Manage the warehouses where the label preparation, scanning activities, and printing are performed. Each warehouse can have multiple locations for operations. You can create sublocations and storage locations that are linked to the warehouse.
List of Procedures
Creating a Warehouse
You can create a warehouse by adding its master data.
Before You Begin
Make sure that you have configured the following:
- SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure (AII) channel
- Printing template
- Preprinting template
- Reprinting template
The SAP AII channel is used for communication with the applicable SAP system, for example, reporting the activity or data validation.
The labels are printed based on the printing templates specified for the warehouse.
Procedure
1. In the Serialized Logistics for Agro application, select the Warehouses tab. The application displays the list of warehouses and the Create warehouse form.
Note: When viewing the details of a warehouse, you can open the Create warehouse form by clicking Add new +.
Example:

Reprinting template | Select a reprinting template from the drop-down list. Note: Selecting a reprinting template enables the operators to reprint SSCC labels in the Serialized Logistics for Agro mobile application, for example, due to damage.
