TrackID Type Update [WHS041]

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

TrackID types might occasionally need to change, for example, when a 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, which will either be scanned into or out of a Bin. If there is a rack of Bulk Bin locations with shelves, no existing TrackIDs will be moved into these Bulk Bins. But, TrackIDs will be offloaded onto the individual shelves; therefore, TrackIDs will be required for each shelf. The status must change to a Pickface type so 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.

• The Current Type field will update automatically for the selected TrackID.

• Select a new type from the New Type drop-down. The following types exist:

  • Normal 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.

  • 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.
