This document describes the scanner settings for E-WMS Sales Order Fulfilment, in menu System, E-WMS, Scanners, Sales Order Fulfilment settings. The screenshots and functionality is based on product update 414.
Once scanner settings are defined, these need to be assigned to each device in menu System, E-WMS, Scanners, Scanners. You can use a general settings profile for all devices, or you can set up specific profiles per individual device. Please also read document General notes on scanner settings.
After selecting menu System, E-WMS, Scanners, Sales Order Fulfilment settings you can create a new profile by pressing New, or edit an existing profile by using Open. You can only delete profiles which are not linked to devices.
Description Description of this settings profile (60 characters).
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.
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:
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'.
Screen layout ASP and WMSclient only. Please read this section for more information on 'screen layout'.
Section: Barcode
Dividing character Please read this document for more details on 'scanning combination' and 'dividing character'.
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
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:
Section: Serial/batch number
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
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:
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.
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.
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.
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'.
