This screen allows a System Administrator to adjust a TrackID type.

Changing a TrackID type is not often done and should be done with CAUTION as it changes the behavior of the software when working with TrackIDs. |
TrackID types might occasionally need to change, for example, when a pick face Pickface bin location must change to a bulk bin location or when shelves are used within a Bulk Bin location.
Typically, every Bin created in DATASCOPE WMS must have a TrackID, and a TrackID which will either be scanned into a Bin or out of a Bin. If there is a rack of Bulk Bin locations , with shelves, and no existing TrackIDs will be moved into these Bulk Bins. But, but TrackIDs will be offloaded onto the individual shelves. To move stock onto these shelves; therefore, TrackIDs will be required for each shelve and the status will have to shelf. The status must change to a Pick face Pickface type so that the TrackID never becomes inactive, as you will always offload new Stock onto these shelves.
Enter the TrackID in the TrackID field, or use the lookup icon to locate the TrackID
Select TAB to move to the next field.
Notice that the The Current Type field will update automatically with that TrackID’s current typefor the selected TrackID.
Select a new type from the New Type drop-down. The following types exist:

TrackID
FUNCTIONALITY OVERVIEW
This screen has been developed to allow a super user or system administrator a "back door" route to adjust a Tracking ID's type. Changing a Tracking ID type is not often done and should be done with caution as it changes the behavior of the software when dealing with Tracking ID's.
There are three Tracking ID types available in the software. These are:
Normal Tracking ID
TrackID Type - this TrackIDs will automatically become inactive once the last stock item has been removed or if the pallet
is written off in a stock take or cycle count.
Picking
TrackID Type - is used for
TrackIDs that is
required during the picking process. For
example when a
Picker picks a
Picking Slip the picked stock is moved from the
Bin location to a new
TrackID that is linked to the
Picking Slip. The TrackID is automatically created when the
Picking Slip is first assigned
and is only used for that
Picking Slip and will become
inactive once the order is shipped and invoiced.
Pick Face
Pickface TrackID Type - these TrackIDs is linked to any
Pickface bin location. When
creating a
Pickface bin you
have the option to select to create a linked
TrackID, that is a
TrackID named the same as the bin location. These
TrackIDs can never become inactive
, even if all the
products within the bin (or on the linked
TrackID) has been picked
. The TrackID will remain active so that more inventory can be scanned
into this TrackID that is linked to the Pickface bin.
Shipping TrackID Type - these TrackIDs are only created in the
Shipping module for pallets and cartons of inventory that are being shipped to a customer or to another branch (SCT). Shipping
TrackIDs are very different to the other
TrackID types, as there is no stock for these pallets/boxes in SYSPRO
, as they have already been shipped.
An example of where this application would be used is the following. Lets say you wanted to create a rack of bulk bin locations but these bins have shelves in them and you will not be moving existing Tracking IDs into these bins but you will be offloading Tracking ID's onto the shelves. Due to the construct of DATASCOPE WMS every bin must have a Tracking ID. Either i am scanning one into the bin or i am scanning product off one tracking ID and onto another. So to move stock into these shelves, i would need to create a Tracking ID for each bin and i would need to change its status to a Pick Face type so that the tracking Id never becomes inactive.
Another example for this application is when changing bin location types from a pick face to a bulk bin location or vise versa
