SPEC 5900 - New Trigger for Transfer Order Lines

Date Released: January 2019

Modules: IWMS

Description: This, behind the scenes, trigger changes the status of any auto transfer status code to a code 3, regardless of the program used to receive or place order line in an auto transfer status code. This functionality applies to any program that can change a line status code.

Reason for Change:This enhancement addressing the following concerns/functionality:

  • When pulling deliveries and the order lines were transfers, it was impossible to figure out if the lines had already been printed. They stay in the auto transfer code status, this created extra work.

  • Closes the hole that allows labels to be printed more than once and picked more than once.
  • In the outbound dock doors, the lines show open and not printed, which caused issues. Browser not properly identifying transferred lines for LTD business flow.
  • Allows the transferred email trigger receipt to be sent during the proper time and not before the material can be inspected.

Process:

  • A transfer line is scanned to a RECV location, and location settings break line off LPN.
  • The line is then scanned to a warehouse location; which is set to auto transfer.
  • Trigger updates any auto transfer status code to a = code and the IWMS browser functions correctly with transferred lines.
  • Auto transfer triggers receiving email to customer identified in the Hold and Back Order Fill Contact Table (SYS 921).
