Infor LN Warehouse Management System Configuration
Warehouse Management in Infor LN provides full WMS capabilities including location-based inventory tracking, directed put-away, wave-based picking, and RF terminal integration. The WMS module, configured through sessions like whwmd2100m (Warehouses) and whwmd2500s (Warehouse Handling Rules), controls how materials flow from receiving dock through storage locations to production staging and shipping areas.
Warehouse Structure and Location Setup
Infor LN warehouse configuration begins with defining the physical warehouse structure through session whwmd2100m. Warehouses are subdivided into zones, rows, racks, shelves, and bins to enable location-level inventory tracking. Each location is characterized by storage type (bulk, rack, floor, cold), capacity constraints, handling equipment requirements, and ABC velocity classification. This structure drives put-away logic and picking optimization.
- Define warehouse structures in whwmd2100m with zone, aisle, rack, and bin hierarchies reflecting physical warehouse layout
- Configure location types with storage characteristics including weight limits, volume capacity, and environmental requirements
- Set up ABC velocity classification per location to position fast-moving items in ergonomic pick zones for maximum throughput
- Define staging locations for receiving, quality inspection, production kitting, and shipping to manage material flow transitions
- Configure virtual warehouses for in-transit, consignment, and inspection hold inventory segregation
Handling Rules and Put-Away Strategy
Warehouse handling rules in session whwmd2500s control how inbound materials are directed to storage locations. Put-away strategies consider item characteristics, lot attributes, hazardous material classification, and location availability. Infor LN supports fixed-location, random, zone-based, and closest-available put-away methods that can be combined in a priority sequence to optimize space utilization and picking efficiency.
- Configure put-away rules in whwmd2500s using fixed-location assignment, zone-directed, or closest-available-location strategies
- Set up handling unit management for pallet, case, and each-level inventory tracking with LPN (License Plate Number) support
- Define item-location affinity rules to maintain related items in proximity for kit-picking and production staging efficiency
- Configure cross-docking rules to bypass put-away for materials with immediate demand from production or customer orders
Picking, Shipping, and RF Integration
Infor LN supports multiple picking methods through session whwmd2410m including discrete order picking, batch picking, wave picking, and cluster picking. Pick lists are generated based on order priority, shipping deadline, and warehouse zone optimization. RF terminal integration through whwmd2600m enables paperless warehouse operations with real-time inventory updates, guided put-away, and barcode-validated picking for maximum accuracy.
- Configure pick strategy priorities in whwmd2410m optimizing for FIFO/FEFO compliance, location proximity, and batch consolidation
- Set up RF terminal workflows in whwmd2600m for receiving, put-away, picking, counting, and transfer operations
- Enable wave planning to group pick lists by carrier, route, or shipping window for dock scheduling optimization
