37 Set Up Default Location Information

This chapter contains these topics:

By setting up default location information, you assign a branch/plant and print queue to a terminal that the system uses every time that you sign on.

37.1 Setting Up Default Location Information

37.1.1 Before You Begin

  • Verify that you have set up branch/plants

  • Verify that you have set up print queue codes in the user-defined code (system 40/type PP).

37.2 Defining a Default Location and Approval Route Code

From Inventory Management (G41), enter 29

From Inventory System Setup (G4141), choose Default Location and Printers

A default location is the branch/plant that is assigned to your user ID or terminal ID. If the system uses a default location, it automatically displays the branch/plant. If there is no branch/plant assigned to your user ID or terminal ID, you must enter a branch/plant manually.

You can define an approval route code if you use approval routing for purchase orders.

To define a default location and approval route code

Complete the following fields:

  • Terminal/User ID

  • Branch/Plant

  • Approval Route Code

Field Explanation
Terminal/ User ID The workstation ID number.

Form-specific information

Header Field: Use the Skip to Terminal/User ID field in the upper portion of the form as an inquiry field in which you can enter the number of a terminal or the IBM user ID of a specific person whose profile you want the system to display at the top of the list. When you first access this form, the system automatically enters the user ID of the person signed on to the system.

Detail Field: The Terminal/User ID field in the lower portion of the form contains the user ID of the person whose profile appears on the same line.
Approval Route Code A code that determines to whom an order is routed for approval.

Form-specific information

A code that identifies the approval route through which an order entered by you or at this terminal is routed for approval. The system uses this code for approval processing if you specified it in the processing options for purchase order entry.

37.3 Assigning Default Print Queues

From Inventory Management (G41), enter 29

From Inventory System Setup (G4141), choose Default Location and Printers

Default print queues represent the location where the system sends certain types of documents. You can assign a default print queue so that each time you print, the system sends the document to the default print queue. If you have not assigned a default print queue, the system first accesses the print queues that were assigned in the DREAM Writer version, and then accesses the print queue that is assigned to your user profile.

To assign default print queues

On Default Location & Printers

  1. Complete the following fields:

    • Terminal/User ID

    • Branch/Plant

  2. Enter 1 (Print Queues) in the following field:

    • Option

    • Print Queue

Field Explanation
Print Queue The waiting area a job goes to after it has processed. Output Queues are sometimes attached to printers. If an OUTQ is not specified, it defaults from the user's job description.

Form-specific information

The name of the print queue that you want the system to use for the adjacent document.

37.3.1 What You Should Know About
