Miscellaneous Options

The fields in the Miscellaneous Options frame affect the operation of this sequence step in the internal routing.

Specify how processes defined by the routing are initiated. The initial value defaults from Warehouse Maintenance, but you can change the value for individual sequence steps of your internal routings.


AUTO	The process in the routing sequence is started automatically as soon as the previous process is complete.
MANUAL	The process is only started when it is manually selected for processing.

This field is used to specify the new unit of measure to be used for items upon reaching this step in the internal routing sequence, only if option 6 has been selected for the Alternate UM option.

Example: You can split a pallet into boxes on arrival at a particular area of your storage. As it is unlikely that all your items use the same UM, you would normally use this field in assignments that specify a particular item number or item type.

Enter the existing new unit of measure.

See Alternate Unit of Measure Maintenance.

Use Alternate Unit of Measure Maintenance (4.5.1) to define units of measure and to specify the action that must be taken when changing an item’s UM.

See Alternate Unit of Measure Maintenance.

Enter Yes to cause the shortage clearance algorithms to be run before a location is identified to receive the inventory. These algorithms look for orders that were not fully satisfied in the original picking because of insufficient inventory levels. Enter No if you do not want the shortage clearance algorithms to be run.

Enter Yes to create standard shippers. You can then use standard shipping functions to consolidate and print these shippers as shippers, containers, or bills of lading. Standard shipping functions can also be used for bulk shipment of, for example, multiple sales orders that have been combined onto a single shipper. Enter No if you do not want to create shippers.

Note: QAD Warehousing and RF shipper functionality do not support QAD Enterprise Edition core shipper validation functionality.

Entering Yes causes the Inspection (QA) algorithm to be run to determine whether inspection must take place. See Quality Inspection Internal Routings.
