Introduction

This documents describes the settings available for the E-WMS transfers process in Exact Globe Next menu System, General, Settings, WMS Transfers, as available per product update 410.

Description

The settings tab 'WMS Transfers' contains settings specific for the transfers process of E-WMS. In E-WMS, transfers refers to both interbranch transfers as to transfers between warehouse locations.
Besides these module settings, also hand terminal settings have to be configured for this process.

Section: General

Communication
This setting determines the default method of reading back scanned transfers from the mobile devices. This document provides more information on E-WMS communication methods. When in Exact Globe Next maintenance of warehouses (WMS button) a specific communication type was configured, than that communication type will be used, instead of this one.

Ask user
When enabled, at each 'read-back' in Control Center Transfers, the user is able to choose the communication method through a pop-up window. Under normal circumstances this option should be disabled. In practice this option will be used when you are communicating with different types of hand terminals - for example wireless ASP hand terminals, and also with CAB Activesync hand terminals (it is not recommended to use several communication methods in the same database). It also possible to predefine a communication type per warehouse, in maintenance of 'warehouses'.

Scan code
Determines how an item is identified after scanning an item- or scan code in the 'item' field. This document provides more information.

Printer
This is the default printer used when printing E-WMS reports; this document provides more information.

Multi-user transfers
This setting is available since release 410. Multi-user transfers enables the possibility to scan a transfer issue on scanner 1, and receive this transfer on scanner 2, in scanner transfer menu's 'Transfer to' and 'Transfer to one'.
When the setting is disabled, only the person (scanner logon) who scanned the transfer issue, can scan the receipt of that transfer.

When enabled, following changes:

• the transfer scanner settings 'Multi-user issues' and 'Multi-user receipts' become available.
• all transfers scanned in menu 'Transfer from' are saved as separate transactions, whether they are scanned as 'multi-user issue' or not. A new transaction ID is created every time when starting the scan menu again.
  When this setting is disabled, all transfers scanned in 'Transfer from' stay in the same single transaction (as in 409), even when starting 'Transfer from' again.
• in menu 'Transfer to' and 'Transfer to one' a browser is shown, where the operator can choose the right pending transfer based on the details in the browser

Immediate validation
When enabled, the 'validation' process will automatically start after reading back and the transfer lines will go to status "validated" or "picking error". When disabled, transactions stay in status "picked" until the button "Validate" is used or until the transaction is opened. When the WMS RF Transfers service is active, this setting should be enabled to allow for automatic validating and processing.
