This document describes the entry of serial/batch start- or end date in E-WMS ASP receipt processes.
In all WMS receipt processes it is possible to optionally register start date and/or end date of the batch or serial number. This can be enabled or disabled in the hand terminal settings for each WMS process:
When date registration is enabled, and you are receiving a new batch or serial number, the date has to be entered on the hand terminal:
When entered manually, this date has to be entered in a standardized format, for example YYYY-MM-DD, or in the format of your specific regional settings on your IIS server.
When date registration is enabled and a start date or end date is included in a bar code like EAN128 or HIBC, then this date is automatically prefilled and applied.
Manual entry of a date, or applying a date which was included in a bar code, is only done, when:
When receiving a serial- or batch number which already exists, or was received just before, than the previous scanned date is applied and date input is skipped for this receipt.
When working with E-WMS Serial/Batch Generation, input of serial/batch dates is always skipped since the 'end date' policy is regulated through the settings and by the item shelf life factor.
