Owner Settings and Policy Resolution

This page has two parts.

• Part A shows, for every policy, where the server looks it up and in which order. Read this first when a SKU or an order "uses the wrong policy".
• Part B lists every field of the owner configuration (owner_config).

Read the legend in 00-README.md first. Paths are relative to crates/libs/ unless they start with crates/.

---

Part A. Which policy is looked up from where

A.1 The main table

"SKU" means the row in sku (screen SKU, tab Policies). "Owner" means the row in owner_config (screen Owners, tab WH Settings, inner tab Policies). The order is left to right. The first level that has a value wins.

Policy	1st level	2nd level	3rd level or result when nothing is found	Read in code
Receipt policy	sku.receipt_policy_id	owner_config.default_receipt_policy_id	Refuse the receive: Receipt Validation Policy for sku <SKU> not found: …	wms-inbound/src/service/receipt/validation/validation_service.rs:37-62
Putaway policy	sku.putaway_policy_id	owner_config.default_putaway_policy_id	No policy: the putaway engine reports no putaway policy on the SKU or the owner default	wms-lib-core/src/model/sku.rs:869-883, wms-inventory/src/putaway/policy.rs:144
Allocation policy (looked up when an order line is created or changed, then frozen on the line)	sku.allocation_policy_id	owner_config.default_allocation_policy_id	Refuse the order line: sku '<sku>' (owner <id>) has no allocation policy — neither the sku nor its owner's default names one; assign one before allocating	wms-lib-core/src/model/sku.rs:952-962, wms-outbound/src/allocation/policy.rs:118-126, :164-195 (new line), :200-228 (frozen), service/order/create.rs:177, service/order_line/upsert.rs:108
Cartonization policy	sku.cartonization_policy_id	owner_config.default_cartonization_policy_id	The pick is left out of the carton plan (reason NoPolicy); it ships without a planned carton	wms-lib-core/src/model/sku.rs:910-920, wms-outbound/src/cartonization/read_from_db.rs:199, reservation.rs:154-160
Lot policy (details: 32, SKU columns: 34)	sku.lot_policy_id	none. owner_config.default_lot_policy_id is not read.	If the SKU has no lot policy the SKU is "not lot tracked"; reading its lot rules fails with Lot policy is not defined for sku/owner <sku>/<owner>	wms-inventory/src/deposit/deposit.rs:721, wms-inventory/src/inventory_service.rs:1714
Replenishment policy	sku.replenishment_policy_id	none. owner_config.default_replenishment_policy_id is not read.	The min/max planner reads the SKU policy's urgency thresholds. The SKU column is required and defaults to policy id 1.	wms-inventory/src/service/replenishment/plan.rs, wms-app 137
Picking policy	work_area_picking_policy row for (work area, equipment profile)	work_area.picking_policy_code	Policy DISCRETE. A code with no published revision is an error: picking policy <code> has no published revision	wms-lib-core/src/model/outbound/picking_policy.rs:597-650
Wave policy	chosen by the user when previewing or building a wave; the scheduler runs the policies that carry a schedule	none	no policy: no automatic waves	wms-outbound/src/waves/policy.rs, scheduler.rs
Count policy	chosen when a count policy is run (or by its schedule)	none	none	wms-inventory/src/service/inventory_count_policy/
Serial rules	sku_serial_config of the SKU	none (no owner level)	the SKU is not serial tracked	wms-lib-core/src/model/sku_serial_config.rs

Owner and SKU lookups use one SQL statement of the form COALESCE(sku.<x>, owner_config.<x>) over a LEFT JOIN to owner_config. A missing owner_config row therefore behaves like an owner with empty defaults, and the SKU's own policy is still used.

A.2 Why the owner default does not always work

The owner level only works when the SKU column can be empty.

SKU column	Can be empty in the database?	Effect on the owner default
putaway_policy_id	yes (nullable, no default)	owner default works
allocation_policy_id	yes	owner default works
cartonization_policy_id	yes (wms-app/migrations/009_…sql dropped NOT NULL and the default, and reset every value 1 to empty)	owner default works
receipt_policy_id	no: NOT NULL DEFAULT 1 (wms-app/migrations/001_baseline.sql:2148)	owner default never used. A new SKU gets policy id 1.
lot_policy_id	no: NOT NULL DEFAULT 1 (001_baseline.sql:2149)	owner default is not read at all
replenishment_policy_id	no: NOT NULL DEFAULT 1 (001_baseline.sql:2145)	owner default is not read at all

Also, the SKU screen marks Receipt Policy, Allocation Policy, Replenishment Policy, Lot Policy and Cartonization Policy as required fields (wms-lib-sql/sql/wms-meta-ui/migrations/001_baseline.sql:7370-7371, :7390, :7665-7666). Only Putaway Policy is optional (:7767). The SKU update API can clear putaway_policy_id and allocation_policy_id (services/app-server/src/web/rpcs/sku_rpc.rs, "clear" list) but cannot clear the others. To verify: whether the form lets you save a SKU with an empty Allocation Policy. Steps: open any SKU, tab Policies, clear Allocation Policy, press Save. If the form refuses with a required-field message, the only way to use the owner default is the API.

A.3 Other lookups with a fallback order

Setting or value	Order	Final result	Read in code
Hold time of a putaway location reservation	owner_config.putaway_reservation_ttl_min → system setting PUTAWAY_RESERVATION_TTL_MIN (config_value, or default_value if config_value is empty) → constant 15 minutes. A config_value that is not whole digits (for example 15 min) is not replaced by default_value; it falls straight to the constant 15.	minutes	wms-lib-core/src/model/inventory/pending_move_in.rs:732-748, wms-inventory/src/putaway/reserve.rs:22, :346-351
Unit of display in the 3D view	owner_config.dimension_uom, weight_uom, cube_uom → the warehouse display units	display only	crates/services/web-ui-server/src/routes/warehouse_3d_handler.rs:236-262
Printer for a label	explicit printer in the command → printer assignment of scope Zone (location of the print) → User → Owner → Warehouse (lowest priority number wins inside a scope)	printer id; none = no label	wms-lib-core/src/model/printer_assignments.rs:170-222
Label renderer address	system setting LABEL_RENDERER_URL only if its value differs from its own default → environment variable RENDERER_URL → http://localhost:8086	URL	wms-lib-core/src/renderer_url.rs:159-175
Receipt granularity (Aggregate, Pallet, Case)	ASN payload → operator choice → owner_config.default_inventory_tracking_granularity → Aggregate	granularity	wms-inbound/src/service/receipt/case_level/commands/create_case_level_asn.rs:173-181
Policy for an unplanned case (unplanned_case_on_asn)	ASN payload → operator choice → owner_config.default_unplanned_case_on_asn → if the receipt is case-level and all are empty, refuse to create the ASN: case-level receipt cannot be created without explicit unplanned_case_on_asn policy: ASN payload didn't specify, operator didn't choose, and owner_config.default_unplanned_case_on_asn is also NULL	allow_error value, frozen on the receipt	create_case_level_asn.rs:196-210
RTV destination	dest_loc in the command → owner_config.default_rtv_loc → owner_config.default_returns_loc → error no RTV destination configured: pass dest_loc or set owner_config.default_rtv_loc / default_returns_loc	location	wms-inbound/src/service/receipt/damage/move_damage_to_rtv.rs:148-156
Discard destination for a returned item	owner_config.default_discard_loc → none: the item is written off and no stock is created	location or write-off	wms-inbound/src/service/receipt/receive/return_line_finalizer.rs:145-148
Location opened in the web Receive dialog	owner_config.default_receiving_loc → empty (the operator picks)	location	wms-inbound/src/service/receipt/receive_context.rs:168-172
Shelf-life warning multiplier	owner_config.shelf_life_warning_multiplier_pct → constant 200 if the owner has no owner_config row	percent	wms-inbound/src/service/receipt/validation/validation_holds.rs:70-76
Damage action by severity	owner_config.damage_*_action → built-in: Cosmetic/Minor None, Major Hold, Total Reject if the owner has no row	action	wms-inbound/src/service/receipt/damage/report_damage.rs:966-996
Auto-print of the LPN label after a receive	owner_config.auto_print_lpn_on_receive → off if no row	on/off	wms-inbound/src/service/receipt/shared/auto_print.rs:50-56
Mixed SKUs on one LPN	owner_config.allow_mixed_lpn → false if no row or empty	allow/refuse (code 55)	wms-inventory/src/inventory_service.rs:1143-1151, wms-lib-core/src/model/owners/owner_config.rs (DEFAULT_ALLOW_MIXED_LPN)

A.4 What each stage of the flow resolves

Stage	Policy that decides	Lookup
Receive	receipt policy	SKU → owner (A.1)
Lot capture at receive	lot policy	SKU only
Putaway	putaway policy	SKU → owner; one policy per LPN
Order line created	allocation policy	SKU → owner, at that moment. The policy id and version are frozen on the line.
Allocation	the policy frozen on the line	each allocation run loads exactly that version (wms-outbound/src/allocation/trace.rs:296-313); each pick records policy id and version (allocate.rs:536-537)
Wave	wave policy	chosen by user or schedule
Picking	picking policy	work area (+ equipment) → work area default → DISCRETE
Cartonization	cartonization policy	SKU → owner; none = no carton plan
Packing	the carton plan and the pack station	not an owner or SKU lookup

A.5 What happens when you change a default

You change	Existing documents and stock
A SKU's policy id	Nothing is rewritten. Receive, putaway and cartonization read the new one on the next command. Allocation: only order lines created or changed afterwards use it; lines that already froze a policy keep it.
An owner default	Same. It only matters for SKUs whose own column is empty.
A policy's content (steps, flags)	Read live by receive. For allocation, a line froze the policy version: if the policy version changes later, allocation of that line is refused with allocation policy '<code>' version mismatch for sku '<sku>': line froze version <a>, current version is <b> (allocation/policy.rs:209-215); see file 11. See the policy's own page: 01, 11, 31.
Deleting a policy	Refused if a SKU uses it, and refused if an owner uses it as a default (every owner_config policy link is ON DELETE RESTRICT, wms-app 108). The answer is Cannot delete: record is in use. Change the owner's default first, then delete the policy. (Before P-23 the receipt, allocation, cartonization, lot and replenishment defaults were emptied silently.)

Part B. Owner configuration (owner_config)

B.1 Where and who

Item	Value
Menu path	Sidebar > Owners, open an owner, tab WH Settings
Outer tabs of an owner	General, WH Settings, Addresses, Bank Accounts
Inner tabs of WH Settings	LPN Config, Policies, Locations, Units of Measure, Receiving
Rows	at most one owner_config row per owner (unique on owner_id). It is optional.
Create / update	the first Save creates the row (create_owner_config). Later saves use update_owner_config. Roles Admin and Manager. Read: also Operator, Viewer.
Delete	there is no delete. The row is removed only with its owner.
API-only fields	default_rtv_loc, default_discard_loc, write_off_gl_account_hint, rtv_gl_account_hint, default_inventory_tracking_granularity, default_unplanned_case_on_asn have no field on any tab.
Database-only columns	auto_generate_lpn_format, default_container_origin exist in the table but are not in the Rust model, the SELECT, or any API.

How update works (services/app-server/src/web/rpcs/owner_config_rpc.rs:46-98): a field you do not send stays unchanged; a field you send as null is cleared (for the fields in the "clear" list); putaway_reservation_ttl_min follows the same rule. The three unit fields are checked: an unknown unit, or a unit of the wrong kind, is refused by validate_uom_of_class (weight must be a weight unit, dimension a length unit, cube a volume unit).

If an owner has no owner_config row, every column behaves as its schema default (section B.9) and every lookup in A.3 uses its built-in fallback.

B.2 The seed

Two rows are seeded (wms-app/migrations/001_baseline.sql:8537-8541) for owners OWNER001 (id 1, "Acme Distribution") and OWNER002 (id 2, "Global Goods Inc"):

Column	Seed value
allow_system_generated_lpn	true
allow_commingled_lpn, allow_duplicate_lpn, allow_mixed_lpn	false
default_sku_rotation	Fifo
track_inventory_by	Lot
default_allocation_policy_id	1
weight_uom, dimension_uom, cube_uom	KG, CM, M3
auto_print_lpn_on_receive	false
shelf_life_warning_multiplier_pct	200
damage_minor_action, damage_major_action, damage_total_action	None, Hold, Reject
hide_expected_qty_from_operator	false
default_container_origin	Manual
default_receiving_loc	STAGE
everything else	empty

The other seeded owners (suppliers, carriers, customers) have no owner_config row.

The dev seed sets default_putaway_policy_id to the policy STD for every owner config row that has none (wms-lib-sql/sql/dev_only/install-db/900-dev-seed.sql:1043-1046). A production database does not get this.

B.3 Tab General (owner master data)

Table owners. No field here changes a policy. The owner code and company appear in quantity messages as <code> (<company>) (validation_internal_helpers.rs:64-70).

UI label	Column	Type	Note
Code (required)	code	text 30	unique
Type (required)	owner_type	enum Sup, Cus, Trn, Rec, Con, Own, Man, Dst, Vnd, Brk	decides in which owner list the row shows
Status	status	text 10, default Active	Stored only. No process checks it (search over inbound, outbound, inventory, core).
Company (required)	company	text 45	shown in messages
Description	description	text 50	display
VAT	vat	text 18	display
Credit Limit	credit_limit	number	Stored only.
Currency	currency_code	text 3	Stored only.
Locale	locale	text 10	used for the snapshot capture (web-ui-server/src/services/snapshot/capture.rs:249)
Timezone	timezone	text 50	Stored only.
Parent Owner	parent_id	owner id	Stored only.

The tabs Addresses (fields ISO Code, Contact, Phone, Email, Address Type (required), Company, Address 1, Address 2, City, State, ZIP, Country, Default) and Bank Accounts (Bank Name, Description, BIC/SWIFT, Account/IBAN, Correspondent Acct, Default, Active, Currency) are master data. They hold no policy.

B.4 Inner tab LPN Config

These eight fields were meant to drive LPN numbering and LPN content rules. Only Mixed LPN is used.

allow_mixed_lpn - Mixed LPN

• Column and type: boolean, schema default false. Seed false.
• Meaning: may one LPN carry more than one SKU of this owner?
• Affects: every landing of stock on an LPN: receive, move, putaway (wms-inventory/src/inventory_service.rs:1118-1170). Refusal code 55: <lpn> already holds SKU <list>; the owner does not allow another SKU (<sku>) on the same LPN.
• Example: LPN P1 holds SKU A. The operator receives SKU B onto P1. Off: refused. On: allowed.
• Interactions: the SKU flag allow_multi_lot_on_lpn (several lots of the same SKU on one LPN, code 56) is separate. Location flags mix_sku/mix_lot are separate (refusal text Location <loc> does not allow SKU mixing …).
• When empty: treated as false.
• When you change it: not retroactive. LPNs that already hold two SKUs stay as they are.

allow_commingled_lpn - Commingled LPN

• Column and type: boolean, default false. Seed false.
• Meaning: may one LPN carry goods of more than one owner?
• Affects: Stored only. It has no effect today. Code 57 (CommingledContainerNotAllowed) is declared and a checker exists (wms-inventory/src/service/container/operations.rs:551-566) but it never reads the flag and nothing calls it.

allow_duplicate_lpn - Duplicate LPN

• Column and type: boolean, default false. Stored only. No reader.

allow_system_generated_lpn - System Generated LPN

• Column and type: boolean, schema default false. Seed true. Stored only. LPN generation does not read it (wms-inventory/src/service/container/operations.rs:448 says the owner format is still to come).

lpn_length, lpn_start_number, next_lpn_number, lpn_rollback_number - LPN Length, LPN Start #, Next LPN #, LPN Rollback #

• Column and type: integer / bigint, empty by default. Stored only. No code reads any of the four. LPN numbers come from the system counter, not from these.

B.5 Inner tab Policies

default_receipt_policy_id - Receipt Policy

• Column and type: bigint → receipt_policy.id, ON DELETE RESTRICT (wms-app 108). Empty by default.
• Meaning: the receipt policy for this owner's SKUs that have no policy of their own.
• Affects: see A.1 and A.2. Today it is never reached because sku.receipt_policy_id is never empty.
• When you change it: no effect on current behaviour.

default_putaway_policy_id - Putaway Policy

• Column and type: bigint → putaway_policy.id, ON DELETE RESTRICT. Empty by default. The dev seed fills it with STD.
• Meaning: the putaway policy for this owner's SKUs with no putaway policy of their own.
• Affects: putaway suggestion (A.1). If all SKUs on an LPN resolve to nothing: no putaway policy on the SKU or the owner default. If two SKUs resolve to different policies: LPN spans SKUs with different putaway policies: <sku> (owner <id>, policy <id>), …. A SKU that resolves to nothing is ignored when the others agree (wms-inventory/src/putaway/policy.rs:96-125).
• When you change it: affects the next suggestion. Reservations already made stay.

default_allocation_policy_id - Allocation Policy

• Column and type: bigint → allocation_policy.id, ON DELETE RESTRICT (wms-app 108). Seed 1 (both owners).
• Meaning: allocation policy for SKUs with none of their own.
• Affects: the policy chosen when an order line is created or changed (A.1). Extra refusals after the lookup: allocation policy '<code>' is inactive — sku '<sku>' cannot allocate against a disabled policy; activate '<code>' or point the sku/owner at a different one, and allocation policy '<code>' has no active steps — … (wms-outbound/src/allocation/policy.rs:128-150).
• When you change it: only order lines created or changed afterwards pick it up. Lines that already froze a policy keep it, and so do the picks already made.

default_cartonization_policy_id - Cartonization Policy

• Column and type: bigint → cartonization_policy.id, ON DELETE RESTRICT (wms-app 108). Empty by default.
• Affects: carton planning (A.1). Empty everywhere: the pick has no planned carton.

default_lot_policy_id - Lot Policy

• Column and type: bigint → lot_policy.id, ON DELETE RESTRICT (wms-app 108). Empty by default.
• Affects: Stored only. It has no effect today. The lot policy comes from sku.lot_policy_id only.

default_replenishment_policy_id - Replenishment Policy

• Column and type: bigint → replenishment_policy.id, ON DELETE RESTRICT (wms-app 108). Empty by default.
• Affects: Stored only. It has no effect today.

default_sku_rotation - SKU Rotation

• Column and type: enum sku_rotation Fifo, Lifo, Fefo; schema default Fifo. Seed Fifo.
• Affects: Stored only. It has no effect today. A SKU has its own Rotation field (sku.rotation). No code copies the owner value into it.

track_inventory_by - Track By

• Column and type: text 20, schema default Lot. The list TRACK_BY offers None, Lot, Serial, Batch.
• Affects: Stored only. It has no effect today. (The comment in receipt_detail_case.rs:44 only names the convention.)

auto_close_po - Auto Close PO, auto_close_asn - Auto Close ASN, roll_receipt - Roll Receipt

• Column and type: boolean, default false. Stored only. No process closes or rolls a receipt automatically. Receipts close only by the receipt_close command.

putaway_reservation_ttl_min - Putaway Reservation TTL (min)

• Column and type: integer, must be greater than 0, empty allowed. Helper text on the screen: Blank = use the warehouse default.
• Meaning: how many minutes a directed-putaway reservation of a location is held for this owner's stock before the sweeper frees it.
• Affects: wms-lib-core/src/model/inventory/pending_move_in.rs:732-748; order in A.3.
• Refusal: Putaway Reservation TTL must be a whole number of minutes greater than 0. Leave it blank to use the warehouse default (system setting PUTAWAY_RESERVATION_TTL_MIN) — 0 is not "no TTL", it is a reservation that expires before it exists.
• Example: owner has 30, system setting 15: the owner's pallets are held 30 minutes. Blank: 15.
• When you change it: new reservations only. Reservations that already exist keep their expiry time.

confirm_empty_on_move - Confirm Empty After Move

• Column and type: boolean, default false (wms-app 116; on the screen since wms-meta-ui 156).
• Meaning: a manual move (RF Move Stock, move_execute with source type manual) of this owner's stock that leaves its source location holding nothing asks the operator whether the location is empty (count spec Appendix L, slice 3). A container moved by LPN asks too. Putaway, QC, damage and the other system moves never ask.
• Affects: wms-inventory/src/movement/emptied_source.rs; the move answers ask_location_empty, the RF opens INVMOVZ, and the answer goes to location_confirm_empty with source Move. An answer the stock contradicts orders a count of the location.
• Example: owner A asks, owner B does not. The last pallet of A leaves B-02-03: the operator is asked. The last pallet of B leaves B-02-04: nothing is asked.
• When you change it: the next move.

B.6 Inner tab Locations

All five are plain text codes of locations. Only the first four have UI. A code is not checked against the location table when you save.

default_receiving_loc - Receiving Location

• Column and type: text (no length limit), empty by default. Seed STAGE.
• Meaning: the location the web Receive dialog opens with.
• Affects: receive_context.rs:168-172 (empty text counts as empty). The operator can change it. If the code is not a real location, the receive fails later with the location error.
• When you change it: the next dialog.

default_returns_loc - Returns Location

• Column and type: varchar(20), empty by default.
• Affects: Only as the second fallback for the RTV destination (A.3). It is not used to place customer returns: a return is deposited at the To location the operator types (or at DAMAGE / the discard location). Name is misleading.

default_qc_loc - QC Location

• Column and type: varchar(20). Stored only. No reader. (A SKU also has receipt_qc_loc; it is not read either.)

pick_code - Pick Code, carton_group - Carton Group

• Column and type: varchar(30). Stored only. No reader.

default_rtv_loc - API only

• Column and type: varchar(20). Used first for the RTV move (A.3), before default_returns_loc.

default_discard_loc - API only

• Column and type: varchar(20). Where Discard returns are deposited. Empty: the returned goods are written off and nothing is deposited. The location must carry a permanent hold, like the damage bay (column comment).

B.7 Inner tab Units of Measure

weight_uom - Weight UOM, dimension_uom - Dimension UOM, cube_uom - Cube UOM

• Column and type: varchar(10). The dropdown lists units of the code list UOM of the right kind (weight, length, volume). Seed KG, CM, M3.
• Meaning: the units this owner wants to see.
• Affects: only the 3D warehouse view when it is opened for this owner (warehouse_3d_handler.rs:236-262). Stored numbers and capacity arithmetic do not change (the code comment says so).
• Refusals: an unknown unit, or the wrong kind, is refused on save.
• Empty: the warehouse's display unit is used.

B.8 Inner tab Receiving

auto_print_lpn_on_receive - Auto-Print LPN

• Column and type: boolean, not null, default false. Seed false.
• Meaning: print an LPN label after a successful receive.
• Affects: after the receive commits (ASN, blind, blind line, return, return line) (inbound/shared/auto_print.rs:50-100). Best effort: a missing printer or a render error is logged and never fails the receive. The printer comes from the printer assignment order in A.3. The label is the template lpn_id_label.
• When you change it: only future receives.

hide_expected_qty_from_operator - Hide Expected Qty (Blind)

• Column and type: boolean, not null, default false.
• Affects: Stored only. It has no effect today. The decision log said RF would hide the expected quantity; no code reads the flag (search across the repository finds it only in the model, the API, the schema and the docs).

shelf_life_warning_multiplier_pct - Shelf-Life Warning Multiplier (%)

• Column and type: integer, not null, default 200. Helper text on the screen: 200 = 2x min_shelf_life triggers warning. No range check in the code or the database.
• Meaning: the "warning band" of the shelf life. A lot that passes the hard date check but expires inside the band gets an automatic QC hold.
• Affects: validation_holds.rs:70-80, validation_internal_helpers.rs:156-188. Band days = SKU Min Shelf Life on Receive × percent / 100 (rounded down). If the lot's expiration date (typed, or worked out from the SKU's expire_days) is not later than today + band days (today is the warehouse day), the hold QcQuarantine is placed on the LPN (or the location).
• Example: SKU minimum 90 days, multiplier 200: band 180 days. Expiry in 150 days: passes the hard check, gets QcQuarantine. Multiplier 100: band 90 days: no hold.
• Interactions: needs the SKU Min Shelf Life on Receive to be set. Works together with the receipt policy date_deviation_check, which is the hard check.
• When you change it: only future receives. Holds already placed stay.

damage_minor_action - Damage Action: Minor, damage_major_action - Damage Action: Major, damage_total_action - Damage Action: Total

• Column and type: enum damage_action (None, Hold, Reject, WriteOff, RTV, Repurpose, Destroy), not null. Schema defaults None, Hold, Reject. The screen dropdown shows only the code list damage_action: No action, Place inventory hold, Reject damaged units.
• Meaning: what the server does when someone reports damage of that severity on this owner's goods. Cosmetic damage uses the Minor column.
• Affects: report_damage.rs:966-996. Full table in file 40, section 8.1. WriteOff, RTV, Repurpose, Destroy can be saved through the API but do nothing automatic today.
• Example: Major = Hold. A report of 3 damaged units, severity Major, puts the hold Damaged on the line's LPN. If the line has no LPN, no hold is placed.
• When you change it: damage rows written earlier record the action that was used then (applied_action), so the quantity ceiling stays correct.

write_off_gl_account_hint - API only

• Column and type: varchar(40), empty by default.
• Affects: copied into the damage.written_off event as a hint for the ERP (wms-inbound/.../damage/write_off_damage.rs:245). No other effect.

rtv_gl_account_hint - API only

• Column and type: varchar(40). Copied into the damage.rtv_initiated event (move_damage_to_rtv.rs:209).

default_inventory_tracking_granularity - API only

• Column and type: enum Aggregate, Pallet, Case; empty by default.
• Affects: the granularity of a new case-level ASN (A.3). Empty: Aggregate.
• When you change it: new ASNs only. The value is frozen on each receipt header.

default_unplanned_case_on_asn - API only

• Column and type: allow_error; empty by default.
• Affects: what happens when an operator scans a case that is not on the ASN (A.3, and file 40 section 4.5). Frozen on the receipt when the ASN is created. HardError refuses the scan; Allow and Warning both accept it (Warning asks nothing).

B.9 Columns that exist only in the database

Column	Schema default	Note
auto_generate_lpn_format	empty	Comment: Format string for auto-generated LPN codes (e.g. "OWN-{date}-{seq}"). Not in the Rust model, not read, not writable by API.
default_container_origin	Manual	Enum container_origin. Not in the Rust model, not read.

B.10 Count of settings

There are 42 owner settings (48 columns with id, owner_id and the four audit columns).

22 are read by the server: allow_mixed_lpn, default_receipt_policy_id (read, but never reached, see A.2), default_putaway_policy_id, default_allocation_policy_id, default_cartonization_policy_id, putaway_reservation_ttl_min, default_returns_loc, default_rtv_loc, default_discard_loc, default_receiving_loc, weight_uom, dimension_uom, cube_uom, auto_print_lpn_on_receive, shelf_life_warning_multiplier_pct, damage_minor_action, damage_major_action, damage_total_action, write_off_gl_account_hint, rtv_gl_account_hint, default_inventory_tracking_granularity, default_unplanned_case_on_asn.

B.11 Findings

#	Finding	Where
1	Owner default receipt policy cannot be reached because the SKU column is NOT NULL DEFAULT 1.	001_baseline.sql:2148
2	Owner defaults for lot and replenishment policy have no reader.	search over *.rs
3	allow_commingled_lpn is never read; the checker for code 57 has no caller.	operations.rs:551-566
4	default_returns_loc is not used for returns, only as RTV fallback.	move_damage_to_rtv.rs:148-156
5	The SKU form marks cartonization and allocation policy as required although the database and the lookup treat empty as "inherit".	wms-meta-ui 001_baseline.sql:7370, :7390
6	The printer_assignments column comment says the order is User → Zone → Owner → Warehouse; the code does Zone → User → Owner → Warehouse.	001_baseline.sql:3892, printer_assignments.rs:170-184
7	A PUTAWAY_RESERVATION_TTL_MIN value with letters skips default_value and falls to 15.	pending_move_in.rs:736-741
