TWL RF upgraded to HTML5
The TWL RF device user interface is now upgraded to use HTML5 web markup language.
The HTML5 upgrade provides for controlled data updates while keeping application functionality consistent for existing users. Some user interface changes are made to enable the program to run in a web environment. Using HTML5 standards provides for a more modern looking user interface. Previously, the TWL RF module was presented as a character-based user interface (CHUI).
- Upgraded login security
- Improved label printing functionality
- Reorganized questions and prompts before data update
- Reduced prompts by presenting tables to the user in work order creation
- Icons added for notes in picking and receiving
- Occasional event sequence change
- Rush and Alternate warehouse notifications are now informational
- Use of shortcuts in a web environment with new menu options instead of shortcut keys
Approximately 130 TWL RF functions have been upgraded.
- Active Receipt Lines
When a user selects a line to receive in the RF, its status is changed to active to notify other users that the line is no longer available. If the user leaves the Receipt window by closing the web browser, it is left in an active stage and other users are unable to access the line. Use the Active Receipt Lines search option to select the lines and then click Reopen Lines to release them.
- In Pick Picks
When a user selects a line to pick in the RF, its status is changed to in-pick to notify other users that the pick is no longer available. If the user leaves the Picking window by closing the web browser, the pick is left in an in-pick stage, preventing other users from accessing the record. Use the In Pick Picks option to release these picks.
- Active Putaway
During the beginning of a putaway operation, a record is created to link to the original receipt. If the user leaves the Putaway window by closing the web browser, the putaway is left active, not allowing other users to access the putaway. Use the Active Putaway option to release these putaway records.
- Active Replenishments
During a 1-step replenishment or the first step of a 2-step replenishment, the movement record is marked active after the user starts working on it. If the user exits the Replenishment window by closing the web browser, the movement record is left active. Use the Active Replenishments option to release these movement records.
- Close Receipts
The Close Receipts search option provides a broad overview of open receipts needing to be closed. Closing receipts in this function must only be done by the warehouse administrator. Select a receipt in the grid and click .
A new set of hotkeys has now been implemented as part of the HTML5 upgrade to allow the user to expedite the time it takes to perform certain tasks. Some of these new hotkeys include:
Hotkey | Function |
---|---|
Alt+L | Set label printer |
Alt+A | Add a note |
F4 or X or RF browser back button | Back |
Feature activation
RF device users must now sign in with a Distribution SX.e login instead of using their TWL RF Employee login. The TWL RF Employee record is still created, but the TWL RF Employee ID must be assigned to the user's SA Operator Setup record to support single sign-on access to TWL RF.
To enable access to TWL Execution-RF Admin Maintenance, you must apply the appropriate security permissions to the user's SA Operator Setup record. We recommend you limit access to this new function to only warehouse administrators.
We recommend you review your RF devices to verify they are HTML5-compatible. See the Infor Distribution SX.e Hardware and Software Recommendations Guide.
TWL documentation is updated to reflect any changes to procedures where an RF device is utilized.
