This document describes the scanner settings for E-WMS Stock Transfers, in menu System, E-WMS, Scanners, Stock transfer settings. The screenshots and functionality is based on product update 413.
Once scanner settings are defined, these need to be assigned to each device in menu System, E-WMS, Scanners, Scanners. You can use one 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, Stock transfer 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. The settings are applied in WMS ASP and in the outdated 'CAB' scanner client, unless otherwise stated.
Name Unique code referring to this settings profile (12 characters).

You can jump directly to a specific section of settings:
Section: Submenu
These settings are available from product update 408. You can enable or disable one or more of the transfer submenus on the scanner. If more than one submenu is enabled, these submenus will first show on the scanner after selecting main menu 'Transfers'. When only one of these submenus is enabled, this submenu will be immediately started when choosing main menu 'Transfers'. When SKU Management is enabled, menu 'Transfer to one' is shown as 'Repack to' on the scanner and in this settings screen.
When all submenus are disabled, you will see error message 'Please select at least one of the options in section 'submenu''.
Section: General The order of the settings in this section changed slightly in release 412.
Display which value? Refers to 'Default reference'. This setting determines if and how the reference field will be prefilled on the hand terminal;
If you are not using a reference, then clear the 'default reference' and set 'display which value' to 'never'. Focus to ASP only. After transferring an item, it can be more efficient to return to either the 'location' field or to the 'item code' field (on the same location).
When scanning serial/batch items, the focus always first returns to input of the 'S/B number' after completing a scan. When pressing the STOP button on input of the S/B number, then this setting is applied.
Multi-user issues This setting is available from release 410 for E-WMS ASP and enables the possibility to issue stock in scanner menu 'Transfer from', to be received by someone else. You can find more information in this document. The setting is only enabled when the WMS Transfers setting 'multi-user transfers' is enabled.
You have following choices:
Multi-user receipts This setting is available from release 410 for E-WMS ASP and enables the possibility to receive transferred stock issued by someone else, in scanner menu 'Transfer to' or 'Transfer to one'. You can find more information in this document. The setting is only enabled when the WMS Transfers setting 'multi-user transfers' is enabled.
Default SKU scan mode This setting is available per release 409 for E-WMS ASP, and applies to SKU Management and free scanning process only. Determines the default value of the 'SKU scan toggle', which defines whether a SKU is by default issued as a whole, or only part of a SKU is issued (entry of quantity).
This document provides more information on the SKU scan unit toggle.
Show stock button ASP only. Determines whether the hand terminal user is allowed to view item stock on the hand terminal.
Section: Bar code
Dividing character Please read this document for more details on 'scanning combination' and 'dividing character'..
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: Warehouse
Default source warehouse You are able to configure a default 'source' warehouse for transfers. This can be efficient when you only have one warehouse and only are scanning location transfers, or when a specific warehouse employee is only scanning transfers from one specific warehouse. In the latter case, you can define and link unique 'transfer settings' profiles per hand terminal user.
You can select a specific warehouse or leave this value empty.
Section: Location
You can enter a specific location, or leave this value empty. The location is not validated at this time, because this location could be intended for any warehouse.
Display which value? This setting determines how the 'target location' field on the hand terminal is prefilled:
Note: when Directed Put Away (DPA) is enabled, the DPA advice will always have priority over this setting (ASP only).
Section: Item
Display which value? This setting determines how the item code field is prefilled in transfers;
Warning on S/B status This setting, available from release 413, allows you to show warnings when transferring an expired or blocked batch. The setting has following choices:
As a result, one of following messages can show when scanning transfers:
Section: Quantity
Minimum quantity This setting determines the minimum quantity allowed to enter on the hand terminal. This setting is intended to avoid errors on the hand terminal.
Section: Active sync
These settings only apply when using the E-WMS CAB client with cradled or USB communication, where it may not always be possible or desired to have item master data available on the hand terminal.
Browse items This setting determines if the warehouse employee is able to browse in item master data, thus able to select an item from the list, instead of scanning an item code.
Enter quantity When disabled, input of quantity is skipped, and the quantity configured in 'Default quantity' is applied automatically.
