Field Name Description/Instructions
Use Extra Receiving Features

Enter Y to set the option to activate the use of any of the next four table options on this screen.

If this option is activated, information from any of the following four tables, if activated, shows up on the Enter Receipts Screen (INB 1).

Recalculate extra receiving fields during receipt posting

Activating the setting allows the system to recalculate the Extra Receiving features (freight, exchange, duty and rebate) when inventory is received. Prior to the introduction of this setting in 2017, the extra receiving features were calculated at pre-receipt.

Is the setting is set to:

  • Y - recalculate freight, exchange amount, duty amount, and rebate during receipt posting using the current conversion factors. When post receipts is run from either Navigator or DES recalculate freight, exchange amount, duty amount, and rebate using the current conversion factors.
  • N - (the default) - The extra receiving features are calculated at pre-receipt.

  • Navigator - Receipts are posted in Navigator Inventory Receiving by choosing Available options and then Post receipts.
  • Green Screen - Receipts are posted in DES using menu INB option 5.
  • Warehouse Settings Table - SET 14 - is where the currency is assigned to a supplier.
  • Warehouse Settings Table - SET 14 - When the receipt is entered and posted it uses the exchange rate from this table.
Use Additional Freight Table Enter Y to activate the use of the Warehouse Settings Table - SET 14 in the receiving application.
Use Currency Exchange Rate Table Enter Y to activate the use of the Warehouse Settings Table - SET 14 in the Receiving Application.
Use Duty Table Enter Y to activate the use of the Duty Table in the Receiving Application.
Use Expected Supplier Rebate Table

Enter Y to activate the use of the Warehouse Settings Table - SET 14 in the Receiving Application.

Both positive and negative rebates can be added to the Expected Supplier Rebates Table.

  • A negative rebate percentage adds to the receipt value and a positive percentage reduces the cost in receiving.
  • The Positive Rebate Percentage and Negative Rebate Percentage settings allow you to keep the rebate amount when the freight is being replaced.
Manifest Number Required During Receiving Enter Y to require the entry of a manifest number when receiving inventory.
Change Location on Open Orders for S/N Location Change?

Enter Y if you want to change the locations for allocated stock as well as unallocated stock, when bin location changes are made. For example, if a bin location had 100 units onhand, but 70 allocated to customer orders, entering Y here allows you to move all 100 units. The customer orders, as well as the stock, are updated to reflect the new bin locations. This option is especially useful when there are orders that have not yet printed in the warehouse, but whose stock is relocated while allocated to the order. We recommend the Y option.

Does This Warehouse Scan/Key Staging Locations?

Enter Y if this warehouse requires the scanning of staging locations. The Y option causes the warehouse load sheet and packing list programs to check for a scanned or keyed staging location when printing. If a staging location is found, it is printed instead of the location the material was originally picked from. Only enter Y if you record staging locations after a pick.

M - Move Option

  • M= Staging locations are scanned or keyed, and are to be stored in Order Notepad, but are to be reflected on all screens and documents, and are to trigger a real-time move of the inventory into that staging location.
  • If the M code is set, the Update Order Status program (# 5 on warehouse menu) will move material whenever a location is specified. It moves the allocated material on that order/line to the staging location, which is reflected on the order itself and on all inventory inquiry screens for that item.
  • When a warehouse changes its setting from Y to M, any orders already staged using the Y option should be restaged using the M option. These orders do not have the real-time move performed. To restage, simply scan or key the order/line, and re-enter the staging location.
  • The M option significantly improves your ability to perform accurate cycle counts. The M option causes the onhand quantities to shift from the storage bin locations to the staging locations. This even allows for cycle counting of your staging areas.
Show Default Serial numbers on Pick/Pack Lists? Enter Y if you want to print default serial numbers on the pick and packing lists. Enter N to suppress printing of serial numbers when they are merely default serial numbers. Suppressing non-default serial numbers can reduce the number of lines printed on these documents.
Use Pick-labels instead of Pallet-Build-Sheets for UCC128 Customers?

This option relates to the Warehouse System for customers who require UCC-128 pallet labeling. Normally the warehouse picks from bar coded pallet build sheets when building pallets for UCC-128 customers. Enter Y for this option if your warehouse personnel would rather use bar coded individual pick labels than pallet build sheets.

Allow receiving system to use lot# for other than special orders? Many users require the Lot# field for special orders only, which automatically generates and uses lot numbers S001 - S999. This option allows you to prevent the entry (accidental or otherwise) of lot numbers other than those used for special orders. If a user tries to receive or adjust a lot number other than a special order lot number, the system issues the appropriate error message and prevents the entry. It is recommended you enter N here, unless you use the lot # field for orders other than special orders. Do not confuse lot number with serial number when making this decision.

Press F11 to access the second screen of settings.

Field Name Description/Instructions
Only use Will Call Printer if a COD order?

This option is for companies that want to redirect COD will call (pick up) orders to a separate printer than the regular warehouse pick list printer. To redirect COD will calls to a separate printer, enter Y in this option and specify the printer in the Warehouse File Will Call Printer field. This option further limits the Warehouse File Will Call Printer option, so only COD Will Calls are directed to that printer.

Using the various options, pick lists within a warehouse can be routed as follows:

In the Warehouse File, enter a pick list printer ID, and leave the Will Call Pick List printer ID blank, and all pick lists will route to the regular pick list printer ID.

In the Warehouse File, enter a pick list printer ID, and a different printer ID in the Will Call Printer field. This causes Will Calls to print on a separate printer than all other pick lists.

Do as directed in option 2, but also set this parameter to Y. Then only COD Will Call Pick Lists will print on the Will Call printer. All non-Will Calls and non-COD orders will printer on the Will Call printer.

Print weight per line item on pick list? This option causes the individual line item weights to appear on pick lists. The weight appears in the area previously reserved for the warehouse personnel to initial each line picked. There is still adequate room on the pick list for initials.
Allow override of freight from freight tables in receiving program Entering a Y in this field allows users who are authorized to access costs to override freight table costs in the Enter Receipts Program. This option applies to freight costs derived from Freight Cost Override Tables. When using standard freight costs, any user authorized to adjust cost can override costs. Entering N in this field disables the ability to override Freight Cost Table entries on the Enter Receipts Screen. If this option is set to N, the freight table must be updated in order to change freight costs in the Receiving Program.
Use the date receipts are posted as the receipt date (not date keyed) Entering a Y in this field causes the date of receipt to be the date a receipt is actually posted as opposed to the receipt date entered by the operator or inserted via an EDI transmission. Entering a Y in this field disables the ability of an operator to affect the receipt date. This option only affects the Enter Receipts Program. The Receipts/Immediate Posting Program allows you to override the receipt date because it is used for correcting previously entered receipts.
Process Transfers Immediately Instead Of Printing Via Menu or Timer

Allows the system to generate a transfer pick list/pick label as soon as the order is processed or as soon as a transfer line is added to an existing order. This feature can be enabled or disabled at the warehouse level, so that each warehouse can use its own preferred method of processing transfers.

When Auto Transfer options are turned on for specific warehouses, via option 14 on the System Settings menu, any table entries for the warehouse in which the Auto Transfer options are enabled should be removed. If all warehouses are switched to the new Auto Transfer functionality, then the use of the Automatic Timer Job Submission for Printing of Transfers, option 5 on page 2 of system Settings Menu, should be discontinued.

To establish a printer for the transfers, use the field Designated Transfers Printer ID in the Warehouse File.

This feature should not alter the circumstances or flow of order processing. Instead, depending on how your system is configured, this feature releases and prints transfers as a real-time step in the order processing routine. For example:

  • Transfers are automatically sent to the bar code label pool, giving warehouse personnel control over when to print them.
  • For warehouses that do not use the label pool, the pick labels prints immediately after they are processed by one of the above applications.
  • For warehouses using pick lists, a pick list containing only lines not previously printed, is immediately generated.

Note the special consideration for printing transfers when a change to an existing a line on an order is made. In this case, the following happens:

  • Warehouses configured to Pool Bar Code labels - Transfer labels for specific order lines that have not been printed are updated with new information. If the label has been printed and is no longer in the pool, a new label for that line is not added to the pool again. Instead, warehouse personnel must manually request that label, which continues to show D for Duplicate Label.
  • Warehouses Using Pick Labels but not the Label Pool - Warehouse personnel must manually request the label, which continues to show D for Duplicate Label.
  • Warehouses using the Traditional Pick Lists - Transfer pick list is not printed.
Allow location updates for order lines with Labor Items

This setting allows users to add locations for order lines with labor items. This allows you to identify where the order is in the fabrication process (what station etc.) not where physical inventory is located in the warehouse.

Updates to order lines with labor items do not impact inventory.
