Description
Once scanner settings are defined, these need to
be assigned to each device in menu System, E-WMS,
Scanners, Scanners. You can use one general settings profile for all
devices, or you can set up specific profiles per individual device. Please also read document
General notes on scanner settings.
After selecting menu System,
E-WMS, Scanners, Receipt registration settings you can create a new
profile by pressing New, or edit an existing profile by using Open. You can only
delete profiles which are not linked to devices.

You can jump directly to a specific section:
Section: Submenu
These settings are available from product update
408. You can disable one of the receipt submenus on the scanner. If both are
enabled, a submenu will first show on the scanner after selecting main menu
'Receipts'. When only one of these submenus is enabled, this submenu will be
immediately started when choosing main menu 'Receipts'.
Option 'Receipts' refers to guided receipts: purchase orders are first sent
picking, the warehouse employee has to select a purchase order to be received,
and can select from a list of order lines. In Free Receipts, there is no list of
expected orders, the supplier code or purchase order number is just
scanned, after which the received items are scanned.
This document provides more information on guided and non-guided processes
in E-WMS.
When both submenus are disabled, you will see error message 'Please select at
least one of the options in section 'submenu' in this screen.
Section: General
Order list sorting
This setting is available from release
410 and configures the sort order
of the purchase orders (PO) to be received, in the order list on the scanner. Besides changing the sort order, also
the information shown in the order list depends on this setting.
- Order number: the default value for this
setting and the default sort order in release 409 and earlier. Information
shown on the scanner per order: PO number, supplier name
- Supplier name: sorts the order list
by name of the supplier and next on PO number. Information shown on the
scanner per order: PO number, supplier name
- Supplier number: sorts the order
list by supplier number (creditor code) and next on PO number. Information
shown on the scanner per order: PO number, supplier code, supplier name (so 1 row extra per 'order button')
- Moment of sending orders: sorts the order
list by sequence of sending the orders picking. This is defined by the
sequence in
which orders are selected (multi-select using shift-click or control-click)
in the control center, and in general in chronological order of sending
picking. Information shown on the scanner per order: PO number, supplier
name
Browse order lines
ASP and CAB (CAB: list only shown once after
selecting order).
When enabled, a list of order lines
(advice lines) to pick will be shown first, after selecting an order. You have
to select a specific line from that list to start receiving. The order line
browser only shows once, after selecting the order, unless you select option
''Skip advice line for now" using the
STOP button. Then you will see the order line browser again.
When disabled, there is no advice what item to
receive, after selecting the purchase order. You can then start receiving with
any of the ordered items.
In the ASP receipts procedure, the setting 'Guided flow' is
related to this setting.
Show picked lines
ASP and CAB (except CAB RF). When enabled, a list of
the picked lines shows after the receipt is done so you can review your work.
The list will only show totals per location per item.
Allow additions
ASP and CAB.
When enabled, the 'Add' button will be enabled while
scanning receipts (using the OPTIONS button), and the order picker has the possibility to add items which were
not ordered.
To read back and allow these additional lines being processed, the setting 'Allow
additions' in the general settings
WMS Sales Order Fulfillment also has to be enabled.
When this setting is disabled, the 'Add' button is
disabled on the scanner.

Product Update 404: Change in E-WMS validation when adding items during picking.
Default reference
Available since product update 404 (ASP only),
allows you to enter a receipt reference for guided receipts, after all lines for
an order are received.
When the setting 'Display which value' is however set to 'Never' then
please keep in mind that always the default reference of the purchase order
is applied, and not the default reference from these settings.
The entered reference will be visible as 'Your reference' on the item
transaction card, after processing.
Display which value?
Available since product update 404 (ASP only),
refers to the 'default reference' and configures how to apply entry of a
reference field:
- Default value: present the default reference on
the scanner, and allow to change it.
- Never: do not ask for input of reference on the
hand terminal, the reference of the purchase order will be used as receipt
'your reference'
- Empty: ask for reference on the hand terminal, where the default value
will be 'empty'
Guided flow
ASP only. This setting determines whether you are scanning received items
randomly, or per item in sequence. This affects the validation of 'quantity
received'.
- Scan per item: once you scan one specific
item, it is assumed that you receive that item in total. When receiving less
than ordered, you will see the message 'Scanned less. Do you want to close
the line?'
- Random scan manual differences: you are
receiving items randomly. After entry of quantity there is no immediate quantity
validation, only when you indicate you are done with the order, then quantities
are validated. In case of differences the message 'There are differences' will
show, allowing you to edit and change the received lines.
- Random scan: you are receiving items
randomly. After entry of quantity there is no immediate quantity validation, and
also when the order is done, quantities are not validated. Only after reading
back and validating through the WMS RF service, or in the control center,
quantities are validated according to the WMS settings for Receipts
Registration.
Screen layout
ASP and WMSclient only. Please read
this section for more information on 'screen layout'.
Readback real-time receipt
ASP only, available from 406, and applies only when
real-time transfers is enabled. This setting determines at what moment the
scanned receipts can be read back; before or after all these receipts also have
been transferred:
- After real-time transfers:
receipts can only be read back after all receipt lines have been transferred
as well. This means that after processing the receipts, in Exact Globe Next
you will only see receipt transactions where the receipt location is equal
to the transfer target location.
- Allow early read back:
receipts can be read back as soon as the receipt transaction is 'done'
(ready, all lines scanned). This means that in Exact Globe Next you may
partly see receipt transactions on the transfer target location (the
'real-time' transfers) and also separate receipt transactions (on the
original receipt location) and transfer transactions (issue from receipt
location, receipt on transfer target location). Also the received stock may
be momentary not available for transfers, during the period between reading
back and processing the stock as shelf stock.
- Ask user: when
ending a receipt transaction on the scanner, the user will see a pop-up
screen 'Readback real-time receipt' with options 'After real-time transfers'
and 'Allow early read back'. The default choice will be 'After real-time
transfers'.
Show stock button
ASP only. Determines whether the hand terminal user
is allowed to view
item stock on the hand terminal.
Before release 406, this setting was named 'RF: browse stock'.
Auto. SKU label screen
ASP only. When using SKU Management, determines if
the SKU
label screen appears automatically (when you have not printed
labels for this item for this order yet). When disabled, you will always have to
press the SKU label button manually - this may be more convenient when you are
receiving SKU items both as SKUs and as sales units.
Use external SKU nrs
ASP only, available from
405 and applies to E-WMS SKU Management. You can read more about external
SKU numbers in
this document.
When enabled, you can scan external SKU numbers without having to generate SKU
numbers and print labels during the receipt process.
When disabled (default), you will have to generate SKU numbers and print labels
from the hand terminal, during the receipt.
S/B number generation
Available since release 404, ASP only, enables the use of
Serial/Batch Generation: shows or hides the 'SB' button in the scanner
'options' menu.
Note: S/B number generation cannot be used together with the lot number functionality.
Autoreceive
ASP only, available from
406. Enables or disables the button 'Autoreceive' when scanning receipts on the hand terminal.
Autoreceive provides the possibility to automatically generate serial-, batch-
or SKU numbers and generate receipt lines for these. You can find more
information in
this document.
Entry: receipt date
ASP only. When enabled, you are able to enter
a specific receipt date on the hand terminal, after finishing a receipt for a
purchase order. After reading back and processing the receipt date, the receipt
will be processed with this specific date as receipt date.
Section: Bar code
Scanning combination
ASP and CAB. Please read
this document for more details on 'scanning combination' and 'dividing
character'.
Dividing character
ASP and CAB. Please read
this document for more details on 'scanning combination' and 'dividing
character'.
Use EAN128
ASP and CAB. When enabled,
EAN128 decoding will be started for
any scanned value. Disable this setting when you do not use EAN128 bar codes.
Please also read:
how to activate EAN128 barcode scanning in WMS ASP and in
WMS CAB.
Focus to next field
ASP only.
Please read
this document for more information on this setting. This setting is
available in this screen from release
409, in earlier releases this was a
general
scanner setting.
Show barcode summary
Available from product update 404 (ASP and for
WMS client only). When enabled, a summary screen will show (in which you
have to press Enter or OK) after a scan, when otherwise you would have moved to
the next transaction screen immediately. This way you still have a
confirmation of what you scanned, before the next scan screen is shown. Typically,
this will be the case when you have disabled the setting 'Focus
to next field' and scanning a SKU number, or an EAN128 or HIBC bar code.
Please also see
this document for more information on this setting.
Section: Location
Default value
You can define a default location where you are
receiving goods (receipts dock). Since you can use any warehouse for receipts,
there is no validation of the entered location in this screen.
To apply a default receipt location, the setting 'Location/Display which value'
will have to be configured to 'Default value' or to 'Never'.
Display which value?
Determines how to prefill the 'location' field in
the receipts process, with following options:
- Default value: prefills the
'default value' and you are still able to change and scan the location on
the hand terminal (ASP and CAB)
- Never: prefills the 'default value' and
also skips input of the location on the hand terminal. You can only receive
on this specific location (ASP and CAB, in CAB the location is also not
visible)
- Empty: the location field on the hand
terminal is always empty and has to be scanned (ASP and CAB)
- Advice: prefills the default (main)
location of the received item and you are still
able to change and scan the location on the hand terminal (ASP and CAB)
- Advice + skip: prefills the default
(main) location of the received item and also
skips input of the location on the hand terminal (ASP, in CAB the default
item location is shown but the prefilled value is 'empty')
When working with
crossdocking, option 'Default value' or 'Advice' is the best choice.
Section: Quantity
Default quantity
ASP and CAB. Prefills the quantity field on the hand
terminal with this value, when the quantity is not prefilled from a scan like an
EAN128 bar code. The default value is 0. Leave this value at 0 if you want to
avoid just pressing 'Enter' in the receipts process too quickly (and receiving
a default quantity). If you often receive items per single unit, it is better to use
'Pivot point' (see below).
Minimum quantity
ASP and CAB. This setting determines the minimum
quantity allowed to enter on the hand terminal. This setting is intended to
avoid errors on the hand terminal.
Maximum quantity
ASP and CAB. This setting determines the maximum
quantity allowed to enter on the hand terminal. This setting is intended to
avoid errors on the hand terminal, like scanning the item code in the quantity
field by mistake.
Pivot point quantity
ASP only. For pivot point, please refer to
this document.
Pivot point batch
ASP only. For pivot point, please refer to
this document.
When using pivot point: in combination with 'random scan' (see setting
'Guided flow'), you will remain in the receipt flow for the same item, until
your press the 'Next' button
.
This button confirms that you are done for now with the scanned item.
Section: date registration
These settings determine what serial/batch dates
will be registered on the scanner. Please read
this document for more information on serial/batch date registration.
Section: Lot number
Note: S/B number generation cannot be used together with the lot number functionality.
In this section you can enable the lot number functionality for this WMS
process. The lot number functionality can be enabled for serial and/or batch
items for the following WMS processes:
- Receipt registration
- Stock inventory
- Stock transactions
- Production Receipts
and is supported for the following actions:
- Receiving a serial or batch item with a lot number.
- Performing a stock transaction with a serial or batch item and a lot
number.
- Auto-receiving a serial or batch item with a lot number.
- Receiving a serial or batch item with a lot number using GS-128.
- Performing a count for a serial or batch item with a lot number.
- Performing a production receipt for a serial or batch item with a
lot number.
- Receiving a serial or batch item with a lot number with scanner
settings disabled.
- Printing serial or batch numbers with a serial or batch item with a
lot number.
- Auto-receiving a serial or batch item with a lot number with SKU.
Lot number for batch items
Enable this option if you want to use the lot number functionality for batch
items for the receipt registration process.
Lot number for serial items
Enable this option if you want to use the lot number functionality for serial
items for the receipt registration process.
Section: free receipts
The settings in this section only apply to using 'Free
receipts', in scanner menu [Receipts, Free Receipts].
Scan supplier
ASP and CAB. When enabled, you are able to scan
either the supplier number, or the purchase order number.
When disabled, you will have to scan the purchase order number in Free
Receipts.
Default warehouse
ASP and CAB. This warehouse is used to find matching
purchase order numbers when reading back the receipt, and in case you scanned just
the supplier instead of a specific order. When scanning a specific purchase order,
the warehouse linked to that order is automatically applied in the receipt.
Display which value?
Refers to 'default warehouse', ASP and CAB. This
setting determines how the 'warehouse' field is prefilled on the hand
terminal:
- Default value: prefills the 'default
warehouse' from the previous setting on the hand terminal, but the warehouse
can still be changed during the receipt.
- Never: prefills the 'default warehouse'
from the previous setting and skips input on the hand terminal.
- Empty: allows to enter the warehouse
during the receipt but with no prefilled value (forced to scan).
When scanning a specific purchase order number,
input of 'warehouse' is always skipped and the warehouse linked to the order is
automatically applied.
Default reference
ASP and CAB. This setting enables you to enter a
default reference for free receipts.
Display which value?
ASP and CAB, refers to 'default reference'. This
setting determines if and how the 'reference' is prefilled on the hand terminal,
with following options:
- Default value: prefills the reference
with the 'default reference', but can still be changed during the receipt.
- Never: prefills the reference with the
'default reference' and skips input on the hand terminal.
- Empty: allows to enter the reference
during the receipt but with no prefilled value. The reference can also be left empty.
Section: Scanner - Activesync
These settings are only applied when using the E-WMS
CAB client without RF, so when you have to connect to a PC (cradle) to
communicate with an E-WMS Control Center.
Validate supplier
This setting determines if you want to validate a
scanned supplier number during the receipt, or only after reading back the
receipt.
When disabled, any supplier code can be scanned during the receipt (existing or
not), but this also means you don't have to export supplier master data to the
hand terminals. After reading back a receipt, the supplier code is still
validated.
When enabled, the scanned supplier code is validated on the hand terminal, using
the master data previously exported to the hand terminal (menu
WMS, Send, Send creditor data).
Validate item code
This setting determines if you want to validate a
scanned item code (or scan code) during the receipt, or only after reading back
the receipt.
When disabled, any item code (not: scan codes) can be scanned during the receipt
(existing or not), this also means you do not have to export item master data to
the hand terminals. After reading back a receipt, the item code is still
validated (but then scan codes are not converted to item codes).
When enabled: the scanned item code or scan code is validated on the hand
terminal, using the master data previously exported to the hand terminal (menu
WMS, Send, Send item data).
Serial/batch
This setting determines how to handle input of the
serial/batch number in general. When validation of item codes (see
previous setting) was disabled and there is no item master data on the hand
terminal, it can not be determined if an item is a serial/batch item or
not. Using this setting, you can still configure if you want to enter
serial/batch number for all receipts using following choices:
- Normal (default value): serial/batch
number entry is disabled (you never receive serial/batch items, or you have
item master data available on the hand terminal)
- Serial: assumes you are always receiving
serial number items (entry of serial number per single unit, but can be left empty)
- Batch: assumes you are always receiving
batch items (entry of batch number for each receipt, but can be left empty)
