Setting Up Labor for Users

You can use the programs in the Labor Management Users Menu (4.11.3) to add warehouse data to user and user groups within a warehouse.

Note: These groups are not the same as user roles used throughout the system.

Use User Warehouse Data Maintenance (4.11.3.1) to define tasks that are best suited for warehouse staff. You can also define the calendar for each user.

Complete the User Warehouse Data Maintenance fields as follows:

Indicate the ID of the warehouse staff. An entry should be made for each warehouse staff.

Note: This must be a valid user defined in User Maintenance (36.3.1).

Enter a brief description (maximum 24 characters) of the associated user. Typically, description is related to labor management.

Indicate the calendar for this user. You define calendars in Warehouse Calendar Maintenance (4.11.3.9).

Enter the maximum number of full pallets this user handles simultaneously in the warehouse. For example, if you specify 3, the user can move three pallets at the same time with his forklift or other equipment.

Indicate whether this user scans lot/serial numbers while completing tasks in the warehouse.

No (the default): The user does not scan lot/serial numbers.

Yes: The user scans lot/serial numbers and the lot/serial field displays on the RF device.

Indicate whether this user scans the destination reference when performing tasks in the warehouse.

Indicate how the system sorts orders for this user:

1 (the default): The system sorts lines by line number.

2: The system sorts lines by item number.

3: The system sorts lines by quantity number.

Specify a location within the warehouse that this is typically used when this user moves items. You can specify any valid location that you define within QAD Warehousing, such as a storage location, warehouse location, or a warehouse.
