Information
With the "Edit Tray" application, trays can be requested manually and the layout of the trays can then be edited. It is possible to delete existing bins as well as creating new bins. With this process, for example multiple small bins can be transformed into a new, big one. This also works the other way round, one big bin can be divided into multiple small bins.
For the creation of new bins it is important, that a suitable grid for the tray is stored in the system. Furthermore, the dimensions for the storage bin types must be maintained. Only bins that have no quant data can be deleted. This means that the bin must be empty and no open transfer orders are aiming at this bin.
Selection of the tray
The process consists of two screens: The input screen and the worklist. The input screen is divided into three areas: the navigation menu (left), the main window (center) and the navigation bar (bottom).
The navigation menu can be used to switch between the individual applications. The main window displays relevant data. The buttons that guide through the process are located in the navigation bar.
At the beginning, select a lift where the tray for processing is located. In this example, only one lift is available. The header serves as a reminder of the needed input.

Deleting bins
Touch or click on the bins in the tray visualization to select them (1). If at least one tray is selected (highlighted in green), the button "delete bin(s)" appears (2). In the example, a bin is selected and deleted.
Deleting the bin in the tray visualization has the consequence, that the SAP-bin in the LAGP as well as the STC-bin in the tray-bin-table, where the coordinates and the dimensions of the bin are deposited, are removed. A bin can only be deleted if there is no material stored and no orders targeting that location. Otherwise, a message will appear.
The bins are now deleted.
