Enter a number to define whether warehouse staff are allowed to modify the From Location aspect of inventory transactions, and, if so, what action is required. The options are as follows:

Enter a number to define whether warehouse staff are allowed to modify the From Item aspect of inventory transactions, and, if so, what action is required. The options are as follows:

Enter a number to define whether warehouse staff are allowed to modify the From Lot/Serial aspect of inventory transactions, and, if so, what action is required. The options are as follows:

Enter a number to define whether warehouse staff are allowed to modify the From Reference aspect of inventory transactions, and, if so, what action is required. The options are as follows:

Enter Yes if warehouse staff are allowed to increase the quantity when a transaction is confirmed; otherwise, enter No.

Enter Yes if warehouse staff are allowed to decrease the quantity when a transaction is confirmed; otherwise, enter No. This is normally set to Yes, unless your inventory management system can guarantee that sufficient inventory is always available in every possible circumstance.

Specify the action to take when the quantity is changed as controlled by the Allow Quantity Increase and Allow Quantity Decrease settings. The options are as follows:

Enter a number to define whether warehouse staff are allowed to modify the To Item aspect of inventory transactions, and, if so, what action is required. The options are as follows:

Enter a number to define whether warehouse staff are allowed to modify the To Lot/Serial aspect of inventory transactions, and, if so, what action is required. The options are as follows:

Enter a number to define whether warehouse staff are allowed to modify the To Reference aspect of inventory transactions, and, if so, what action is required. The options are as follows:

An example of a reference change is to facilitate backflushing. When backflushing is used, either in repetitive production or discrete production (work orders), it is easier to issue inventory if it is as standard as possible: no lot/serial (when possible), and no pallet number (reference). Using option 1 that blanks the reference lets you do that.

Another example is used for multi-bin pickup. When processing a multi-bin pickup movement, it is possible to assign a new pallet number to all items picked during the process. Option 12 that generates a new reference with a possible reprompt is the option to use in that case.

Specify the action to be performed regarding any change to the Alternate Unit of Measure field during the transfer of any inventory moved by this sequence in an internal routing. The options are as follows:

This field is used to specify for a work location group whether warehouse staff are allowed to switch to a different task. The setting of this field is important whenever any of the task confirmation fields has been set to allow a different value—for example, of a reference or lot/serial number, from that which was expected. You must indicate whether a user who enters a different reference is changing the value for the current task or switching to another task. In Warehouse Maintenance, you set the default for each work location group in the warehouse.

No: Prevent task switching. When a user enters a different value, the system assumes that the value is being changed for the current task.

Yes: Allow task switching. When a user enters a different value such as a reference, the system checks to see whether another task exists with the reference.

When a task is hard assigned, it cannot be switched with another task.

When this field is Yes and staff are confirming a transaction in batch picking, once the user has selected the From inventory, if the scanned data does not match that of the original transaction, the system will try to execute a task switch. Task switching in batch picking is restricted to tasks that belong to the same transaction’s batch.

If it were not possible to switch the task, the system might attempt to execute a lot/serial and reference switch if the Allow Switch Lot Ref flag is activated. There is no restriction to lot/serial and reference switch in batch picking.
