Enter Warehouse Task Setup
Explanation
In order to make the warehouse management work, it is necessary
to specify a number of default values for the different task types. This is done in
Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse
Task Type Setup. These values are specific for the site and task type.
The status of the task type setup decides whether the warehouse
tasks should be created. If the status is Active, the tasks are created, while if the
status is Inactive, the tasks are not created. The task type setup is also used in the
planning and assignment of the warehouse tasks.
The warehouse task type setup can be modified at any time and
will then affect the warehouse management immediately.
Prerequisites
- The site that you are planning to use must have been entered in the
Site window.
- The site also must be connected to
your user in the Sites per
User window.
System Effects
- The Task Type Setup Status will decide if
warehouse tasks of this kind will be created in the system. If the value is Active, the
task type parameters are used for the site and task type. If the value is Inactive, the
task type cannot be used for the specified site and the rest of the parameters are
removed.
- Default Priority for Warehouse Task is used when
warehouse tasks are assigned to warehouse workers and is one of the factors that decides
in which order the tasks will be assigned to warehouse workers.
- The value in Warehouse Task decides which status the
warehouse task has when it is created.
- The Default Time Needed per Warehouse Task Line describes
how long it takes to execute a warehouse task of this type and affects when the task must
be started in order to be ready on time.
