Common Data - Overview

Overview

The 'Common Data' area merges Material Flow and Workspace in such a way that boxes/containers, part data and shelves can be used across both modules.

Common data planning states can be created, viewed and managed both in the portal and in the clients. For this, open a project. Once the project has been opened, the Common Data button appears in the bar on the left-hand side of the screen:

The Common Data section is divided into three sections. The first is “Boxes”, the second is “Racks” and the third is “Part data”:

Boxes

Boxes contains load carriers and loading units. These can be created, imported, managed and edited here.

Racks

Contains racks. These can be created, imported, managed and edited here.

Part data

Part data contains parts - similar to the logistics quantity structure. These can be created, imported, managed and edited here.

Editing planning states

For “default” and all other planning states, a single left-click can be used to copy the name, adjust the title, description and validity period or delete the planning status:
