Business Benefits

Before starting up the WMS, there are various parameters that must be defined so that the system can function properly. These parameters relate to a variety of features that you may (or may not) be using.

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see WP - Warehouse Profile.

Usage

Use this job to set up various parameters required in the Warehousing system for:

• Turns system integration (Field 1)
• Pallet Control system integration (Fields 21 to 24)
• TMS integration (Fields 61 and 62).

Preconditions

Turn on the interface by responding to the four questions, Fields 61-64.

3. WP.11 [Warehouses]

Set up the Warehouse/Branch codes. For example, for Warehouse code 01, you must fill in the TMS Ship-From code

7. CR.18 [Client Arrangements]

Go to field 65 (on screen 3) to set up the primary default Carrier.

8. CR.30 [National Motor Freight Classes]

9. FM.98 [Reference Names]

Ensure that the Order References from WMS correspond to the TMS Reference fields.

Operation Steps of WMS/TMS (PW/RT) Interface:

1. OE.01 [Enter Orders (Shipping)]

Enter each Order. Upon update of the Order, the system will determine whether the Pro-Bill will be created.
