This document describes the fields that can be maintained in maintenance of accounts receivable (debtors), WMS button. This document is based on the functionality available per product update 412.

When maintaining a debtor in Exact Globe Next, menu Finance, Accounts Receivable, Maintain, extra master data can be maintained related to E-WMS, by pressing the WMS button. Which WMS settings are shown, depends on E-WMS settings and on your license.

Please note: changes in WMS settings are only saved after you press 'Save' in the debtor card, available after pressing 'Close' in the WMS screen.

Allow split batch
This setting is applied in the E-WMS serial/batch picking advice and determines whether it is allowed to deliver multiple batch numbers for the same order line and fulfillment.
Enabled (default): there is no restriction in combination of batch numbers for the same order line.
Disabled: the serial/batch picking advice is limited to advice only one batch per order line at a time, and partial delivery is assumed 'off' (since it cannot be guaranteed that on a subsequent delivery the same batch would be advised). This can result in the error message 'insufficient stock' when there is insufficient stock of a single batch number.
 
This validation is not applied on the hand terminal during order picking (in case the order picker would divert from the picking advice). Available for E-WMS I and E-WMS Lite.


Use SSCC
This setting is available for E-WMS I and E-WMS Lite and is applied in E-WMS sales order fulfilment SSCC registration, on the hand terminal and in the control center, and decides whether outer SSCC (pallet) numbers are to be generated or scanned for this debtor, and if this is mandatory. The settings offers following choices:

• (empty): applies the default E-WMS SSCC settings ('empty' is the default setting when this setting was never configured before)
• No: SSCC registration is disabled for this debtor, even when general SSCC registration is enabled
• Optional: SSCC registration is optional for this customer (SSCC can be left empty), when general SSCC registration is enabled and would be set to 'mandatory'
• Mandatory: SSCC registration is mandatory for this customer (SSCC cannot be left empty), when general SSCC registration is enabled and would be set to 'optional'

Use inner SSCC
This setting is available for E-WMS I and E-WMS Lite and is applied in E-WMS sales order fulfilment SSCC registration, on the hand terminal and in the control center, and decides whether inner SSCC (box) numbers are to be generated or scanned for this debtor, and if this is mandatory. The settings offers following choices:

• (empty): applies the default E-WMS SSCC settings ('empty' is the default setting when this setting was never configured before)
• No: SSCC registration is disabled for this debtor, even when general SSCC registration is enabled
• Optional: SSCC registration is optional for this customer (SSCC can be left empty), when general SSCC registration is enabled and would be set to 'mandatory'
• Mandatory: SSCC registration is mandatory for this customer (SSCC cannot be left empty), when general SSCC registration is enabled and would be set to 'optional'

Use multi-layer SSCC
This setting is available from release 412 for E-WMS Lite and E-WMS I, and is visible when the setting 'Use multi-layer SSCC' is enabled in menu System, General, Settings, WMS SSCC.
When set to (Empty or) 'Yes', and picking sales orders for this delivery debtor, generated SSCC is enabled and it is mandatory to generate SSCC numbers.
When set to 'No', it is no longer mandatory to generate SSCC numbers when picking orders for this delivery debtor, but the SSCC button in the scanner 'Options' menu can still be used optionally.

External shelf life factor
This setting was introduced in release 407 and is available for license E-WMS I. With this setting, you can guarantee that only batches of a minimum shelf life are shipped to your customer.
When you configure this setting to '60', then E-WMS serial/batch advice will advice only batches which have and end date of at least 'today'+60 days. Batches with a end date until today+59 days, are disregarded. This will result in advice error message 'insufficient stock' when no appropriate batch stock is available.

Next to this generic factor per debtor, you can also configure specific factors per debtor per item in menu WMS, Setup, Items by debtor.

Order Pick & pack
This setting is available for E-WMS II from release 411, and is visible when the setting 'Pick and Pack: type' in menu System, General, Settings, WMS Sales Order fulfilment is set to 'Order'.
The setting determines how to handle orders for this customer in the 'Order Pick&Pack' process, at the end of picking stage 1, in status 'Validated'. The same setting is also available at item level.

Following choices are available:

• (empty or) Allowed: Default value for this setting; picked lines can be transferred, but can also be processed directly. The user decides by using either the 'Transfer' or 'Process' button in the control center.
• Mandatory: the picked lines cannot be processed yet in stage 1. Only 'Transfer' is possible, to put the orders back to status 'Advice' for Pick&Pack stage 2
• Not allowed: the picked lines from stage 1 cannot be transferred, and should be processed from Pick&Pack stage 1.

When the WMS Order fulfilment settings 'Immediate validation' and 'Stock transfers: Immediate processing' are enabled and the WMS Fulfilment RF service is running, then Pick&Pack transfers are automatically processed when this setting is set to 'Allowed' or 'Mandatory'.

Only advice SKU type
This setting was introduced in release 407 and is available for E-WMS II and when 'SKU Management' is enabled. With this setting you can limit the SKU picking advice to only one specific SKU type, in case your customer will only accept a specific SKU type and you have item stock on different SKU types available. For more details on how a SKU type is determined when using external SKU numbers, please see document 'Apply specific SKU/item type with external SKU numbers'.

When a specific SKU type is selected and an E-WMS order picking advice is generated, the advice will be limited to only stock of that specific SKU type. This means that :

• this functionality will only work when your SKUs are shipped to the customer without repacking the SKU on another type of pallet
• smaller quantities (less than a full SKU) must be picked from this specific SKU type, because E-WMS does not know whether you would:
  • pick loose sales units from a SKU and build a new pallet for shipment, or
  • pick a full SKU and remove some units from that SKU before shipment.
• In case you do not have sufficient stock (and partial delivery was not allowed) you will see error message 'Insufficient stock, or SKU stock not allowed'. This message will show when breaking up of SKUs is not allowed (and you need part of SKU for your order), or when the SKU advice is limited to a specific SKU type, and there is insufficient stock on that SKU type available.
  

This specific SKU type (when filled) is applied or validated in following E-WMS functionality:

• when generating a SKU picking advice for sales order fulfilment (except when using Pick&Pack)
• when picking sales orders on an ASP hand terminal (in case of diverting from the advised SKU)
• after reading back, during validation in the Control Center

When using E-WMS Replenishment, replenishing customer-specific SKU types is only supported when using 'real-time' replenishment.  Bulk Pick&Pack does not support customer-specific SKU types, Order Pick&Pack does
