Indicate whether the system is active. Set this to Yes when you want to implement the warehousing system. If this field is No, none of the warehouse functions operate, and the system uses all the standard functions.

Enter the ASCII character to use as the delimiter between fields. This is relevant when data is downloaded to another system; for example, for producing pallet labels. The default is the tilde character (~), but you can enter another delimiter, if required.

Indicate whether the system should keep a permanent history of inventory master records. These relate to movements of inventory with a sizing type of R (reference), where the reference unit of measure is, for example, a pallet. The system creates an inventory master record when the reference stock is received, and this record is moved when the stock is moved, along with the inventory detail records. When the inventory is shipped or broken down into inventory other than sizing type R, the inventory master record is deleted if you set Inventory History to No, or permanently retained if you set it to Yes. Using inventory history lets you perform pallet tracking audits.

Indicate how you want the system to enforce unique pallet reference numbers. Valid entries are:

Blank—References are unique throughout the system.

S—References are unique within each site.

W—References are unique within each warehouse.

L—References are unique within each location.

B—References are unique within each batch/lot/serial.

The L and B options effectively tell the system that the references are not actually unique, but prevent duplicate references being used in the same location or batch.

This field determines how many messages the system captures to be displayed on the Verbosity Report (4.23.12.3). You can set a value in the range 0 to 999 depending on the amount of message detail you want include, for example, for use when solving problems.

This field sets the default for the reason for generating a cycle count, which you can enter in Cycle Count Generation (4.8.12). You can override the default as required when generating a cycle count.
