You can jump directly to a specific section:
Section: Submenu
These settings are available from product update
408. You can disable one of the order menus on the scanner. If both are
enabled, a submenu will first show on the scanner after selecting main menu
'Orders'. When only one of these submenus is enabled, this submenu will be
immediately started when choosing main menu 'Orders'.
Order packing is required for the E-WMS Pick&Pack order process, but can be
started as well outside of that process if you do not require a guided route to
pick items.
When both submenus are disabled, you will see error message 'Please select at
least one of the options in section 'submenu''.
Section: General
Order list sorting to Sort descending 3
These settings are available from release
410
(for E-WMS I, ASP only) and configure the sort order of the orders to pick, in
the order list on the scanner (order picking and order packing). Besides
changing the sort order, also the information shown in the order list depends on
this setting. You have the possibility to sort the orders up to 3 levels, and
sort ascending or descending per level.
The settings 'Order listing sorting' (2, 3) offer following choices to sort
the order list. Default, the selected sort fields are shown in the scanner order
list next to the sales order number and order debtor name, unless otherwise
stated.
- None: available only for 'Order list
sorting 2' and 'Order list sorting 3'. Allows no specific sorting besides
the primary sorting.
- Order number: the default value for 'Order
list sorting' and the default sort order in release 409 and earlier.
Shows order debtor name from the sales order.
- Delivery debtor name: name of the sales
order delivery debtor
- Delivery debtor number: debtor code of the
delivery debtor. Also shows the delivery debtor name and order debtor name
from the sales order.
- Order debtor name: name of the order debtor
from the sales order
- Order debtor number: debtor code of the
order debtor in the sales order. Shows also the name of the order debtor,
from the sales order.
- Moment of sending orders: the list is
sorted by sequence of sending the orders picking. This is defined by the
sequence in which orders are selected (multi-select using shift-click or
control-click) in the control center, and in general in chronological order
of sending picking. Shows order number and order debtor name.
- Selection code: selection code in the sales
order. Shows order debtor name and selection code (or empty line if
selection code was empty)
- Route code: route code in the sales order.
Shows order debtor name and route code (or empty line if route code was
empty)
- Shipping via: shipping method or delivery
method code used in the sales order
- Delivery date: delivery date from the order
(header)
- Description 1: description 1 in the order
header, 'Conditions' button
- Description 2: description 2 in the order
header, 'Conditions' button
- Description 3: description 3 in the order
header, 'Conditions' button
- Item code: the first item code to be picked
for this order. When having sales orders with one item per order, this
option would allow you to sort the order list already by item code.
- Total quantity: the total quantity to be
picked for this order. When sales orders contain items with equal types of
sales units, this option allows you to sort the order list by workload or
'size' of the order. When selected, the total quantity is shown per order,
preceded by the text 'Total qty.'.
When combining 2 or 3 sort options, E-WMS will try to show multiple key
fields in one row in the order list, but that is not always possible. Using
multiple sort options may result in showing extra lines per order 'button'
in
the scanner order list.
The 3 settings 'Sort descending' allow you to sort reversed. The default sorting
is ascending (setting disabled, 0..9 and A...Z), you can enable the setting to sort
descending (9...0 and Z...A). For example for 'total quantity' you can show either
the smallest or the largest orders on top.
Sales orders marked as 'urgent' are always shown first. After primary sorting
by 'urgency', these sorting settings are applied.
Browse order lines
ASP and CAB. When enabled, a list of order lines
(advice lines) to pick will be shown first, after selecting an order. You have
to select a specific line from that list to start picking. This way you can
start with another item than otherwise default would be started with. The order line browser
only shows once, after selecting the order. When the selected item is picked,
the next first open line will automatically be presented. From product update 404,
the order line browser is also shown when using the
STOP button and choosing 'Skip advice line for now'.
When this setting is disabled, the first advice line (and logically,
the first location to visit) will be opened
automatically after selecting an order to pick.
Show picked lines
ASP and CAB ActiveSync only. When enabled, a list of
the picked lines shows after the order is fully picked. This list shows totals
per picked advice line (per location per item).
Allow additions
ASP and CAB.
When enabled, the 'Add' button will be enabled while
order picking, and the order picker has the possibility to add items which were
not ordered.
To read back and still allow these additional lines, the setting 'Allow
additions' in the general settings
WMS Sales Order Fulfilment also has to be enabled.
When this setting is disabled, the 'Add' button is
disabled on the scanner.
Collected: add to
Available from release 410 (ASP, E-WMS I). When the setting 'Allow additions'
(see above setting) is enabled, you are
able to add extra ordered or non-ordered items. When picking orders collected
(setting 'Collect' enabled, in menu System, General,
Settings, WMS Sales Order fulfilment, section Send to scanner) and
adding an extra item in the picking closing screen ('All lines are scanned'
message), this item would always be
added to the last picked sales order. Using this setting, you can configure to which order the additional items
should be added:
- Last picked order: the default setting, add
the extra items to the last picked order
- Lowest order number: add the additional
item to the lowest order number in the current collection order
- Highest order number: add the additional
item to the highest order number in the current collection order
RF: display debtor
CAB RF only: when enabled, a popup window will show
after picking, showing the debtor number.
Show stock button
ASP and CAB RF. Determines whether the hand terminal
user is allowed to view
item stock on the scanner. In CAB RF, a button will show to view stock
per location for the current item. Before release 406 this setting was
named 'RF: browse stock'.
Advice mandatory
ASP and CAB. When enabled, the advised location, serial/batch or SKU number are
mandatory and cannot be changed.
When disabled, the order picker
is allowed to pick from another location, or pick another serial/batch number
or SKU number, after a warning message.
Also see document '
Advice
line switch'.
Screen layout
ASP and WMSclient only. Please read
this section for more information on 'screen layout'.
Section: Barcode
Scanning combination
Please read
this document for more details on 'scanning combination'.
Dividing character
Please read
this document for more details on 'scanning combination' and 'dividing
character'.
Use EAN128
ASP and CAB. When enabled,
EAN128 decoding will be started for
any scanned value. Disable this setting when you do not use EAN128 bar codes.
Please also read:
how to activate EAN128 barcode scanning in WMS ASP and in
WMS CAB.
Focus to next field
ASP only.
Please read
this document for more information on this setting. This setting is
available in this screen from release
409, in earlier releases this was a
general
scanner setting.
Show barcode summary
Available from product update 404 (ASP and for
WMS client only). When enabled, a summary screen will show (in which you
have to press Enter or OK) after a scan, when otherwise you would have moved to
the next transaction screen immediately. This way you still have a
confirmation of what you scanned, before the next scan screen is shown. Typically,
this will be the case when you have disabled the setting '
Focus
to next field' and scanning a SKU number, or an EAN128 or HIBC bar code.
Please also see
this document for more information on this setting.
Section: item
Fill item code
ASP and CAB. When enabled, the advised item code is
prefilled in the item code scan field. The order picker can just press ENTER and
does not have to scan the item. When disabled, the item code scan field is empty
and has to be scanned or entered.
When the setting 'Serial/batch number'/'Display which value' is configured to
'Advice', then 'Fill item code' has to be enabled. This is because when the S/B
number is prefilled, the S/B number is also validated - and 'item code' is part
of the unique key of a S/B number and has to be prefilled for that. If you have
S/B number configured to be prefilled with 'Advice' but 'Fill item code'
disabled, an error message will show while trying to save these settings (from
release 414): "The
combination of prefilling serial/batch number with advice and not prefilling
item code is not supported".
Section: Order picking: location
Default value
ASP and CAB. You can configure a default location
for order
picking (also see order
packing settings below)
Display which value?
ASP and CAB, refers to the default value for the
order picking location. Determines which location will be prefilled in the
'location' scan field:
-
Default value: the location scan field
will be prefilled with the default order picking location, and can still be
scanned. This location can than be different from the advised location,
which would lead to unclear situations.
-
Never: the location scan field will be
prefilled with the default order picking location and will be skipped. This
location can than be different from the advised location, which would lead
to unclear situations.
-
Empty: the location is not prefilled with
any value and has to be scanned (this would be the logical setting for most
scenarios).
-
Advice: the location is prefilled with
the advised location (either the calculated location or the item's main
location, depending whether 'picking advice' was enabled or not), the order picker
can press ENTER instead of scanning the location.
-
Advice + skip (ASP only): the location is
prefilled with the advised location and input of the location field is
skipped
Section: Serial/batch number
Display which value?
ASP and CAB. Determines whether the serial/batch
scan field will be prefilled, with following choices:
-
Never: input of serial/batch is skipped
(this configuration is not applied anymore since the item type should decide
this)
-
Empty: the serial/batch scan field is not
prefilled and has to be scanned (this would be the logical setting for most
scenarios).
-
Advice: the serial/batch scan field is
prefilled with the advised number and can still be scanned
When this setting is configured to
'Advice', then the setting 'Fill item code' has to be enabled. This is because
when the S/B number is prefilled, the S/B number is also validated - and 'item
code' is part of the unique key of a S/B number and has to be prefilled for
that. If you have S/B number configured to be prefilled with 'Advice' but 'Fill
item code' disabled, an error message will show while trying to save these
settings (from release 414): "The
combination of prefilling serial/batch number with advice and not prefilling
item code is not supported".
Section: Quantity
Show item order total
This setting was introduced in 410 and is visible when your license contains
SE1380 E-WMS I (or older license SE5700 Pick-IT Basic). When enabled, an extra
quantity is shown in the order picking screen or order packing screen: the item total for the
whole order, next to the item quantity to be picked for the current location:
In this sample, the quantities have following meaning:
- 35 already picked
- of total 63 to pick on current location 'PACK'
- of total 80 to pick in total for this order
- 20 now to pick of batch 120615
When the WMS setting 'Collect' (in WMS Sales order fulfilment settings,
section 'Send to scanner') is enabled, and the same item is to be picked for
several sales orders, the third total is the total for the order currently shown
on the picking screen. This is the total for the 'real' sales order, not for all
sales orders in the collected order.
When the WMS setting 'Collect advice per item' (in WMS Fulfilment advice
settings, introduced in release 410) is enabled, and quantities are summarized
over several orders before generating a picking advice, then you will see the total
per item for all 'collected' orders in the picking screen, since on the scanner
you will not see the real sales order number in this case.
Default quantity
ASP and CAB. You can configure a default quantity,
in combination with the setting 'Display which value?'. The default value is 0.
Leave this value to 0 if you want to
avoid just pressing 'Enter' in the process too quickly (and
fulfilling
a default quantity). If you often scan items per single unit, it is better to use
'Pivot point' (see below).
Display which value?
ASP and CAB. Determines how the field 'quantity'
will be prefilled:
-
Default value: prefills the quantity
defined at 'Default quantity', when the quantity is not prefilled from a
barcode scan like EAN128 or a SKU number. If you want to pick items always per
single unit, it would be better to use 'Pivot Point' (see below).
-
Never: would skip input of the quantity
field and apply the 'default quantity', but this specific setting is
currently not implemented in WMS ASP or in the old 'CAB' client.
-
Empty: prefills the quantity field with
zero (0), the order picker must enter the quantity. When scanning a SKU, or
a EAN128 or HIBC bar code, the quantity will still be prefilled if the quantity
is part of that bar code.
-
Advice: prefills the quantity with the advised
quantity (ASP, from release 411). See
this document for more details.
Minimum quantity
ASP and CAB. This setting determines the minimum
quantity allowed to enter on the hand terminal. This setting is intended to
avoid errors on the hand terminal.
Maximum quantity
ASP and CAB. This setting determines the maximum
quantity allowed to enter on the hand terminal. This setting is intended to
avoid errors on the hand terminal, like scanning the item code in the quantity
field by mistake.
Pivot point quantity
ASP and CAB. For pivot point, please refer to
this document.
Pivot point batch
ASP only. For pivot point, please refer to
this document.
Section: Order packing
The settings in this section are only applied when using 'order packing'
(random scanning of ordered items, typically in a Pick&Pack process), in scanner
menu [Orders, (Order picking,) Order packing].
Pack flow
ASP only. This setting determines whether you are
scanning items randomly, or per item in sequence. In effect: at what moment the
fulfilled quantity will be validated.
-
Random scan manual differences: you are
scanning items randomly. After entry of quantity there is no immediate quantity
validation, only when you indicate you are done with the order, then quantities
are validated. In case of differences, the message 'There are differences' will
show, allowing you to edit and change the picked lines.
-
Random scan: you are scanning items randomly.
After entry of quantity there is no immediate quantity validation, and also when
the order is done, quantities are not validated. Only after reading back and
validating through the WMS RF service, or in the control center, quantities are
validated according to the WMS settings for Sales Order Fulfilment.
-
Scan per item: once you scan one specific
item, it is assumed that you pick that item in total. When picking less
than advised, you will see the message 'Scanned less. Do you want to close
the line?'
Whether immediate quantity validation is applied
also depends on other circumstances. When scanning batch items, or when using
SSCC, quantities are not validated per line since it is likely that in those
cases you will 'split' the lines.
Focus to
ASP only. After picking a serial/batch item randomly, it can be efficient to
return to scanning a new 'item code', or instead to a new batch number for the same
item.
-
item code: after picking a serial/batch
item, the focus returns to item code. You are able to scan the same or
another item.
-
serial/batch number: after picking a
serial/batch item, the focus returns to a new serial/batch number for the
same item.
When using EAN128 bar codes which
include 'item', 'S/B' and 'quantity', returning to 'item' is more efficient.
When working without EAN128 bar codes and in case often several different S/B
numbers are to be picked, then focus to 'serial/batch number' may be more
efficient.
Section: Order packing: Location
Default value
ASP only. Allows you to configure a default location
for order packing. Since you can use any warehouse for Fulfilment, there is no
validation of the entered location in this screen.
To apply a default packing location, the setting 'Display which value'
will have to be configured to 'Default value' or to 'Never'.
Display which value?
ASP only. Determines how to prefill the 'location' field in
the order packing process, with following options:
-
Default value: prefills the
'default value' and you are still able to change and scan the location on
the hand terminal. This location can however be different from the advised
location, which will lead to unclear situations.
-
Never: prefills the 'default value' and
also skips input of the location on the hand terminal. You can only fulfill
from this specific location. This location can however be different from the
advised location, which will lead to unclear situations.
-
Empty: the location field on the hand
terminal is always empty and has to be scanned
-
Advice: prefills the advised
location and you are still able to change and scan the location on the hand
terminal (logical choice for order packing).
-
Advice + skip: prefills the advised location
and also skips input of the location on the hand terminal (most
logical choice for order packing).
