TWL Specific Settings - Interface / Defaults / Notes

Allow Labor Product Change After Shipping

Select this option to add, maintain, or delete a labor line to an order that is in Shipped status in TWL. Use this functionality to, for example, add labor to assist with packaging or shipping, change a freight amount, delete equipment no longer required for loading. To add a labor line, you must unship the order in Sales Shipping Feedback Entry. Maintain the order in Sales Order Entry, then ship the order again in Sales Shipping Feedback Entry. TWL is not updated with these labor line changes. If necessary, use the manual process to update TWL.

This option is restricted specifically to labor lines. Because this order is in Shipped stage in TWL, standard procedure still prevents you from changing quantities, adding non-labor lines, or deleting an order. If the option is selected and you attempt to make these types of changes, an error is displayed: WL Order in Process - Only Labor Products can be Added/Changed/Deleted (6560). You cannot save those changes. If the order has been invoiced, you cannot make any changes to the order.

Default GL Operator

The initials that you specify in this option are the default value for the Picked Initials field in Sales Shipping Feedback Entry. This value is used to open journals.

Do Not Download Scrap Returns
Select this option to prevent sales order return lines with a Return Type reason code set to Scrap from being dropped to TWL for receiving. This also prevents the creation of backorders for the return sales order lines designated with the Scrap reason code. This option affects all TWL warehouses. You can set up the Return Adjust Reason codes in SA Table Code Value Setup.
Download Zero Quantity Lines for Order Manager to Drop

If you print packing lists from TWL, select this option to see all lines on an order. All lines are downloaded to TWL, including zero quantity lines. Do not select this option if you do not want zero quantity lines downloaded to TWL. Zero quantity lines do not display on RF screens either. To print zero quantity lines on pick tickets, select the Print Pick Ticket Line Items When Quantity Shipped is 0 option in SA Administrator Options-Documents-Sales Orders-Printing.

New Part Default Zone

The code you specify for this setting is displayed on new product records that are created in these functions:

  • Product Warehouse Product Setup
  • Product Adjust Non-stock/Direct Order Entry
  • Sales Order Entry
  • PD Administrator Automatic Pricing

Use the WL New Products Report to find the product records that contain the new item default zone. After the new parts are identified, determine whether to create primary locations and assign a new zone before you receive the item.

Send Customer Notes with the Order

Select this option to send customer notes from the Customer Setup record to TWL for display in picking or packing. During the process of downloading the order to TWL, order notes and line comments are automatically sent to TWL for display. If you select this option, Customer Setup notes are added to the order notes. Customer Setup notes display first, and then the order notes are displayed. Only 3 ½ lines of notes are displayed.

Send ICSP Product Notes with the Picking Lines

Select this option to download printable notes from the Product Setup record and order line comments to TWL when you print the order or transfer.

Send ICSP Product Notes with the Receipt Lines

Select this option to download product notes to TWL when downloading a purchase order. You must also select the Print option on the Display Notes window to download the notes.

TWL Specific Settings - TWL Shipping

Use 3rd Line of Address in TWL Interface

The third address line supports international addresses. Select this option to include the third address line in the shipping and receiving address. Verify that your software has been set up to accommodate the third address line

Clear this option if one of these conditions apply:

  • You do not require the third address line.
  • You use a shipping interface that cannot accommodate a third address line.

WL Settings - Returns and Orders on Hold

Approve Type for Customer Returns Placed on Hold

Specify a hold code for return orders automatically placed on hold. You can release the return in Sales Credit Release Inquiry after the vendor gives you credit, and then invoice the order so the customer receives credit.

Approve Type for Zero Shipped Orders Placed on Hold

When an order has zero shipped quantities, it is automatically placed on hold before it is transferred to TWL. This is so you can locate the problem quantity and fix it. You can then approve the order and reprint it with the original products, quantities, and ties. The TWL interface can then drop, pick, and pack the order.

Use this field to specify the default hold code for zero shipped orders. The default value for this field is z, but you can change it. If you clear the field, z is used as a default hold code.

Hold PO/RMs for Manual Release

After a vendor return (PO RM) has been packed or shipped in TWL, the return is uploaded to the system. This depends on the host/TWL shipping method. If you do not select this option, PO RMs are automatically processed through WL Transaction Inquiry and the WL Entry Batch Receiving Report. If you select this option, PO RMs are held in vendor return status in WL Transaction Inquiry. Holding the PO RM provides time for these activities:

  • The customer return to be received
  • The customer order to be invoiced
  • The vendor return to be processed against the unavailable stock in the system

After you release the return by changing the WL Transaction Inquiry status to activate, the WL Entry Batch Receiving Report processes the transaction.

Type of Returns to Place on Hold

Select the type of customer returns to place on hold. If you select All, all Return Merchandise (RM) orders and sales orders with return lines are placed on hold. If you select Vendor, customer returns with a vendor return type are placed on hold.

If you select either All or Vendor, you must specify the default hold code in the Approve Type for Customer Returns Placed on Hold field.

WL Settings - Processing

Purge WL Transaction Inquiry When They Become Inactive

Select this option to immediately purge WL Transaction Entry records and all associated records as soon as they become inactive.

You can also use the WL Delete Transmissions Report to delete inactive transactions.

Note: If you do not select this option, inactive and message transactions are automatically purged from WL Transaction Inquiry when the Distribution SX.e application is updated to a new version. A conversion program is initiated by the Infor Cloud Operations team each time an updated version of Distribution SX.e is applied to your production tenant. This conversion program purges all inactive transactions that are 180 days and older. Message transactions that are 90 days and older are also removed. This is to prevent the database from filling up with processed records and impacting system performance.
