentages are displayed:

  • The available weight (%), is the available weight (3) in relation to the maximum allowed weight (5).
  • The used weight (%) (4) is the used weight (1) in relation to the maximum allowed weight (5).
  • The reserved weight (%) is the reserved weight (2) already reserved for tasks (6) in relation to the maximum allowed weight (5).
