This document describes the maintenance screen of E-WMS scanner group filters, as per product update 413.
It may be necessary to pick an order using multiple order pickers, or using specific picking equipment, based on the storage properties of the item, or based on item properties itself.
For that purpose, it is possible to use 'order line filtering' when sending order lines picking manually in an E-WMS control center.
When sending orders picking automatically using Auto queue, WMS 'scanner group filters' can be used to split order lines to specific scanner groups.
Please also note the points of interest on scanner group filters in the Auto queue documentation.
One of the differences compared to manual filtering from a control center, is that for scanner group filters only a scanner group can be assigned, while on manual filtering you can send picking to one scanner, a scanner group or to the generic picking queue.
The available selections for filtering have been changed in release 413 and up, see this document for details about the changes.
Maintenance
Scanner group filters can be configured in menu System, E-WMS, Service schedules, Scanner group filters.
You can create one 'filter' per warehouse per WMS module per hand terminal group.
All selections based on warehouse locations (zone, location, bulk/pick/none) are based on the advised location (when 'picking advice' was enabled) or on the item's default location (when 'picking advice' was not enabled, and in WMS Receipts Registration).
When the usage of locations is disabled or your license does not contain SE1312 E-Warehouse Location, then the location-related fields are disabled.
Warehouse Select the warehouse where the orders will be placed, and where the filter should be applied to. For the replenishment process, this is the issuing (picking) warehouse.
Module Select one of the available WMS processes: Fulfillment, Manufacturing Issues, Receipts registration or Replenishment.
Zone Select a specific zone or a range of zones, for which the order lines should be handled by the selected scanner group. WMS zones and locations per zones can be configured in menu System, E-WMS, Zones. If zone selection does not apply, then enable the 'All' checkmark.
Location Select a specific warehouse location or a range of locations, for which the order lines should be handled by the selected scanner group. If location selection does not apply, then enable the 'All' checkmark.
Item code Select a specific item code or a range of item codes, for which the order lines should be handled by the selected scanner group. If item code selection does not apply, then enable the 'All' checkmark.
Item group Select a specific item group or a range of item groups, for which the order lines should be handled by the selected scanner group. If item group selection does not apply, then enable the 'All' checkmark (E-WMS will then automatically determine the 'to' value, as highest value).
Picking classification Select a specific item 'picking classification' or a range of classifications, for which the order lines should be handled by the selected scanner group. Item picking classifications can be maintained in item maintenance, WMS button. If classification selection does not apply, then enable the 'All' checkmark.
Location types: bulk, pick, none Select one or more of the location types that should be handled by this scanner group.This refers to the location type configured in Exact Globe Next maintenance of warehouse locations, where the default location type is 'None':
