Transaction inquiry

The WL Transaction Inquiry shows all data communication files that are passed between the TWL module and the other modules. The inquiry starts with the WLET records, then drills down through the WLEH or WLEM (header) records, lines (WLEL), kits (WLELK), and serial/lots (WLELS). After all the items are transmitted, the WL Transaction Inquiry (WLIT) file (WLEH) becomes inactive to prevent redundant data from being transferred.

Use the WL Transaction Inquiry to periodically monitor communications. An error can occur at various levels during the interface process. View the communications with an error status in WL Transaction Inquiry if a purchase order is not updated as expected. After you determine the cause of the error, you may be required to change the status in WL Transaction Inquiry. When receiving data from TWL, an error can occur in these levels:

  • WLET Driver File
  • WLEM Master File Interface
  • WLEH Order Header Records
  • WLEL Line Item Records

If you change the status on a WLET, which is a master type record, the appropriate WLEM record is also changed. You cannot modify the status at the detail level. If the WLET is not a master type record and you update the WLET, then these attached records are changed:

  • WLEH
  • WLEL
  • WLELS
  • WLELK

Ask your TWL administrator for additional information about transaction file structure definitions.
