Configuring Reason Codes

Reason codes are used as identifiers for performing certain transactions, such as modifying the quantity of an LPN. Reason codes must be added at the Parent company level.

1. Go to the “Reason Codes” screen.
2. Click the Create button.
3. Populate the code and description.
4. Click “Save”.

Reason Code Parameters

You may also configure reason codes that are required for certain transactions. These parameters are located in the “Company Parameters” screen.

• CYCLE_COUNT_REASON_CODE: Defines the reason code for performing a cycle count.
• DFLT_BATCH_EXP_ADJ_REASON_CODE: Defines the reason code for modifying a container’s batch expiry date.
• SHORT_REASON_CODE: Defines the reason code for performing a short pick.

Configure Reason Code for RF Change LPN SKU Transactions

When you are managing inventory via RF Change LPN SKU (rf.inbound.cwrfchangeskulpn) transaction, the system captures the reason code. The reason code information mentioned within the RF Change LPN SKU transaction is recorded in the “IHT- 17 Inventory Adjusted post verification” Inventory History Transaction.

To configure the system to capture Reason Code in the RF Change LPN SKU transaction, do the following:

1. Go to RF Change LPN SKU (rf.inbound.cwrfchangeskulpn) module.
2. Configure the “prompt-for-reason-code” parameter to “Yes”.

   This enables the system to prompt for a reason code while performing the RF Change LPN SKU transaction.

   Note: By default, the “prompt-for-reason-code” is set as a blank. If the “prompt-for-reason-code” is set as a blank or “No”, the system will not prompt for a reason code.
3. To auto populate a reason code in the IHT -17, set the “default-reason-code” parameter with a valid reason code value.
   Note: If“default-reason-code” parameter is not configured, then the system behavior is as follows:

   prompt-for-reason-code parameter is set to Yes/No	IHT-17 record
   Yes	If you add a reason code in the RF Change LPN SKU transaction’s reason code prompt, then the system generates the IHT-17 record with the input reason code.
   No	IHT-17 record doesn’t populate a reason code.
