Assign Algorithms to Transactions
The eighth step is to link a specified sequence of algorithms to each transaction type that is used in your internal routings. A range of standard algorithms is supplied, but you can customize these, or add new algorithms, if required.
1 Use Algorithm Type Maintenance (4.6.1) to modify the verbosity level for reporting purposes of any of the existing algorithm types. This step is optional.
2 Use Algorithm Master Maintenance (4.6.5) to modify the descriptions of existing individual algorithms within each of the algorithm type categories, or to add new algorithms to any of the categories.
3 Use Algorithm Assignment Maintenance (4.6.9) to link a specified sequence of algorithms to each transaction type or combination of transaction type, site, warehouse, item, and address. This step is required to define what algorithms run when processing your inventory transactions.
4 Define Transaction Processing
The ninth step is to define the processing fields associated with each of the transaction types you are using in your internal routings. Again, in practice, you may want to set up these details before you define warehouses. However, because the main transaction types are supplied with the system and because they take default values from the basic warehouse fields, you may not need to make many alterations to the supplied transaction type fields.
1 Use Transaction Type Maintenance (4.7.1) to modify the processing fields for any of the existing transaction types, or to add new transaction types.
2 Use Warehouse Transaction Type Maintenance (4.7.5) to modify the processing fields for any of the existing transaction types, in relation to their operation within a specified warehouse. This step is optional. Refer to
Using QAD Warehousing.
When you have completed these setup steps, your system is ready for use.
