This document describes the settings available for Exact Globe Next module SSCC Shipment Builder (SE1387), as available per product update 407.
SSCC Shipment Builder is based on E-WMS functionality and technology, but offered as independent solution, to offer SSCC shipping functionality even when you are not using E-WMS for order picking. After activating SE1387 in your license, your database will be updated, after which you will see some new settings to support the functionality of SSCC Shipment Builder.
You will notice following new settings tabs in menu System, General, settings:
In addition to configuring these settings, you will also need to configure 'SKU (SSCC) types', link these to items, and enable 'Autopack' for specific items.
This settings group contains general settings related to stock validations to be applied when working with Shipment Builder.
To allow generating an Autopack advice and processing order lines without (sufficient) stock available, this setting needs to be set to 'No check', and also the Exact Globe Next order setting 'Check stock' needs to be disabled. Under normal circumstances, this setting needs to be set to the lowest stock level possible.
WMS Sales order fulfillment
These settings are specific for the way you want work in the control center for SSCC Shipment Builder.
Section: General
Selection code urgent ordersYou can assign a specific 'selection code' to sales orders which should be handled first in the control center. All sales orders having this selection code ('Conditions' button in a sales order) will always show on top of the list of orders in the control center.This setting is mandatory.PrinterThis is the default printer used when printing reports from the control center; this document provides more information.Check credit lineThis setting is available from product update 407, and enables or disables the check on your customers credit line, and also the prepayment status of sales orders, before starting the Shipment Builder. When this check is disabled and the credit line would be exceeded, this would only be noticed while trying to process the sales order and print the delivery note.Section: Fulfilment: picking advice
SB advice policySince this setting is available in several E-WMS modules, this setting is generally explained in this document. For SSCC Shipment Builder, this setting is available from release 407.When generating a serial/batch packing advice for SSCC Shipment Builder and when you are using warehouse locations, only stock on the default location of an item, is regarded as available stock.Section: Manual validationThe settings in this section are applied when opening an 'auto packed' sales order in the control center (not: the Shipment Builder screen) from status 'Validated' or 'Picking error', and determine what actions are allowed at that time, and under which circumstances you are allowed to process the sales order.
Difference in backorderDetermines whether it is allowed to put lines for which was insufficient stock available, to back order. This would be done by not checking the '=' (set equal to) column in the opened order. Clicking on this column and removing the green checkmark means: do not change the original ordered quantity, the remainder will be put to backorder (split into new order line).Clicking on this column and setting the green checkmark means: change the ordered quantity in the order line to the 'picked' quantity, so the remainder would be dropped.If the setting 'difference in backorder' is enabled, you are allowed to process this sales order while this column was 'unchecked'. The remainder will be put to backorder.If the setting 'difference in backorder' is disabled, you are not allowed to process this sales order while this column was 'unchecked'. You cannot put the remainder to backorder.Only if not in stockThis setting can be used to make the setting 'difference in backorder' more restrictive.When enabled, processing while 'putting to backorder' is only allowed when that stock is actually not available. When there is stock available, then there would be no reason to fulfill less than ordered.When disabled, processing while 'putting to backorder' is allowed regardless there would be sufficient stock or not.Drop differencesThis setting determines whether you are allowed to drop ordered quantities for which was insufficient stock, the same way as for above setting 'Difference in backorder'.When enabled, you are allowed to process the sales order while the '=' (set equal to) column was checked. The ordered quantity will be changed to the fulfilled quantity.When disabled, you are not allowed to process the sales order while the '=' column was checked. You cannot drop differences due to 'less picked' quantities.Pick more than orderedEnabled: you are allowed to process the sales order while fulfilling more than orderedDisabled: you are not allowed to process the sales order while fulfilling more than orderedSection: process orders / print delivery notesThese settings are applied when starting fulfillment of a sales order, and affect the delivery note screen and the way sales orders are processed.Report settingsSee document WMS reports. Fixed backorder dateOnly enabled when the setting 'backorder date' is enabled. When enabled, you can assign one specific planned delivery date to all split backorder lines (see above setting 'difference in backorder')Backorder dateWhen enabled, the setting 'fixed backorder date' becomes available, and that date is applied to the delivery date for all split backorder lines.When disabled, the setting 'Days in backorder' becomes available, and the 'current date' + 'days in backorder' will be assigned as planned delivery date for backorder lines. Days in backorderNumber of days to be added as fulfillment date to new backorder lines, see setting 'backorder date'.Print data for each orderWhen starting fulfillment, SSCC Shipment Builder will show a delivery note screen, similar to the Exact Globe Next delivery note screen.When enabled, the delivery note screen will pop up separately for each of the sales orders selected to be fulfilled, allowing specific settings per order.When disabled, the delivery note screen will show once when starting fulfillment, and the choices will be applied to all orders selected for fulfillment.Use debtor layoutsEnabled: layouts linked through debtor number or language are applied, overruling the default layout selected in the delivery note screenDisabled: the layout selected in the delivery note screen is always applied, linked layouts are ignored.Default 'create invoice'Enabled: the option 'Generate invoices' on the delivery note screen is by default enabledDisabled: the option 'Generate invoices' on the delivery note screen is by default disabledEdit 'create invoice'Enabled: the option 'Generate invoices' is visible on the delivery note screen and can be changed by the user.Disabled: the option 'Generate invoices' is visible on the delivery note screen and cannot be changed, the default from setting "Default 'create invoice'" is applied.
