Setting Warehouse Management Preferences

Depending on your business needs, set the following preferences that affect one or more warehouse processing tasks:

• Automatically Set to Firm Committed Quantities in a Wave – Automatically checks the Commitment Confirmed box for transaction lines of orders that you include in a wave.

  If you want to reallocate the quantities committed for the order, you can clear the Commitment Confirmed box. However, NetSuite WMS does not adjust the quantities on the wave transaction and its pick tasks. On your mobile device, you should pick only the remaining committed quantities, which you can partially fulfill. Do not pick the entire quantity on the released wave without replenishing the committed quantities on the order transaction. NetSuite WMS cannot generate a fulfillment record for the order.

• Using Preferred Bin on Item Receipts – Determines if the Bin field on item receipts defaults to the preferred bin instead of leaving the field blank.

• Default Items to Zero Received/Fulfilled – When you set this preference, items default to unfulfilled when you open a fulfillment transaction. You can mark the items you want to fulfill on the fulfillment.

• Use Pick to Clean Process at Locations Using Warehouse Management - Indicates your preference to pick from bins that can be emptied, before those with larger quantities.

• Create Item Fulfillment at Locations Using Warehouse Management - Provides the following options for creating item fulfillments of released orders:

  • Per Order – (default setting) Generates item fulfillments for each released order.

  • Per Order Line – Generates item fulfillments for each line item of a released order.

  • Per Order in a Wave – Generates an item fulfillment for all item lines of an order released in the same wave. Unlike the Per Order option, you can generate an item fulfillment regardless of lines from the same order released in other waves.

• Show Additional Pick Task Columns – Adds two columns on the Line Items subtab of a pick task subrecord, named User Field 1 and User Field 2. If you want to enter more details on pick task lines, you can set this preference.

  To access a pick task, go to Transactions > Order Management > View Pick Tasks. You can edit a pick task, and then enter details in the columns on the Line Items subtab.

• Default Status – Sets the default status of newly created waves to either Released or Pending Release.

• Default Picking Type – Sets the default picking type of newly created waves to either MultipleOrders, Single Order, or Bulk Picking.

Note:

For standard and custom mobile processes, NetSuite WMS does not support the entry and mandatory setting of class and department classifications. For more information about these mandatory preferences, see Classifications. For more information about mobile processes, see Mobile App Setup.
