Select Stores popup is accessed by selecting the Select Stores option on the Store Administration screen. It is used to define which stores the store admin configurations should be applied to. The list of stores will be those in which the user has security permissions. The user is able to select one or more stores from the list.

|
Note: Making changes to this screen does not impact already existing store administration values. |
The Ad Hoc Stock Count Tolerances screen is an admin screen used to maintain tolerances which are used to determine discrepant items within Ad Hock stock counts. These tolerances are maintained on a per store basis. The screen is accessed from the Configuration menu within the Admin menu.
|
Note: Ad Hoc stock counts can only be executed with the mobile application. |
Tolerances are set up at the class hierarchy level and can be defined for variance percentages as well as variance standard unit of measures. There is a record for each class in the system, and initially upon install both variances will be set to zero. Variances must be whole numbers. At least one of the tolerances must be set up for each class, both cannot be left blank.
When counting an ad hoc stock count the system will look at the variances defined for the class that the item belongs too. If the difference between the counted quantity and the stock on hand exceeds the variance, the item will be considered discrepant. you must be within the lowest defined variance. A variance of zero for either field means that the count must be exact and cannot be discrepant.
Example: Item TV has SOH of 10 Units. Tolerance defined for 2 Variance SUOM and 10% Variance Percent. If you counts 8 that exceeds the variance and it would be considered discrepant.
The Customer Order Picking Tolerances screen is an admin screen used to maintain tolerances which are used within Customer Order Picking. These tolerances are maintained on a per store basis. Because variable unit of measure items can be difficult to pick exactly, tolerance can be needed. Tolerances define if and how much variable UOM items can be over picked. The screen is accessed the Configuration menu within the Admin menu.
Tolerances are set up at the class hierarchy level and can be defined for variance percentages as well as variance standard unit of measures. There is a record for each class in the system, and initially upon install both variances will be set to zero. Variances must be whole numbers. At least one of the tolerances must be set up for each class, both cannot be left blank.
When performing a pick, the pick quantity cannot exceed the suggested pick quantity by more than the variances defined for the item's class. You must be within the lowest defined variance. This is applicable only to items that are not unit/each items, for example pounds. A variance of zero for either field means that the suggested pick quantity cannot be exceeded.
Example: Ordered 2 KG bananas. Tolerance defined for 1 Variance SUOM and 10% Variance Percent. User is not able to pick exactly 2 KG and picks 2.1 KG. This is acceptable as the .1 KG does not exceed the defined variances.
The Barcode Processor screen is an admin screen used to manage which barcode processors execute and the sequence in which they should be called. You can mark a barcode processor inactive or active. The Barcode Processor screen is accessed via the menu: Admin / Configuration / Barcode Processor. You must have Access Barcode Processor permission for the Barcode Processor menu option to display. The screen will display a set of barcode processors that were created via the data setup script.

The Buddy Stores screen allows the store user to define stores that they normally transfer items to, in other words the store's "buddy". Each store can define their own list of buddy stores.

The Auto Receive Stores screen allows you to select those stores to Auto-Receive transfer shipments from. Each store can define their own list of auto receive stores.

The receiving store will not be able to receive exceptions, or record damages to the transfer.
The Auto Receive Stores screen is accessed by selecting Admin / Configuration / Auto Receive Store.

This information should be coordinated with the Order Management System and / or manifest system.
The Package Sizes screen is used to setup and maintain Package dimensions for all shipments to supplier, finisher, warehouse and store for the entire system.
Package Size is used within:
RTV Shipment and Transfer Shipment
Container Info and Edit Container
Customer Order Deliveries
BOL Info and Edit Delivery
The Package Size dialog is accessed via the menu: Admin / Configuration / Package Size. Since package sizes are very specific to the retailer, there will not be an initial default of package sizes on install. Package Sizes can be created, edited and deleted. Values include: description, height, widths, length, and Unit of Measure.
GS1 extended attributes allow users to capture manually or automatically through the use of a GS1 data bar values at the item transaction level. This for example allows the capture of an expiration date during delivery. Only physical item dialogues allow this manual or automatic capture:
Inventory adjustments
Stock counts
Shipping / receiving (DSD, RTV, transfers customer orders)
Retailers have the ability to change the standard name of the GS1 attribute, and define up to 10 attributes by subclass that should be captured.
The Setup Extended Attributes screen will be pre-populated with all of the current GS1 Application Identifiers and enables the user to view and edit Name, Type and Description of the extended attributes, depending on the business needs for the entire system. The user must have appropriate permission to access the screen and edit extended attributes.
This screen lists the assignments made for the various sub-classes and their display order in the transactions. The assignment made here will be applicable to the stores selected in the select store list. All extended attributes for the current store will replace those of the selected stores. The user must have appropriate permissions to access the screen.
The Assign Extended Attributes popup enables the user to assign the extended attributes to a department/class/sub-class hierarchy and identify the order in which they will be displayed in the data entry screens in the transactions.
The Store Shipping Network screen is an admin screen that enables the user to set up a shipping network for a store(s). That is, the list of stores that a store can ship to and the list of stores that a store cannot ship to. For example, if a list of stores get excluded from the shipping network for Store A, those stores cannot be a destination store for Transfer documents and Transfers shipments originating from Store A, except for the transfers initiated by the Merchandising system.
The screen can be accessed through Admin/Configuration/Store Shipping Network. The user must have Access Store Shipping Network permission to access this screen.
With the Select Stores popup, user can set up excluded stores for more than one store at a time. User can also override the existing excluded stores setup if needed.
