Introduction
This document describes the scanner settings for E-Mobile Sales, in menu System, E-WMS, Scanners,
Purchase transaction settings. This document is based on the functionality as per product update 408,
for E-WMS ASP.
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.
After selecting menu System,
E-WMS, Scanners, Mobile Sales 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.

Purchase order header data
Default supplier
You can configure a specific default supplier for all scanned items. You
will have to make sure that the scanned items are also linked to this supplier,
this is not validated on the scanner. Items not linked to this supplier will
show on the error report when reading back and the scanned lines will be deleted
when the same transaction also has items which could be read back. When the
transaction only contained items that cannot be read back, then you can link
these items to the supplier and start read back again.
Enter supplier
When enabled, you can enter or select (browse for) the supplier code on the
scanner.
When disabled, you cannot enter a specific supplier on the scanner, but the
'default supplier' (see previous setting) is still applied, and shown on the
scanner.
When disabled and the default supplier is empty, then on read back a purchase
order will be created for the main supplier of the item. If you ordered multiple
items for several suppliers (but did not scan a supplier) then only one purchase
order is created per supplier, for all items orders for that supplier.
Validate supplier
Only applies when working with old 'CAB' Activesync client, and when validation
of supplier master data would not be possible. In that case you can disable this
validation and enter any supplier number, this will still be validated on read
back.
Default warehouse
You can prefill a default warehouse code on the scanner. This would have to
be combined with the next setting 'Change warehouse' configured to 'Default
value' or to 'Never'.
Change warehouse
This setting determines if the scanner user is able to enter or change a
warehouse code for the purchase order to be created. You have following choices:
- Default value: prefill the 'warehouse code'
scan field with the warehouse selected in previous setting 'Default
warehouse' and allow to change it
- Never: prefill the 'warehouse code' scan
field with the warehouse selected in previous setting 'Default warehouse'
but do not allow to change it (show only)
- Empty: do not prefill the 'warehouse code'
scan field and allow user input on the scanner
Default reference
You can enter a default reference to be used,
this can be combined with next setting 'Enter reference'. This reference is used
for the 'Description' field in the purchase order header data.
Enter reference
When enabled, the scanner user can change or enter the purchase order reference. The
value from previous setting 'default reference' will be used to prefill the
reference field on the scanner. When disabled, the reference is not
visible and cannot be entered on the scanner. The value from 'Default reference'
is automatically used in the purchase order.
Default selection code
You can configure a default selection code to be assigned to the new purchase
order. You can select from the preconfigured Exact Globe Next selection codes.
Enter Selection code
When enabled, the scanner user can enter or select (browse) one of the existing
selection codes. The selection code can also be left empty. The selection code
is entered in the purchase order 'opening' screen, before scanning the order lines.
Financial data
Default cost centre
It is possible to configure a specific cost centre to be linked to sales orders
created by Mobile Sales.
Enter cost centre
When enabled, the scanner user can enter or select (browse) one of the existing
cost centers. The cost centre is entered in the order 'closing screen', after
all lines are scanned, and can be left empty. When disabled, the scanner user
does not enter or see a cost centre.
Enter project
When enabled, the scanner user can enter or select (browse) an existing project
code. The project code is entered in the order 'closing screen', after all lines
are scanned. When disabled, the scanner user does not enter or see a project
code.
Project mandatory
When enabled, and previous setting 'enter project' is enabled, then entry of a
project code is mandatory.
Default user
Does not apply to WMS ASP but to old 'CAB' functionality only. In the
general scanner settings a 'default picker' can be configured. With this
setting 'default user' you can indicate whether that setting also applies to
Mobile Sales. If not, the scanner will ask for a new value when you start a new
sales order.
Purchase order line data
Validate item code
Does not apply to WMS ASP, but to old 'CAB' functionality only, when not
using RF. When you do not have access to item master data on a scanner,
you can disable validation of item codes while scanning. The item codes will
still be validated on read back of the orders. You cannot use WMS scan codes
when this setting is disabled, translation of scan codes to item codes is only
done on the scanner and not when reading back transactions. The two following
settings are also related to not having item master data available on the
scanner.
Display item description
Does not apply to WMS ASP, but to old 'CAB' functionality only. When disabled,
the item description is not shown on the scanner. When having no item master
data available (see previous setting 'Validate item code') then this setting can
also be disabled.
Enter quantity
When enabled, the quantity can be entered, and a default predefined quantity can
be changed.
When disabled, the quantity cannot be entered, and the default quantity is
always applied (which should be set to value other than zero in that case).
Default quantity
You can specify a default quantity to be prefilled on the scanner.
Minimum quantity
This setting determines the minimum quantity allowed to enter on the hand
terminal.
Maximum quantity
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.
Default cost unit
You can specify a default cost unit to be prefilled on the scanner, when 'Enter
cost unit' is enabled.
Enter cost unit
When enabled, the scanner user can enter or select (browse for) an existing cost
unit code. The cost unit can be prefilled with the 'default cost unit'. Entry of
the cost unit is not mandatory.
When disabled, the cost unit is not entered or visible on the scanner.
