WMS documentation

 

Introduction

This document describes the scanner settings for E-WMS Replenishment, in menu System, E-WMS, Scanners, Replenishment settings.

 

Description

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, Replenishment 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.

You can jump directly to a specific section:

 


Section: Submenu

These settings are available from product update 408. After updating to 408 or higher, only submenu 'By order' will default be enabled, to maintain the same default functionality as in earlier releases.
Submenu 'By reference 2' was added in release 412 - 'reference 2' contains the selection code or the sales- or production order number, when splitting replenishment orders.

You can enable or disable one or more of the replenishment submenus on the scanner. If more than one submenu is enabled, these submenus will first show on the scanner after selecting main menu 'Replenishment'. When only one of these submenus is enabled, this submenu will be immediately started when choosing main menu 'Replenishment'.

When all submenus are disabled, you will see error message 'Please select at least one of the options in section 'submenu' in this screen.


Section: General

Browse order lines
ASP and CAB. When enabled, a list of order lines (advice lines) to pick will be shown first, after selecting a replenishment 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. After the selected item is picked, the next 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 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).

Show stock button
ASP only. Determines whether the hand terminal user is allowed to view item stock on the hand terminal. Before release 406 this setting was named 'RF: browse stock'.

Advice mandatory
ASP and CAB. When enabled, the advised location, serial/batch or SKU number are mandatory and cannot be changed.
When disabled, it is allowed to pick from another location, or pick another serial/batch number or SKU number, after a warning message.
Also see document 'Advice line switch'.

Screen layout
ASP WMSclient only. Please read this section for more information on 'screen layout'.
 


Section: Bar code

Scanning combination
ASP and CAB. Please read this document for more details on 'scanning combination' and 'dividing character'.

Dividing character
ASP and CAB. Please read this document for more details on 'scanning combination' and 'dividing character'.

Use EAN128
ASP and CAB. When enabled, EAN128 decoding will be started for any scanned value. Disable this setting when you do not use EAN128 bar codes.
Please also read: how to activate EAN128 barcode scanning in WMS ASP and in WMS CAB.

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: Item

Fill item code
When enabled, the item code will be prefilled with the advised item code. When disabled, the item code scan field is empty; the item has to be entered or scanned.

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: Location

Default value
You can define a fixed issuing location for scanning replenishment orders

Display which value?
Determines how to prefill the location issuing field, with following options:

  • Default value: prefills the 'default value' (fixed location) and you are still able to change and scan the location on the hand terminal
  • Never: prefills the 'default value' (fixed location) and also skips input of the location on the hand terminal. You always use the same issuing location.
  • Empty: the issuing location field on the hand terminal is always empty and has to be scanned
  • Advice: the issuing location field is prefilled with the advised location

Section: Serial/batch number

Display which value?
Determines whether the serial/batch scan field will be prefilled, with following choices:
  • Never: input of serial/batch is skipped (this setting is not applied anymore)
  • Empty: the serial/batch scan field is not prefilled and has to be scanned (this would be the logical setting for most scenarios).
  • Advice: the serial/batch scan field is prefilled with the advised number and can still be scanned

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

Default quantity
Prefills the quantity field on the hand terminal with this value, when the quantity is not prefilled from a scan like an EAN128 bar code.

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, like scanning an item code in the quantity field.

Maximum quantity
This setting determines the maximum quantity allowed to enter on the hand terminal.

Display which value?
ASP and CAB. Determines how the field 'quantity' will be prefilled:

  • Default value: prefills the quantity defined at 'Default quantity', when the quantity is not prefilled from a scan like an EAN128 bar code or a SKU. If you want to pick items always per single unit, it would be better to use 'Pivot Point' (see below).
  • Never: would skip input of the quantity field and apply the 'default quantity', but this specific setting is currently not implemented in WMS ASP or CAB.
  • Empty: prefills the quantity field with zero (0), the order picker must enter the quantity. When scanning a SKU or EAN128 or HIBC bar code, the quantity can still be prefilled if the quantity was known from that bar code.
  • Advice: prefills the quantity with the advised quantity (ASP, from release 411). See this document for more details.

Pivot point quantity
ASP and CAB. For pivot point, please refer to this document.


Section: Reference

Default reference
You can enter a default reference for replenishment orders. By creating different settings profiles for different scanners, you can apply unique references per hand terminal. This reference is visible on the item card as transaction 'description', after processing the replenishment order.

Display which value?
Refers to above mentioned 'Default reference'. This setting determines if and how the reference field will be prefilled on the hand terminal;

  • Default value: the reference is prefilled with the 'default reference', and can still be changed on the hand terminal
  • Never: the reference is prefilled with the 'default reference' and input of reference is skipped (automatically applied)
  • Empty: the reference is empty and can be entered on the hand terminal, or be left empty
  • Advice (new in 407): the reference is prefilled as pre-entered in the control center, and can be changed after all replenishment lines are scanned.
  • Advice + skip (new in 407): the reference is prefilled as pre-entered in the control center, and will not shown again after all replenishment lines are scanned.

The advised reference (as pre-entered in the control center when creating the replenishment order) is also visible on the scanner in the replenishment order list and in the scanning screen (new in 407).

If you are not using a reference, then clear the 'default reference' and set 'display which value' to 'never'.

Section Receiving warehouse

Display which value?

Determines how to prefill the receiving warehouse.

  • Never: There is no option to scan the receiving warehouse.
  • Empty: The receiving warehouse field on the hand terminal is always empty and has to be scanned.
  • Advies: The receiving warehouse field on the hand terminal is prefilled.

Section Receiving location

Display which value?

Determines how to prefill the receiving location.

  • Never: There is no option to scan the receiving location.
