2.11. Reasons tab
Define the reasons that can be used in Produmex WMS flows on the Reasons tab. A reason might be required to perform certain actions or to explain why a specific action cannot be completed or a specific item cannot be used.
Add the code, name and sequence number of the reason. The sequence number defines the order the reason is shown on the terminals.
Then specify when the reason can be used by checking the corresponding checkbox.
If extra explanation is needed, check the ‘Requires extra reason text’ checkbox as well.
2.12. Connection between Reason & Location suggestion
For more information about location settings follow this link to the Location controller site.
When the location suggestion is enabled, the system will suggest a location for the stock that is being moved in the following flows:
- Reception (In case of receiving on location instead of dock)
- Put away
- Ad hoc moves
- Move orders
- Unpicking for production
- Undo picking
- Consolidated moves
When a destination location needs to be entered these flows will perform the following scenario:
Check if location suggestions are enabled
Enabled:
- Get list of suggested locations
- Show first suggested location on the screen
- Enter a location or select a location
- The list of suggested locations is displayed on the screen after the ‘Select location’ button is pressed
- When the location is not the first suggested location or an empty location:
- Enter a reason
Not enabled:
- Enter a location or select a location
- All valid locations are allowed
Example - Ad Hoc Movement with default location and location suggestion
Let's see a simple example for an Ad Hoc Movement and how to configurate the settings in Item Master Data for in Item that has to be asked for a reason to move to a Zone or out of the the Zone.
1. Make sure you enabled the “Use Location Suggestion?” option in your selected Warehouse where the preferred Zone is located for the Ad Hoc Movement. In this case I will use the GeneralWarehouse (01).
2. As a next step configurate the chosen Bin under the preferred Zone.
GeneralWarehouse (01) → Zone for logisticWh01 → B.0009
3. Select and configurate the default location on Item Master Data → Produmex → Inventory tab for your chosen Item.
4. Open the Mobile Client to process the Ad Hoc Movement.
Logistics → Move → Ad Hoc Movement → Local Move → Full Logistic Unit
Now “Scan an SSCC”, in the example the Item's SSCC is “00000000000000000314”.
Clicking on the forward button, as expected the default location is suggested on the bottom of the Mobile Client as we configurated.
5. If you are selecting a Bin that is NOT the suggested location, the system will ask for a reason.Select and write your reason ant the Ad Hoc Movement will be done.
