2.1. General Settings tab
On the company level general settings can be specified that apply to the entire Produmex WMS add-On.
Language
This includes the standard language (the language that is used by default on the thin clients, unless specified otherwise at the individual user level (cfr. Administration → Users).
Company Logo URL
A reference to the company logo can be added to the field. The path points to a shared folder which contains the company logo used on the login page of the Mobile Client.
DB credentials
The standard connection to the SAP Business One database (username / password). It needs to be set for reporting purposes.
Logistic carriers
It is also possible to define whether logistic carriers (pallets, containers, …) are stored at one location per warehouse (where they are stored after emptying) and what the standard quality status for logistic carriers is.
- Store logistic carriers on 1 storage location by warehouse
When this option is enabled, logistic carriers are stored at one location per warehouse. Set the default storage location for logistic carriers on the Warehouse level.
This setting should be enabled in order to use logistic carriers properly. - Move all logistic carriers on reception
When this option is enabled, logistic carriers are automatically moved to the default storage location of the logistic carriers after the reception.
This setting is only active if the ‘Store logistic carriers on 1 storage location by warehouse’ option is enabled. - Quality status for logistic carriers
Select the standard quality status for logistic carriers from the dropdown menu.
Transport services
These global settings can be overruled on the SAP Shipping types.
- Select Driver When Loading
If the setting is enabled, the name of the driver must be specified or selected when loading. - Select License Plate When Loading
If the setting is enabled, the license plate of the transport vehicle must be recorded. - Select Trailer Number When Loading
If the setting is enabled, the trailer number of the transport vehicle must be recorded.
Goods receipt requires suppl. ref
If the setting is enabled, the operator is asked to enter a supplier reference number during the goods reception process.
- The setting applies to the Reception Flow and Bulk Reception Flow.
- During the flows the system displays a separate Supplier Ref. screen after selecting a supplier and it is mandatory to enter the supplier reference number.
- With the end of the flow the reference number is added to the Vendor Ref. No. field of the created Goods receipt PO document.
Goods receipt automatically prints item labels
If the setting is enabled, the goods receipt on scanner automatically prints item labels. The number of labels printed, is the received number of items. Otherwise the user is asked if printing is needed.
Use inventory returnable items on documents
If the setting is enabled, the returnable item added to the document will be the inventory item.
Note: Depending on the Use Perpetual Inventory setting of the Company Details window of SAP Business One, returnable items work differently in Produmex WMS.
- If the setting is enabled, it is possible to add non-inventory items to the documents based on the Use inventory returnable items on documents setting.
- If the setting is disabled, then inventory returnable items are added to the documents regardless of Use inventory returnable items on documents setting.
Set vat group returnable items on documents
If the setting is enabled, the VAT group of the returnable item will be set when added to the document. For purchase this will be OITM.VatGroupPu and for sales this will be OITM.VatGourpSa.
Check to add returnable items
If the setting is enabled, the system will try to add returnable items when booking a document. To avoid this check this can be unticked.
Disable item selection in flows
If the setting is enabled, it will not be possible to select an item on scanner/touchscreen. The user will always have to scan a barcode to identify the item.
Pick list proposal allowed to exceed order
If the setting is enabled, it is possible to adjust the quantity of the proposal, so it exceeds the ordered quantity.
Do not lock stock on picking (picklists can be created even if no stock is available)
When proposals are made, stock is locked. If the setting is enabled, the system does not lock stock when creating the proposal. This means that there is no more check of available quantity, so proposals can be made, even if there is not enough quantity.
Note:
- Picking can only happen through the Ad Hoc Picking Flow.
- This option does not apply to picklists for production. These picklists will have locking.
- If the Do not lock stock on picking setting is enabled, make sure that you disable the Make Picklist ready before print? setting on the picklist controller.
Allow overpicking
If the setting is enabled, you can pick more items than specified in the sales order/picklist. This can be done for convenience purposes, e.g. if an order for 14 items is received and the packaging unit for that item is a box of 15 items. In such a case, picking a whole box may be more convenient than opening the box and taking one item out.
This option is available for Picking, Zone picking, Multi picking and Ad hoc picking tasks Route and Pick List.
Overpicking is not allowed when picking an alternate stock.
Allow overpicking (Customer collect)
If this setting is enabled, the operator will be able to pick more items than specified in the sales order/pick list in the Ad hoc picking – Customer collect flow.
Count colli after picking
As a further check to ensure the correctness of deliveries, it can be specified that the operator has to count and enter the number of colli that were picked and put onto a logistic unit (SSCC), which the operator wishes to finish. The system will then verify whether this number is the same as the number of colli it has recorded during the picking process onto this logistic unit (SSCC). The count is done in the inventory UoM.
When this is ticked, it can be configured how many times the user can enter an incorrect count.
When this maximum is reached, the picked SSCC is considered unpicked, and a new picklist is created for these items, forcing the user to pick again.
Embed .NET forms in SBO forms
If the setting is enabled, all forms run within SAP.
But in some cases it is useful if some screens are not embedded in SAP. In that case it is possible when you have 2 monitors to move certain screens outside of SAP on another monitor.
This can be done by unchecking this checkbox.
Some screens will be shown in the Windows taskbar, and will be outside of SAP.
Supported screens:
- Organizational structure
- Route planning
- Production manager
- Cycle count – Select location
- Cycle count – Process
Usability Improvement Program
The Usability Improvement Program (UIP) aims to give all Boyum IT customers the ability to contribute to the design and development of Boyum IT products.
By default, the setting is enabled and the add-on automatically sends information to Boyum IT about how the product is used. The information is used to improve the related features.
The gathered data sent to Boyum IT can be:
- feedback: generic information (e.g. SAP version, resolution) and add-on specific information (e.g. number of configurations)
- error
UIP does not send any business data, confidential information or user / customer information. For more information about UIP click here.
If the setting is enabled, an additional Usability Improvement Program tab is displayed in the Organizational Structure window with the following settings:
- Scheduled time to send data: the exact time of the day when information is sent
- Send errors only: If the setting is enabled, only errors are sent to Boyum IT.
Auto-Select Company
If the setting is enabled, the Company element is automatically selected when the Organizational Structure is opened.
Auto-Extend Company
If the setting is enabled, the Company subtree is automatically expanded to the highest level, which is usually the warehouse level, when the Organizational Structure is opened.
