Warehouse Setup

The Warehouse Setup is the core Setup table of the Warehouse Module. Below are the fields explained which are important to mention.

Post in the future allowed

Provides the possibility to post Documents in the future. So for example you can post a shipment on Friday with as 'posting date' the date of monday. Not recommended to use this way of working.

Weight Validation

Specifies the validation priority when entering net, gross and tarra weight. Auto: Adjust tarra weight if both gross and net weight are filled. Tarra: Retain tarra weight if possible.

Use Receipt Handling Unit No.

Highly recommended to enable this setting. If enabled, the Handling Unit No from the Receipt will be stored as the Source Handling Unit No., so that Orderpick Content can be linked to the correct Handling Unit. If you already have an running environment don't change this field without testing your processes in an test environment. Only new received inventory will have the field Source Handling Unit No populated.

Apply Handling Unit Status Filter

Specifies whether Handling Units in a blocked status are left out when Handling Units are selected for a document. You find the field on the General tab, group Other, directly under Apply Batch Status Filter.

Note

The caption of this field is Apply Carrier Status Filter; Carrier is the older name for Handling Unit (see WMS Carrier renamed).

Possible values:

  • Yes (default): a Handling Unit is not offered for selection when its status has the blocking flag that applies to the document. A status is defined on the Status Template of the Handling Unit:
    • Inventory Blocked excludes the Handling Unit on every document type;
    • Shipment Blocked additionally excludes it on shipment documents;
    • VAL Order Blocked additionally excludes it on VAL orders.
  • No: Handling Units are offered regardless of their status, as before this setting existed.

The filter is applied both when the system selects Handling Units automatically (for example during Allocation) and when a user selects them manually with the Select Carriers and Select Carriers (Use Batch Content Info) actions on the document header and document lines of shipments, receipts, transfers, sales orders, customer transfers, free circulation documents and VAL process lines. The action Select All Carriers on transfer and physical inventory documents does not use this filter.

Note

After the upgrade that introduces this field it is Yes in every company, so Handling Units in a blocked status are no longer offered from that moment on. Set it to No if you want to keep offering them.

The field Apply Batch Status Filter above it does the same for batches: when set to Yes, batches whose status is blocked for inventory or, depending on the document type, blocked for shipment or VAL are filtered out automatically.

Allow Over Delivery On Purchase Order

Specifies whether a quantity received on top of the quantity announced on the linked purchase order lines may be assigned to the purchase order. You find the field on the Posting Settings tab, group Receipt.

When a receipt line is linked to more than one purchase order line (for example after consolidating purchase order lines or on a grouped receipt), the posted quantity is distributed over the linked purchase order lines in order, each line up to its own quantity. This setting decides what happens with the surplus:

  • Yes: the surplus is assigned to the last linked purchase order line, whose outstanding quantity becomes negative.
  • No: the surplus is not assigned to any purchase order line, as before.

See Over-delivery on linked purchase orders for an example.
