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

Warning

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.

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:

  1. Normal Tracking ID

- A Tracking ID type of Normal would be assigned to any normal Tracking Id that
    • TrackID Type - this TrackIDs will automatically become inactive once the last stock item has been removed or if the pallet

was
    • is written off in a stock take or cycle count.

 
    • Picking

Tracking ID - This type
    • TrackID Type - is used for

any Tracking ID
    • TrackIDs that is

used
    • required during the picking process. For

instance
    • example when a

user
    • Picker picks a

picking slip
    • Picking Slip the picked stock is moved from the

bin
    • Bin location to a new

Tracking ID
    • TrackID that is linked to the

picking slip. Often this Tracking ID
    • Picking Slip. The TrackID is automatically created when the

picking slips
    • Picking Slip is first assigned

. These Tracking IDs are
    • and is only used for that

picking slip
    • Picking Slip and will become

In activated
    • inactive once the order is shipped and invoiced.

   
  1. Pick Face

Tracking ID - These are the Tracking Id's
    • Pickface TrackID Type - these TrackIDs is linked to any

pick face
    • Pickface bin location. When

you create
    • creating a

pick face
    • Pickface bin you

generally will
    • have the option to select to create a linked

Tracking ID which
    • TrackID, that is a

Tracking ID
    • TrackID named the same as the bin location. These

Tracking ID's
    • TrackIDs can never become inactive

. Even
    • , even if all the

product
    • products within the bin (or on the linked

Tracking ID
    • TrackID) has been picked

the Tracking ID will still
    • . The TrackID will remain active so that more inventory can be scanned

on this Tracking ID in the future. Shipping Tracking Id - These Tracking IDs
    • into this TrackID that is linked to the Pickface bin.

    • Shipping TrackID Type - these TrackIDs are only created in the

shipping
    • Shipping module for pallets and cartons of inventory that are being shipped to a customer or to another branch (SCT). Shipping

labels
    • TrackIDs are very different to the other

Tracking ID
    • TrackID types, as there is no stock for these pallets/boxes in SYSPRO

-
    • , as they have already been shipped.

 Selected Update to update the Tracking ID

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
