Wave Selection Fields
Set the wave selection fields to specify criteria by which the system selects orders for your wave.
Wave Number
Enter a wave number to edit an existing wave or leave blank to let the system create a wave number for a new wave. If you enter a value, the system displays data for that wave.
Wave Status
The system displays the status of an existing wave or automatically assigns a status of NEW to a new waves. Wave status is managed and updated by the system during the wave life cycle. You can view wave status details using Wave Status Inquiry (4.15.4.3). Possible statuses are:
NEW: New wave
INCREPL: Incomplete replenishment
REPLEN: Replenishment
RGASSIGN: Release groups assigned orders
RGCREATE: Release groups created
RGACTIVE: Release groups active
CLOSED: Closed
Remark
Optionally enter any brief remarks about the wave (maximum 40 characters). These display in other wave functions such as Wave Replenishment, Wave Release, and Wave Close.
Site
Enter the name of the site to use for wave planning.
Warehouse
Enter the warehouse to use for wave planning.
Due Date and To
Enter a range of due dates for selecting orders to include in the wave. Enter two-digit months, days, and years. You can also enter the time of day, based on a 24-hour clock; for example, enter July 4, 2006, 1:00 PM as 07/04/06 13:00.
The default values for Due Date and To are calculated based on entries in the
Default From Due Date and Def To Due Date fields in Wave Planning Control (4.15.1.24).
Order Type
Enter the order type or range of order types as follows:
From SO To SO: Use sales order lines for this wave.
From DO To DO: Use distribution order lines for this wave.
From DO To SO: Use distribution orders and sales orders for this line.
Note: If you specify From SO To DO, the system cannot display the orders. The system searches for orders in alphabetical order and cannot find a sales order before a distribution order.
This field defaults from the same-named field in Wave Planning Control (4.15.1.24).
Order
Enter a range of specific order numbers if you want to include lines from those orders only.
Ship-To
Enter a range of ship-to codes for selecting orders to include in the wave.
Class
Enter a range of customer class codes for selecting orders to include in the wave.
Priority
Enter a range of priorities for the orders for selecting orders to include in the wave. You associate a priority with an order in Order Warehouse Data Maintenance (4.13.1).
Route
Enter a range of route codes if you want to include orders only from specific routes in the wave. You associate a route with an order in Order Warehouse Data Maintenance.
Carrier
Enter a range of carrier codes for selecting order lines for this wave. If you specified the carrier for order lines in warehouse order maintenance functions, the system selects lines that match. Otherwise, if you do not specify the line-level carrier, the system uses the carrier you specify at the order header level.
Profile
Enter a range of specific profiles to use when selecting orders for a wave. You define profiles in Address Whse Detail Maintenance (4.13.13). You can update the Profile in the wave selection screen by pressing P.
Reference
For customer scheduled orders, enter a range of references for selecting orders to include in the wave.
Def Max Order Lines
Enter a numeric value for the default maximum number of order lines to include in a single wave. This field defaults from the Maximum Order Lines field in Wave Planning Control (4.15.1.24). See
Maximum Order Lines.
Default Include
Indicate how to set the Inc field in the wave order display. This field defaults from the
Default Include field in Wave Planning Control.
No: Do not set the Inc field to Yes in the order display to automatically include the orders that match the defaults set in Wave Selection.
Yes: Set the Inc field to Yes in the order display to include all orders that match the defaults set in Wave Selection.
Use this field to streamline program execution if you typically include all selected orders when creating a wave.
Include Load Optimization
Indicate Yes to include load optimization for this wave. Refer to the Wave Selection procedural help for more information on load optimization.
No: Do not include orders that are marked for load optimization by a Transportation Management System (TMS).
Yes: The system displays the Load Selection frame that lets you include load orders in a wave. Select loads by a range of load numbers, arrival/departure dates, carrier, ship via, FOB point, MOT, vehicle ID or language. You can also specify whether to include full or less than full truck loads or parcel shipping.
QAD Warehousing sends shipping and other data for orders to the TMS. The TMS creates a load that sets up picking based on truck capacity, loading sequence, carrier costs, and other factors for improved picking, routes, loading, and billing. You can also create a load in Load Maintenance.
