E-WMS settings: WMS SSCC

Introduction

This documents describes the settings available for E-WMS SSCC functionality in menu path System, General, Settings, WMS SSCC, as available per product update 407.

Description

The settings tab 'WMS SSCC' contains settings related to scanning SSCC numbers or printing new SSCC labels during sales order fulfillment, or settings for Autopack or SSCC Shipment Builder. The SSCC settings are available for a E-WMS I (SE1380) or E-WMS Lite (SE1386) license. The settings are also partly available for a SSCC Shipment Builder license (SE1387).

You can jump directly to a specific settings section:

General
Generated multi-layer SSCC
Scanned SSCC
Autopack

Section: General

SSCC Numbers
This setting enables the SSCC settings and functionality in general, whether for 'scanned' or 'generated' SSCC, or when you want to use Autopack or Shipment Builder functionality. This setting is not available for SSCC Shipment Builder license (SE1387), because then this setting is always 'on'.

Section: Generated multi-layer SSCC

Use multi-layer SSCC
This setting should be enabled for following scenario's:

you want to generate new SSCC numbers and print SSCC labels during E-WMS ASP order picking. The labels can be printed from the hand terminal, which requires a specific version and configuration of BarTender label software.
you want to work with E-WMS Autopack and Shipment Builder functionality, instead of picking sales orders on a hand terminal in the warehouse.

For both scenario's, E-WMS will generate new SSCC numbers, which requires you to configure how the 18-digit SSCC number is configured.

This setting should be disabled when:

you want to just scan already available SSCC numbers, during the order picking process in E-WMS ASP. Your picked items already have SSCC labels attached, or you are using a stack of pre-printed SSCC labels used during order picking.
Only when this setting is disabled, will the settings in section 'Scanned SSCC' become available

For a SSCC Shipment Builder license (SE1387), this setting is not visible, and is by default enabled.

Extension digit
This is the GS1 'extension digit', first digit of the total SSCC number.
This number is free to assign in the range 0 to 9 and will signify a specific plant or branch office of your organization.
This setting is available as from Exact Globe 402, in earlier releases this digit should be the first digit of the setting 'GS1 company code' (see next setting).

GS1 company prefix
This is the company code assigned to you by the GS1 organization.
In Exact Globe 401 and earlier, above setting 'extension digit' was not a separate setting and has to be added here, as first digit prefix.

Prefix shipment
This is the prefix for SSCC numbers generated by E-WMS for shipment numbers and labels. This digit will be placed behind the company code and is required to ensure a unique range of sequence numbers for SSCC numbers in general. Therefore, this prefix cannot be the same as the prefix for an 'outer SSCC' or 'inner SSCC' number.

SSCC shipment
This is the first sequence number to start with, for the next SSCC number for shipment labels. E-WMS will automatically increase this number each time a new shipment SSCC is created.

Prefix Outer SSCC
This is the prefix for SSCC numbers generated by E-WMS for pallet (outer SSCC) numbers and labels. This digit will be placed behind the company code and is required to ensure a unique range of sequence numbers for SSCC numbers in general. Therefore, this prefix cannot be the same as the prefix for a 'shipment' or 'inner SSCC' number.

Outer SSCC
This is the first sequence number to start with, for the next SSCC number for outer SSCC (pallet) labels. E-WMS will automatically increase this number each time a new pallet SSCC is created.

Prefix inner SSCC
This is the prefix for SSCC numbers generated by E-WMS for box or case (inner SSCC) numbers and labels. This digit will be placed behind the company code and is required to ensure a unique range of sequence numbers for SSCC numbers in general. Therefore, this prefix cannot be the same as the prefix for a 'shipment' or 'outer SSCC' number.

Inner SSCC
This is the first sequence number to start with, for the next SSCC number for inner SSCC (box or case) labels. E-WMS will automatically increase this number each time a new box SSCC is created.

Section: Scanned SSCC

SSCC
This setting determines whether you want to scan SSCC numbers for 'pallets' or 'Outer SSCC's', during order picking in E-WMS ASP. You have following choices:

No: the input of an outer SSCC number will be skipped during order picking
Optional: the input of an outer SSCC number is required for each scanned order line, but the SSCC number may be left empty
Mandatory: the input of an outer SSCC number is required for each scanned order line, and the SSCC number may not be left empty

Besides these settings used in general for the order picking process, you are able to overrule this per customer (debtor), in Exact Globe Next maintenance of Accounts Receivable, WMS button.

When the debtor settings are empty , the main settings from WMS SSCC will be used.

SSCC: Unique
This setting determines if a pallet SSCC number can only be scanned once. Please note, that this is only validated after reading back the picked lines in the control center. You have following choices:

No: an outer SSCC number can be scanned more than once, for the same or different debtors (no validation on existing SSCC numbers)
Yes: an outer SSCC number can only be used once, for the same delivery debtor:
- the SSCC number may not exist in processed WMS fulfillment SSCC data (for any debtor)
- the SSCC number may not exist in unprocessed WMS fulfillments for other delivery debtor numbers

SSCC: Minimum length
You can configure a minimum accepted length for scanning a pallet SSCC number, to avoid scanning the wrong barcode. When the setting 'SSCC' is set to 'Optional', then this setting is not applied when leaving a SSCC number empty. If you would only scan GS1 SSCC numbers, then you could set this setting to '18'.

SSCC: Maximum length
You can configure a maximum accepted length for scanning a pallet SSCC number, to avoid scanning the wrong barcode. If you would only scan GS1 SSCC numbers, then you could set this setting to '18'.

Prefill outer SSCC
This setting is available from release 402, and gives you the possibility how to prefill the pallet SSCC number during order picking:

Copy from previous line (default setting): The SSCC scan box will be prefilled with the previous scanned value (from the current order picking session), and the value can be accepted with Enter, or another SSCC number can be scanned
Empty: The SSCC number will always be empty (and will force scanning the SSCC number)
Outer SKU: The SSCC number will be prefilled with the scanned (picked) SKU pallet number, and then the user can still accept this value, or scan another SSCC. Applies only when SKU Management is activated and when an outer SKU number was scanned to pick this item.
Outer SKU, skip input: The SSCC number will be prefilled with the scanned (picked) SKU pallet number, and also input of the SSCC field is skipped (and not visible to the order picker). Applies only when SKU Management is activated and when an outer SKU number was scanned to pick this item.

Inner SSCC
This setting determines whether you want to scan SSCC numbers for 'boxes' or 'inner SSCC's', during order picking in E-WMS ASP. You have following choices:

No: the input of an inner SSCC number will be skipped during order picking
Optional: the input of an inner SSCC number is required for each scanned order line, but the SSCC number may be left empty
Mandatory: the input of an inner SSCC number is required for each scanned order line, and the SSCC number may not be left empty

Besides these settings used in general for the order picking process, you are able to overrule this per customer (debtor), in Exact Globe Next maintenance of Accounts Receivable, WMS button (see setting 'SSCC' above).

Inner SSCC: Unique
This setting determines if a box SSCC number can only be scanned once. Please note, that this is only validated after reading back the picked lines in the control center.

You have following choices:

No: the same box SSCC number can be scanned more than once (no validation on existing box numbers)
Once per delivery: the inner SSCC number cannot exist in unprocessed fulfillments for another outer SSCC number, or for another delivery debtor. The box number can exist in processed order history (former shipments).
Yes: the same box SSCC number may not exist:
- in processed WMS fulfillment SSCC data
- in unprocessed fulfillments in another outer SSCC number
- in unprocessed fulfillments for another delivery debtor
which means: an inner SSCC number cannot be re-used, and can only be used once in a shipment, in the same outer SSCC number (or with empty outer SSCC number)

Inner SSCC: Minimum length
You can configure a minimum accepted length for scanning a box SSCC number, to avoid scanning the wrong barcode. When the setting 'Inner SSCC' is set to 'Optional', then this setting is not applied when leaving a SSCC number empty. If you would only scan GS1 SSCC numbers, then you could set this setting to '18'.

Inner SSCC: Maximum length
You can configure a maximum accepted length for scanning a box SSCC number, to avoid scanning the wrong barcode. If you would only scan GS1 SSCC numbers, then you could set this setting to '18'.

Prefill inner SSCC
This setting is available from release 402, and gives you the possibility how to prefill the box SSCC number during order picking:

Copy from previous line (default setting): The SSCC scan box will be prefilled with the previous scanned value (from the current order picking session), and the value can be accepted with Enter, or another SSCC number can be scanned
Empty: The SSCC number will always be empty (and will force scanning the SSCC number)
Outer SKU: The SSCC number will be prefilled with the scanned (picked) SKU box number, and then the user can still accept this value, or scan another SSCC. Applies only when SKU Management is activated and when an outer SKU number was scanned to pick this item.
Outer SKU, skip input: The SSCC number will be prefilled with the scanned (picked) SKU pallet number, and also input of the SSCC field is skipped (and not visible to the order picker). Applies only when SKU Management is activated and when an outer SKU number was scanned to pick this item. Copying inner SKU numbers to inner SSCC numbers is done after reading back the picked sales order, from release 407.

Section: Autopack

These settings are only available when the setting 'Use multi-layer SSCC' (see above) is enabled, because these SSCC number settings are required for Autopack.

Use Autopack
When enabled, the Autopack and Shipment Builder functionality will be enabled in the Control Center Sales Order Fulfillment.
This setting is not visible when you have SSCC Shipment Builder (SE1387) in your license, since then it is by default always enabled.

Reports setting
See document WMS reports. The report settings are not available for E-WMS Lite (SE1386).
