Store Containers in Resource#

🔒 Container.Store

No special setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

Preconditions#

  • The Container exists, it is Active and its System State is Available.
  • The Container is currently not associated with any Resource.
  • The Resource exists and it is Active.
  • The Resource must have the Processing Type set to Storage and it must be Dispatchable.
  • If the Resource has the Position Unit Type set to Container, the Container must not be topmost (it must not be contained inside other Container). Also, if the Container Type has been defined, the Container must be of that type.
  • Resource and Container are in the same Facility
  • The Resource and Container must be in the same Facility.

  • All topmost Materials currently associated with the Container must:
    • Not be In Transit.
    • Be in the state Queued or Processed.
    • If the Material is In Store, the Material Resource Association Type must be Related Container and the Resource where the Material is currently located must match the Resource used in this operation (a Material cannot be associated with two different Resources simultaneously).
