Reprint pick label functionality and additional fields added to lot entry

These enhancements were made to TWL to improve lot processing and to enable the reprinting of pick labels:

Reprinting pick labels

If a label is lost or requires updates, you can now reprint or make updates to the pick label.

A new menu option, Reprint Picking Lbl, is added to the Order Picking Main Menu, Pick Selection and Order Picking windows in TWL. Select this option to reprint or make updates to pick labels without needing to access a Distribution SX.e terminal.

Additional fields added to lot entry

Several new data fields are added to Product Extended Lot Number Setup and Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry in Distribution SX.e:

  • Country of Origin: The country in which the lot was manufactured, produced or grown.
  • Case Quantity: The quantity in each case for the specific lot. The case quantity for a product may vary based on the vendor.
  • Mfg Lot #: The lot number from the manufacturer. This may be different than the lot number assigned by the distributor.
After lot data records are updated in Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry these events occur:
  • TWL Stock Adjustment data is passed to Distribution SX.e through the WL Entry Batch Adjust Inventory Report, which either creates a new Product Extended Lot Number Setup record or adjusts existing Product Extended Lot Number Setup records as needed.
  • TWL Initial Data Load data is passed to Distribution SX.e, which either creates a new Product Extended Lot Number Setup record or adjusts existing Product Extended Lot Number Setup records as needed.
  • TWL Cycle Counting data is passed to Distribution SX.e, which creates a new Product Extended Lot Number Setup record or adjusts existing Product Extended Lot Number Setup records as needed.

The data is printed on product and shipment labels so it can be identified both in the warehouse and at the job site.

The pick label reprinting functionality and the additional lot entry fields are applied to both TWL and TWL RF.

Feature activation

Review these new TWL system parameters to activate the new data added to lot products:
  • 7511-Assign Country to Lots: added to activate the functionality of assigning the country in which the lot was manufactured. The parameter defaults as cleared.
