    • Import/export setup: These actions allow you to export the settings made in the SIEVERS WMS setup in full and save them separately. These functions are particularly useful for reproducing test environments.
    • Update Consolidation No.: When updating to a newer version of SIEVERS WMS, it may be necessary to set consolidation numbers in the warehouse shipments that already have a picking document. Please contact our team before pressing this button.
    • Update SBD Defaults: Transfers the content of the Default Residual Term field to the items
    • Archive Empty Load Carriers: Archives empty or already delivered Load Carriers. This function is available after the Archive delivered Load Carriers option has been activated.
    • Archive Finished Shipping Orders: Transfers finished shipping orders to archived shipping orders

General

  • Reservation method: A method for determining the items to be removed from storage can be specified here. The following three methods are available for selection:
    • Inbound Stock Post Date: This method describes the FIFO principle. (First In - First Out)
    • Production Date: With this method, the items to be removed from storage are determined on the basis of the earliest production date, which is noted in the Inbound Stock Post document line at the time of Inbound Stock Post.
    • Sell by Date: This method is used for the storage of foodstuffs. The item that reaches the sell-by date first is determined for Outbound Stock Post.
  • Quality Control: If this option is active, the quality status in the field of the same name on the Inbound Stock Posts page must be set to Depot or Block Stock.
  • No missing quantity info per line: If this field is activated, no per-line shortage messages are displayed when manually creating an outbound stock document. If the field is deactivated, the user receives an individual message for each line of the source document that could not be fully reserved in the stock document.
  • Time to Create Stockdocument: A period can be specified here (e.g. 3D = 3 days) in which the warehouse shipment date of the order must lie for the automatic warehouse document creation to take effect.
  • Correction Transf. Qua. to Ship.:
  • Sync. Weight in Pack. Hierarchy Entries: Activating this option means that if the gross or net weight of the smallest storage unit in the packaging hierarchy changes, the other entries can be adjusted automatically. Before the change, there is a confirmation prompt. For example, the formula ‘number of pieces of stock ÷ number of pieces of smallest storage unit * gross weight of smallest storage unit = new gross weight of stock’ applies. This formula also applies to the other lines and the net weights. For the smallest storage unit, the following applies: ‘Gross weight of inventory ÷ number of pieces of inventory = new gross weight of smallest storage unit’. This also applies to the net weight.
  • Deactivate GTIN sync. with item references: Normally, the GTIN field in the item card and the barcode entry in the item references of an item are synchronized with each other. You can use this option field to disable this behavior.
  • Transfer Order Update Shipment Quantity: If this option is active, the quantity to be delivered in the source document of the stock transfer order is adjusted to the quantity in the stock document.
  • Set Item Track. from Stock Document: This option ensures that the specific item tracking, for example the serial or lot no. or the sell-by date, is automatically transferred from this stock document to the source document when a stock document is completed. The purpose behind this is to synchronize the SIEVERS WMS stock document and the source document from Dynamics 365 Business Central. If this option is not activated, item tracking numbers must be entered manually in the source document.
  • Action Reserv. Inventory in Stocktaking: Reserved inventory cannot be transferred to a stocktaking. Use this field to specify what should happen if an attempt is made to do so. This setup applies to the following functions: Enter Inventories by Item, Enter Inventories by Storage Place and Stocktaking for Selection.
  • Automatic Finish Message Stock Documents: This indicator specifies whether Assembly Headers cause the warehouse documents "Inbound Stock Post for the finished part" and " Outbound Stock Post for the components" to be completed automatically when they are posted.
  • Allow correction posting without WMS: This option allows the posting of one-sided quantity corrections. This function is only used by the SIEVERS GROUP if there is an error that cannot be corrected in any other way! When this function is activated, corresponding log entries are created. Please do not use this function without prior consultation! After activating this function, the button Set without LVS posting will be visible in the item journal.
  • Direct Print: With direct print, all printouts are sent to the printer immediately. The printout is no longer processed by the job queue. This can fix problems with the print order.

  • Inbound Stock Post Order Update Shipment Quantity
  • Outbound Stock Post Order Update Shipment Quantity
  • Enter Inbound Stock Post/Outbound Stock Post/Stocktaking/Transfer/Assembly Charges automatically: If this option is activated, resources are automatically entered during document posting based on the resources stored for the items. In the case of stocktaking, the expenses are automatically entered in the service order warehouse. This applies to full and partial deliveries. There are the same setup fields on the customer and in the documents (Inbound Stock Post order, Outbound Stock Post order, stocktaking, assembly order, stock transfer order). These overwrite the settings made here. Please note that if these settings are activated, the corresponding codes must also be stored in the items concerned.

Load Carrier

  • Archive delivered Load Carriers: After activating this option, Load Carriers with status 9 + warehouse shipment number and the associated picking documents, packaging and loading processes with status 9 + warehouse shipment number are archived. If you want to restore an archived Load Carrier, you can do this using the Restore Load Carrier function in the posted Load Carrier card. Archived Load Carriers are displayed together in the Packing list export data. It is recommended to perform the Archive Empty Load Carriers action after activating this option.
  • Delete Empty Trans Load Carriers: If this option is active, transport Load Carriers are deleted as soon as they are empty.
  • Remove SP from Empty Trans/Load Carrier: Activation means that the assignment to the last storage place is automatically removed after a reusable Load Carrier has been emptied.
  • Load Carrier/Transport Load Carrier/New Load Carrier/New Transport Load Carrier Caption: Defines how the respective field is to be named in the system
  • Default Storage Place for Reusable LC: Defines the storage place to which reusable load carriers are automatically posted after the warehouse shipment posting. After resetting, the load carriers are available at this storage place for new warehouse processes.
  • Determination of Load Carrier Weight
    • Determination according to item gross weight * quantity
    • Determination according to item net * quantity + inventory measure weight
    • Without determination: weight input by weighing only
  • Default Inventory Measure Code: This Inventory Measure Code will be used as default suggestion for items which have no Packaging Hierarchy. Also serves as a default for Load Carrier inventory measure codes for newly created PTUs in the picking process and newly created SSCCs in the packaging.
  • Drop All Load Carrier - Feature: Specifies the number of load carriers that must be on the forklift for the totals line to be displayed in SNC Mobile form A2. This line can be clicked to drop all load carriers simultaneously. A value of 0 disables the totals line completely.
  • Put down load carrier without user confirmation: When the user puts down a load carrier in A2 they normally need to confirm the put down, even if it is just one. If this flag is activated, a forklift driver does not have to confirm the allocation of a load carrier again. This only happens if the forklift driver has picked up just ONE load carrier. If several load carriers have been collected in A2, the confirmation window will still appear.
  • Keep Load Carrier Numbers by Transfer: This checkbox is relevant for the warehouse receipt in a transfer. If it is activated, the original Load Carrier number from the other location is adopted and no new Load Carrier is created. In addition, the Load Carrier properties (inventory measure, dimensions, weight) are also transferred.
  • Load carrier type PTU retained during conversion: If a full pallet is picked, the SU can be converted directly into an SSCC when doing the picking response by entering all attributes (inventory measure, dimensions, weight). This eliminates the process of converting from SU to PTU and then from PTU to SSCC. If this is not desired, it can be prevented by activating this indicator.
  • Inventory swap in a load carrier: This setting enables the swap of inventory within a load carrier. Regardless of whether lot no. or serial numbers are used. Regardless of whether inventory swap is allowed or not allowed in the storage location categories. If a lot no. or serial number is specified in the source document, no exchange is allowed, even if inventory exchange is allowed in this setting, unless it is the same lot. On the MDE, you can see from the instruction field in A4.3 whether inventory exchange is possible. Either a specific inventory or “Scan Inv” is shown here. In the latter case, an inventory exchange is possible. For document-based picking, you can use the function in the picking document lines. If this field is empty or the inventory swap is not allowed, A3.2 is filtered to the specific inventory item for replenishment move jobs. Please note: If this setting is activated, the inventory number is not printed on the picking document. This setup field exists on several pages of the system. The following order of the list is the priority in which a setting applies. Priority 1 overrides all other settings.
    1. Stockkeeping unit data
    2. Item card
    3. Item category
    4. SIEVERS WMS Setup
  • Validation Inventory No. in Picking: Forces the picker to validate the inventory no. by extra scan if there is more than one inventory in a load carrier
  • Show GS1-SSCC: If this flag is active, the last 9 digits of the barcode reference type GS1-SSCC will be displayed instead of the 9-digit load carrier code. If the GS1 SSCC is not filled, the load carrier code is still displayed as a fallback. This option applies to MDE pages A7.1, A7.2 and A7.3.
  • Merge Inventories with same Characteristics: If this setting is activated, the system checks when posting to an existing load carrier whether an inventory with the same item (No., Variant, Lot, Sell-by Date) already exists. If so, the quantity is posted to this inventory instead of creating a new one. Merging only occurs for inbound stock posts and move job postings, and only when the target load carrier has the load carrier type SU or no target load carrier is set. This setting can be controlled at multiple levels in the system; the following order determines which setting applies (priority 1 overrides all others):
    1. Item card
    2. Item category
    3. SIEVERS WMS Setup

Warehouse Receipt

Warehouse Receipt General

  • Correction Purcha Qua. to Ship: If this option is active, the quantity received in the source document of the purchase order/Inbound Stock Post order is adjusted if the quantity in the Inbound Stock Post document is different.
  • Create Whs Sip/stock document during order assignment in whse receipt: This setting controls whether a warehouse shipment and a Outbound Stock Post should be automatically created in the warehouse receipt after order assignment. If the setting is deactivated, no PTU and SSCC are produced in the warehouse receipt, but SU are created instead. If it is activated, a Outbound Stock Post matching the warehouse shipment is created. The Outbound Stock Post lines are fully processed in the system, including picking and packaging, so that the warehouse shipment can be posted directly. This setting enables a direct transfer of packages from a warehouse receipt to an assigned warehouse shipment and ensures consistent processes for order assignment.
  • Not show Inbound Stock Post Whse. After Create Stock Document: Causes no Inbound Stock Post form to be shown when creating a warehouse receipt
  • Warehouse Receipt Delete Source on Splitting: When a warehouse receipt (WHS Receipt) is posted, the open quantities should be deleted from the WHS Receipt. This means that a new WHS Receipt can be created for the remaining quantities in the event of a new inbound delivery. 1 WHS Receipt = 1 inbound transport. 2 WHS Receipt = 2 inbound transports.
  • Completion Warehouse Receipt: Specifies how the warehouse receipt can be completed.
    • after commercial check: It is sufficient to release the warehouse receipt in the warehouse receipt mask in Business Central
    • after physical check: The warehouse receipt can only be released after confirmation by an MDE device on the MDE device

    • Warning: Issues a warning
    • Refuse: Rejects the item in principle
    • Without Notification: Sell-by date exceeded is ignored
  • Use Item Pack Hierarchy for Lot No.: Normally, a load carrier is created for each lot. This setting causes this principle to be ignored and the packaging hierarchy of the items within a lot to be taken into account when the lot is deposited.
  • Reaction Lot: Specifies what should happen if lot information is missing
    • Warning: Issues a warning
    • Refuse: Rejects the item in principle
    • Without Notification: Missing lot information is ignored
  • Printing Options for Inventory Label: Determines whether and when an inventory label should be printed.
    • 0 - No inventory label is ever printed in warehouse receipt and for Inbound Stock Posts based on output journals
    • 1 - An inventory label is always printed for each inventory item in the warehouse receipt and for Inbound Stock Posts based on output journals, even if a label is already printed for the storage unit or the load carrier. The printing of Inbound Stock Posts based on output journals depends on the setting Auto Print LC on Output in the production section.
    • 2 - An inventory label is only printed if there is more than one inventory on a load carrier.
  • Whse. Receipt Subpage Lines: Determines which subpages should be displayed on the Warehouse Receipt page.
    • Load Carrier Lines: Enables the allocation of items to load carriers

  • Warehouse Receipt Status Released MDE after Unloading: Causes the warehouse receipt to be set directly to 2-Released Mobile Device on mobile pages A1.0 and B4.0 as soon as it is created. If the setup is not active, the warehouse receipt remains at status 1-Recorded. This setup streamlines the workflow, particularly in warehouse receipt teams without division of labor.

Warehouse Shipment

  • Correction Sale Qua. to Ship: If this option is active, the quantity to be shipped in the source document of the order/Outbound Stock Post order is adjusted if the quantity in the Outbound Stock Post order is different.
  • Delete Picking Release Automation Protocol after: Specifies if the picking release protocol data will be deleted after this date. Date Expression has to be entered. Reference date is always current system date. For example, if all entries created 10 days before current date should be deleted, "-10D" has to be entered.
  • Delete Picking Team Determ. Protocol after: Specifies whether and when entries in the picking team determination protocol should be removed. A date formula must be entered. The current date is used as the basis for calculation. For example, if all entries created 10 days before today's date are to be deleted, “-10T” must be entered.
  • Mark Inventories as completely reserved by Outbound Stock Posts: By activating this option, inventories are marked as fully reserved in the event of a complete Outbound Stock Post. As a result, they can no longer be found during an inventory selection. We recommend only activating this function if you have a high number of inventories in stock with a very low number of pieces. Otherwise there could be severe performance losses.
  • Not Show Outbound Stock Post Whse. After Create Stock Outbound Stock Post: Causes the Outbound Stock Post page not to be opened automatically after creation.
  • Use Whse. Automation by Release Sales Document: Activates automatic warehouse shipment. A warehouse shipment is automatically generated when an outgoing document is released. Please read the corresponding section
  • Add to Warehouse Shipment from Source: Allows the user to continue adding lines to the source document after the warehouse shipment has been created and to add these new lines to the existing warehouse shipment with the regular Create Warehouse Shipment. This also works for automatically created warehouse shipments. In the next field, define the number of days before the loading date up to which lines may be added.
  • #Days before Load. Date add to Whse. Ship.: Defines how many working days before the first loading day new lines may be added to an existing warehouse shipment. You can also enter a 0 or a negative number here. This means that lines can still be added to the warehouse shipment on the loading date. Please note that this setting is only used for manual warehouse shipments and is irrelevant to Whse. Ship. Automation.
  • Set Loading Date to workdate when in past: Causes a loading date in the past to be set to the current date.
  • Consolidation by Shipping Address allowed: Allows the By Shipping Address indicator to be set in the source document table of Warehouse Shipment Planning. This indicator allows this order to be picked and packed with other fitting orders.
  • Activate Ship & Invoice: When activated, executing Post Warehouse Shipment or Post & Print Warehouse Shipment in the warehouse shipment card and in the warehouse shipment planning will display a prompt asking whether to ship only or to ship and invoice simultaneously. Disabled by default.
  • Allow picking creation by consolidation no.: If this option is activated, cross-order picking can be summarized by consolidation number and picking team.
  • Picks cumulated per load carrier and item: If this setup is activated, the quantities of the picking items in A4.2 are shown summarized by load carrier and item. If the setup is not active, they are shown by inventory number.
  • Negative Picking Threshold: Defines the percentage value at which negative picking is suggested. If the demand quantity reaches or exceeds this percentage of the available inventory, a corresponding symbol is displayed in A4.2. 100% = Negative picking not possible.
  • Pick. Optimization w. Inv. blocked: When an inventory is blocked in mobile picking (A4.3) by entering the quantity 0, the stock Outbound Stock Post lines containing the current item in the current Load Carrier will be cancelled and immediately released afterwards to trigger the inventory determination strategy in order to find an alternative inventory. This is a more optimal option for the workflow than the regular inventory swap, which is used when this option is not enabled, as it does not require any active action on the part of the employee.
  • Proposal of the unloading point: When this indicator is activated, orders with the same delivery address are assigned the same unloading place. This basically ensures that orders with different addresses are not inadvertently packed together and reduces the manual maintenance effort.
  • Automatically Archive Picking Series: Causes picking series to be archived automatically as soon as the last item has been posted.
  • Show Item Pictures in Picking: Specifies whether item pictures from the item card are displayed in the picking processing form (A4.3). If enabled, the item image is shown instead of the quantity label. Clicking the image opens an enlarged view that can be closed with ESC. If no image is stored, the area remains empty.
  • Disable autom. Serial Distribution Creation: Activating this option causes series distributions to no longer be created automatically as soon as a picking series is completed or the first load carrier has been put down at the packaging station via the MDE.
  • Disable autom. SSCC label print in Series Distribution: When enabled, SSCC labels in series distribution are not automatically printed as soon as a PTU/SSCC reaches status 7-Packed. Printing must then be triggered manually via the corresponding action.
  • Allow manual item selection in series distribution: Enables manual item selection by clicking in the series distribution, without the item having to be validated by scanning the GTIN, item number or inventory no. After clicking on a line, the fields are automatically filled and the user can directly edit the quantity. Attention: This setup should only be activated in warehouses where picking series are formed exclusively with single items and no inventory characteristics need to be considered. With mixed-item series, there is a high risk of picking errors.
  • Allow manual document selection in series distribution: In the series distribution, the current order of the just scanned item is normally selected automatically. If the distributor should have freedom of choice in the selection, you can activate this option.
  • Default Inventory Measure Serial Distribution: Defines a default inventory measure that is automatically used during serial distribution when new load carriers are created (by scanning a blanco barcode or via "Create Container"). Only inventory measures with the flag "Use as Shipping Unit = True" can be selected. If the field remains empty, no default is set.
  • Shipping Advice Rules: Defines what should happen with specific shipping advices. See Shipping Advices Rules

    • Never post: Does not post the warehouse shipment after Loading checked. The warehouse shipment must be posted manually
  • Min Item Qty. SSCC Pack. Cont: Use this field to determine the number of items in an SSCC that triggers automatic printing of a package content list.
  • Printing Options for SSCC Packaging Content List: Specifies how much information the package content list should have.
    • 0 = Lines without information on the sub-packaging
    • 1 = The PTU no. is shown for the line
  • Printing Options for Shipment List: Specifies how much information the shipment list should have.
    • 0 = Lines without information on the sub-packaging
    • 1 = The PTU no. is shown for the line
  • Printing Options for Packlist Exportdata: Specifies how much information the packlist exportdata should have.
    • 0 = Lines without information on the sub-packaging
    • 1 = The PTU no. is shown for the line
  • Whse. Ship. Docum. with GTIN: Specifies the default setting for the field of the same name in the customer card. Activating this setting causes the GTIN to be printed on the Shipment list, SSCC Package content list and Packlist Exportdata. By selecting or deselecting the field, you can decide whether this setting should be applied to all customers. The setting for the customer overrides this setting.
  • Edition Whse. Ship. document without loading during "Post and Print:" Specify the delivery note form that should be issued when "Whse. Shipment Post and Print" on Whse. Shipment Planning is selected for a Warehouse Shipment without Loading. If no report is specified, the standard delivery note will be printed.
  • Download Delivery Document Without Loading: Indicates whether the expression for Edition Whse. Ship. document without loading during "Post and Print" should be printed on a printer station or if only a file download should occur.
  • Edition Whse. Ship. document with loading during "Post and Print:" Specify the delivery note form that should be issued when "Whse. Shipment Post and Print" on Whse. Shipment Planning is selected for a Warehouse Shipment with Loading. If no report is specified, the standard delivery note will be printed.
  • Download Delivery Document With Loading: Indicates whether the expression for Edition Whse. Ship. document with loading during "Post and Print" should be printed on a printer station or if only a file download should occur.
  • Allow Gaps in Picking Container Number for PTU in Picking Documents: If this flag is activated, the system allows gaps in the entry numbers for picking containers created in the picking document. Instead of searching for the next gap-free number, the last used number is incremented. This significantly improves performance when there is a large number of PTUs.
  • Manual Change Qty. Packed and Flag Packed: Determines whether manual changes to the Packed and Quantity Packed fields on the outbound stock post lines are possible. These manual changes quickly lead to inconsistent data. Therefore, it is hidden by default and set to False. A change to this field creates a corresponding log entry in the Time Protocol.

Stocktaking

  • Standard Blocking Code: Defines a standard blocking code which is used to block an inventory if there is an unexpected difference during the count
  • Difference Blocking Type: Specifies what is to be blocked if a stock difference is detected. You can choose between the Load Carrier and the storage unit.
  • Use Value Difference LCY: If working with threshold values ​​in company currency is activated, the establishment of the 2nd or 3rd count also depends on a value limit. So that further counts for differences, e.g. less than 15€, are not even started. These differences are defined in the field Value Difference LCY
  • Aut. Takeover Cycle Counting Lists 1-2: Activates the automatic takeover of a counting lists 1 and 2 to the SNCL Stocktaking when the counting list state reaches the status 4-counted
  • Zero Stocktaking Picking: Activates zero stocktaking on the MDE. Storage places emptied during picking must be confirmed or counted directly as empty.
  • Confirm inv. by selection (MDE): If this flag is activated, the inventory can be selected manually in the mobile stocktaking process and the inventory do not need to be scanned (B5.3, B3.2).
  • Take Blocked Inventory into Account: Normally, blocked inventory cannot be counted. This setup deactivates the check for blocked inventory. If this flag is set, stocktakings for blocked inventory can be created, counted, and posted without restrictions.
Achtung

In warehouses with lots, sell-by dates and serial numbers, the Confirm inv. by selection (MDE) indicator should remain deactivated.

Permanent Stocktaking

  • Active: Activates all inventory types
  • Date Formula: Determines the period after which a count via permanent stocktaking is necessary for a storage place. A time interval to the current date is determined via this date formula. For example, if the storage place has not been counted in the last 3 months, it must be counted. For this purpose, M3 would have to be entered in the field. J1 is equal to 1 year. Stocktakings of the type Inventory Correction are excluded from this rule.
  • No. Series / Document No.: Sets the Document no. field in the stocktaking journal
  • Jnl. Template Name: Defines the standard journal template name for stocktakings. This is only used internally. Please talk to the SIEVERS Support before you change this

  • Perm. Stockt. Jnl. Batch No Series: Specifies the no. series for the stocktaking journals, as there may be several stocktakings at the same time.
  • Quantity Difference
  • Value Difference LCY

Internal Movements

  • General
    • Block Orig. Target Storage Place A2: Causes the original target storage place to be blocked when changing target storage places in A2 using the New Target Storage Place function. A standard blocking code can be entered in the Blocking Code Internal Transport field for this purpose.
    • Blocking Code Internal Transport: Determines the standard blocking code for storage places blocked by means of the Block Orig. Target Storage Place A2 setup. If this field is empty, a blocking code is requested from the user for each blocking.
  • Inbound Stock Post
    • Follow-up move order on Warehouse Receipt Storage Place: Causes a follow-up move order to be generated when a load carrier is placed in a warehouse receipt storage place. If there was already a destination storage place in the previous move order, this is also adopted in the follow-up move order.
    • Follow-Up Move Order on Transfer Storage Place: Causes a follow-up move order to be generated when a load carrier is placed in a transfer location. If there was already a destination storage place in the previous move order, this is also adopted in the follow-up move order.
  • Replenishment
    • Trigger-based Replenishment: Automatically generates Load Carrier or inventory move jobs depending on the defined replenishment strategies
    • Post Repl. on existing Inv.: This option allows you to add items to an existing stock number.

Strategies

Production

If these fields are filled, the corresponding fields on the production order are preassigned. Please note that entries in the item category, item card and stockkeeping unit data take precedence.

  • Location Code Production: Defines the storage location at which components are provided and posted for production
  • Supply Class Production:
    • Empty: Assembly or production are not active.
  • Replenishment: The required components are compiled across all orders. Move orders are generated in the system. With this supply class, supply can also be organised without order reservation with quantity specifications on the item. Inventory-based quantity supply on the production areas
  • Auto Print LC on Output: If the option is activated, the printing of load carrier labels is automatically triggered when stock placements are posted on the basis of an actual report.
  • Create Warehouse and Stock Document on Output: Specifies whether a warehouse shipment and the related stock document are to be generated automatically when the output journal of a production order linked to a sales order is posted. The Outbound Stock Post lines automatically generated by this setup run through the entire picking process within the system. This means that they are no different from manually created lines and no incorrect data is generated. The stock documents are automatically assigned to the sales order. This setup also controls the carrier type during deposit: If it is activated, the manufactured inventory item is deposited on a PTU/SSCC. If it is deactivated, deposit occurs on an SU (Storage Unit). Note: If manual Outbound Stock Post lines already exist for the warehouse shipment line, the system checks whether the remaining quantity is sufficient for automatic assignment. If the remaining quantity is insufficient, the output journal posting is aborted with an error message.
  • Scrap Code Necessary: Specifies that a scrap code must be entered when specifying a scrap quantity during output posting and finishing a product.
  • Apply Setup & Run Time: If activated, the setup time and run time are automatically transferred from the production order routing when the output journal is created. The run time is calculated as the operation's run time multiplied by the output quantity (finished quantity + scrap quantity). The setup time is applied per production order and operation only once — only if no capacity ledger entry with a setup time already exists for the corresponding operation. If the quantity in the journal is subsequently changed, both values are automatically recalculated.
  • Auto. Creation of Outbound Stock Post lines During Order Assignment: This indicator controls the automatic creation of stock documents for output journals. This field can only be activated if Create Warehouse and Stock Document on Output is activated.
    • For all lines: When an output journal is created for a production order, Outbound Stock Post lines are created or updated for all items in the related goods issue.
    • Only for affected lines: Only the line belonging to the output journal is processed in the warehouse shipment; all other stock documents remain unaffected.
    • No attachment: Only the warehouse shipment is created. Outbound Stock Post is performed manually or at a later time, if necessary.
  • Replenishment Move Job Manuf. per Target: If the option is enabled, a replenishment move order is created for each storage area in production
  • Output Journal Template
  • Consumption Journal Template
  • Provision of Components: Defines the storage parts in which the components required for production are provided
    • Storage Place Components
    • Provisioning Strategy Code Manuf.: This strategy determines the target location for all required input materials per production order.
    • Replenishment Strategy Code Components: This strategy determines the replenishment for all required input materials per production order.
    • Inv. Selection Strategy Code Components: Determines the inventory selection for all required input materials per production order
  • Output of finished Products: Specifies where the finished products should be taken to
    • Storage Place Code Finished Products Is being filtered on the selected Location Code Production
    • Inbound Stock Post Strategy Code Manuf.: Defines the target storage place for the finished product. Must always be filled for the output journal.
  • Take Out / Supply Production:
    • No confirmation of take out qty in PS: Causes an employee in C1.3 Pick Item Processing to no longer have to validate the quantity after scanning the inventory or load carrier if the planned picking quantity is equal to the inventory quantity.
    • Manual selection of LC in prod. supply allowed: Allows manual selection of a load carrier in C2.1 via touchscreen or cursor and enter. If the flag is deactivated, the load carrier must be scanned
    • Manual selection of Pos. in prod. supply allowed: Allows manual selection of a position in C2.2 via touchscreen or cursor and enter. If the flag is deactivated, the position must be scanned
  • Without quantity confirm. in prod. supply: If this option is enabled, the user does not have to confirm the quantity in C2.2 Supply processing production. This speeds up the process of processing move jobs. If you want the quantity to be confirmed during move job line processing, you should not activate this option.
  • Take out pos. cum. per LC & item: Activating this setup causes move job lines with identical parameters (storage place, item, lot, variant, sell-by date and serial number) to be displayed cumulatively on mobile pages C1.2 and C1.3. This reduces scanning effort, simplifies operation and minimizes operating errors.
  • Allow New SU without Blank Barcode: If activated, a new carrier (SU) can be created directly in the Prod. Removal (C1.2 & C1.3) without using a blank barcode. For this purpose, the menu item B1 New L5 (F5) is activated. This accelerates the removal process when additional carriers are needed spontaneously.

Assembly

  • Create Whse. Shpt. and Stock Doc. for Order Assembly: Specifies whether a warehouse shipment and the related stock document are to be generated automatically when an inbound stock post is posted in the context of an assembly-to-order linked to a sales order.
  • Auto Create Disloc. Lines for Order Assembly: This field is only active when Create Whse. Shpt. and Stock Doc. for Order Assembly is activated. If it is deactivated, this field automatically resets to No Creation.
    • For all lines: When an inbound stock post is posted, outbound stock post lines are created or updated for all items in the related warehouse shipment.
    • Only for affected line (default): Only the line related to the inbound stock post is processed; all other warehouse shipment lines remain unchanged.
    • No Creation: Only the warehouse shipment is created. Outbound stock posting is performed manually or at a later time.
  • Auto. Print LC on Assembly: If this option is activated, a label for the affected PTU and/or SSCC is automatically printed after successful order assignment and creation in the context of assembly-to-order (ATO). The printing runs fully automated without a request page and uses the existing print logic for PTU and SSCC. If an error occurs during printing, the entire transaction is rolled back.

Import and Export Setup

These functions in the SIEVERS WMS Setup enable the manual export and import of all setup tables in the SIEVERS WMS system. You can manually select which tables you want to export. Please make sure that the selection of tables makes sense. For example, you should not export table lines without a table header. There is no check for dependencies during the export! When importing a setup file, you can also select which tables you want to import. Only the tables that are actually contained in the file are shown. There are two checks during the import:

  • Dependencies: Tables are checked for dependencies on other tables. If you try to import a table whose associated tables are missing, an error occurs.
  • Data validation: The program checks whether the imported data is valid. For example, if you try to import a report whose report ID is not otherwise contained in the system, the report will not be imported. If a storage place has a blocking code that is not defined as such, it will be discarded at the storage place. This ensures that less inconsistent data is imported.
Achtung

This function is only suitable for setting up test systems or a minimal initial setup. Please do not use this function for your production system!
