Pre-Receiving Operations
Quality Control (QC) Setup
The WMS QC functionality will allow marking for QC a number of LPNs per load on a Vendor.
Task Description | WMS Module | Overview/Comments | Task Details |
---|---|---|---|
Vendor QC Set Up | Vendor QC UI Module | The vendor QC functionality will allow setting specific vendors that require QC Processes. LPNs will be selected for QC during receiving. |
|
Vendor Performance Report | Screen Configuration UI Module: Vendor Performance Report UI | The vendor performance report functionality record the QC data per vendor. | This UI will show the Vendor performance report only if there is a PO attached and after ASN has been verified. |
Vendor Performance Code | Screen Configuration UI Module:Vendor Performance Code UI | The vendor performance code UI lets you create Vendor performance code and description |
|
Parameter Set Up for QC Check | Screen Configuration UI Module: RF Modules: rf.inbound.cwrfrecvlpnshpmt (Receive Shipment) rf.inbound.cwrfrecvlpnload (Receive Load) | RF Transaction that will be used for receiving will need to have the parameter for QC set up. Note: If QC is required for all received inventory, then all RF Receiving Transactions need to have the QC Parameter set up properly. An additional transaction can be set up without the QC configuration to allow the QC process to be occasionally skipped. |
|
QC Locations Set Up | Location Master | QC Locations must be set up for QC operations. During receiving, Inventory marked for QC will be located to a QC Location. |

Value Added Services Setup
The WMS VAS Functionality will allow marking LPNs for VAS during the receiving process. The VAS Requirements can be set up as follows:
- SKU Level (All LPNs with the specific SKU will be marked for VAS during receiving)
- Vendor Level (LPNs with the specific SKU will be marked for VAS if their shipment is linked to a vendor set up for VAS). Note: Vendors require Purchase Orders (POs) to be used.
- A WMS Activity will be set up for each VAS Activity required for inventory being received (i.e. Ironing, repacking, etc...)
- The VAS Groups define the different groups of VAS Activities. The VAS Group will have one or more VAS Activities based on group requirement.
For example, VAS Group 'Clothes-Flats' will have activities: (such as 'Ironing', 'Scensors', and 'Price Labels)
VAS Groups will be set up either at the SKU or Vendor Level depending of the Group's requirements.

VAS Groups Assignment to Items *Also see Master Configuration for Item Master | Item Master | The VAS Group can be used for each group of items requiring similar VAS Activities. The VAS Group will specify the list of VAS Activities to be done for that group. Once VAS Groups are identified, they need to be configured and assigned to items Note: This step may have be done in Item Master Set Up | In 'Item Master' add VAS Group Code to items *This can be done with the Item Interface Template or also with a Manual UI Entry in the 'Items' UI Module |
Option 1. VAS Groups Set Up at Vendor Level | Company VAS | Option 1 - Vendor Level - VAS Group Code linked to a Vendor. This can be used for items requiring VAS only for a specific vendor or vendors Items with a VAS Group set up at vendor level will only be marked for VAS if the shipment is linked to the specific vendor |

Item Fields Pre-Receiving Setup
Item fields can be required to be populated prior to receiving. When required item fields are set up, WMS will prevent receiving when the fields are not populated for the Item being received. Receiving will be allowed once the fields are updated/populated.
This is done at the facility level. This configuration applies to all companies within a facility.
Task Description | WMS Module | Overview/Comments | Task Details |
---|---|---|---|
