Location Data Element Naming Conventions – It is recommended that the following naming conventions be followed to so that the user easily knows where the data element is located on the Facility Layout.
Data Element | Naming Convention | Naming Convention Example | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Facility | FAC | DC1 | Facility ID must match EXACTLY what is configured in ProTrack Warehouse and being sent in the WMS extraction file. |
FAC-FLR | DC1-FLR1 | ||
FAC-FLR-AISLE | DC1-FLR1-04A | When two or more Aisle Paths are needed for a single rack (i.e. due to a non-passable barriers such as a security cage fence), append lowercase letters to the AISLE element. | |
FAC-FLR-AISLE-1 | DC1-FLR1-04A-1 | The ‘-1’ suffix increments (‘-2’, ‘-3’, etc.) with additional Segments on a single Aisle Path. | |
FAC-LOC | DC1-032457 | Must match the ‘To Location’ field EXACTLY being sent in the WMS extraction file. | |
FAC-FLR1-FLR2-1 | DC1-FLR1-FLR2-1 |

A Travel Path is a connection between two different floors. In the actual warehouse, this may be at a staircase, an elevator, or just any point where two floors connect. Travel paths are similar to Aisle Paths in that they are lines over which travel is calculated, but their sole purpose is to connect two floors. Travel Paths start at one node on a starting floor and end at another node on the ending floor.
Please refer to the Travel Path tab of the current “SOP for XYZ Importing” Excel spreadsheet.
