Runmode based LP for the same location in the WM.

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved
We currently can't pick on one side of a flowrack and putaway on the other side of a flow rack without WM modification to create two separate locations. Today most customers have one location that is the same for the front and back of a flow rack. This could be optimized and lower the cost for the customer if we could have LP by run mode for the same location. |

Consensus is that this is a nice to have feature, but WMS or Integrations (e.g. SVT) has solutions for this today (Adding prefix or suffix to location when doing a putaway versus a pick). Implementing it will create a lot of work to related solution elements (LocusHub for example)

Please review.
Tim Dolcich and Claire Burke have indicated that this is the eCom sector's top priority and will have a major impact on most of their sites. This is also backed by Casey and the AD team. They have stated that DC4 cannot utilize putaway until this is available.
