Update of Results in Product
Master 
Use
The system updates the results of the slotting run in the product master.
Features
All the product attributes that form the slotting results exist twice in the product master:
● As active values
● As planned values (can be recognized due to their name)
The exact values that are updated when the results are updated depends on the save mode that you chose when you called slotting:
● Do Not Save Results
We recommend that you use this option if you have performed slotting interactively and you want to analyze the results. If you have performed slotting in the background, you can analyze the log, but you cannot see the results directly.
● Save Results (The system only updates the planned values in the product master.)
Depending on the storage bin and stock situations, it can be useful to save the results of slotting as planned values only. The system only keeps the planned values for a possible activation, and does not use them in storage processes.
● Save and Activate Results (The system updates both the planned values and the active values in the product master.)
The system updates the results of slotting in the fields for the planned values and the active values in the product master. These new values are then available immediately for all storage processes.
Product Attribute Levels
The product master has various views that represent various levels of product attributes:
● Global views
● Warehouse-number-dependent views
● Storage-type-dependent views
Before a slotting run, only a global view must exist for the product, in other words, the product must be known in the system. The system either creates the warehouse-number-dependent views and storage-type-dependent views when updating the results in the product master or it updates them if they existed already.
Fixing Values
You can use a relevant indicator to fix all product attributes that can form the results of slotting. In this case, the system does not overwrite these attributes during slotting.
