Chapter 10: Engine Processing
1 Engine workfiles are requests for a transactions that the system creates when processing warehouse tasks, such as picking and put-away. You can use the engines to process engine workfiles in the Engine menu (4.7).
2 False. Engine workfiles are always in use, though, in QAD Warehousing, whether you choose not to process them with the engines.
3 False. Programs in the Engine menu let you process different time-consuming functions and decrease user waiting by running the processes in the background.
4 You can use the programs to delay the creation of warehouse transactions, select and modify engine workfiles, and process engine workfiles singularly or in batch mode.
5 You cannot create a wave with a workfile.
6 The storage area is blocked, but pallets require storage and labelling and this cannot happen until the area clears.
7 False. When in MANUAL mode, you must start one of the engine processor programs in the Engine menu to process an engine workfile request.
8 You can process engine workfiles by engine type, site, date, order, item, or transaction number.
9 False. You can process engine workfiles at a later time.
10 False. Once the engine completes processing, it deletes the engine workfiles if you set control options to delete the files.
