Locations are grouped into zones. The zone type tells Chainlink how to use it:
- Picking: pick faces that goods are picked from.
- Storage and Reserve: where goods are stored.
- Receiving, Dock, Packing: transit areas.
- Returns and Quarantine: goods that are not available for picking.
When suggesting where to put away, Chainlink looks first for a location that already holds the same lot, then the pick face and then free space in the preferred zone. It never suggests a blocked location.
