Monitoring Location Definitions tab
A Monitoring Location Definition configures a specific location to perform the state transition to a certain target state for Material Monitoring when this location is scanned. The monitoring location definitions configure the alias a location belongs to and the target state a material gets when it is moved to a different location. Locations can be grouped by assigning them to the same alias. All locations which are used in a monitoring process for the same material id must be configured within the same Alias.
The monitoring locations definitions are configured in the Monitoring Location Definitions tab under Material Management > Configuration.
