Process type descriptions

A process type is the transmission type that identifies the master file or transaction file information being transmitted between Distribution SX.e and TWL.

This table shows the process type, indicates whether the transmission is sent or received, and provides a description of the source of the information transmitted:


Type	Direction	Description
Master	Send	Master records sent from the system to TWL. These files are included in the master file process: Product Warehouse Description Setup Product Setup Product Warehouse Product Setup Product Extended Product Cross Reference Setup Product UPC Number Setup SL Entry Update Products Report Vendor Setup Vendor Ship From Setup SA Table Code Value Setup
Order Drop Manager	Send	This type of transaction is created when you print an order for a TWL warehouse. These specific files are included in the picking process: Sales Entry Pick Tickets Report Transfer Entry Print Warehouse Transfer Report KP Entry Print Work Orders Report Purchase Entry Processing Print POs Report (Vendor Return) VA Entry Processing Internal Value Add Print Report VA Entry Processing Pick Tickets Report
Pre-Receive	Send	This type of transaction is created when you print a purchase order for a TWL warehouse. These specific files initiate the pre-receiving release: Purchase Entry Processing Print POs Report Sales Entry Pick Tickets Report [Customer Returns] Transfer Shipping Feedback Entry [Receiving Warehouse]
Ship	Send	A SHP transaction is released to TWL to update the order to shipped if all these circumstances exist: You are shipping from the order entry system or a shipping interface You have set the TWL carrier in TWL to Host
WT Exception	Send	Sent when a discrepancy occurs between the shipping warehouse and receiving warehouse, the product is flagged for a cycle count through the Transfer Exception Receipt Entry function.
Barcode	Receive	This transaction is received by the system to add, change, or remove barcodes from TWL.
Master synchronize	Receive	Master records sent from TWL to the system. The master file process includes this updated data: Case quantity Counter bin Error message Inner pack Kit build department Pallet quantity Product zone If applicable, the system updates the Product Warehouse Product Setup record. Synchronized information is displayed in WL Transaction Inquiry.
Packed Order	Receive	This transaction type is created when an entire order is packed and the carrier is managed by the host. The PAK transaction must be in WL Transaction Inquiry if you are using a shipping interface or if you are printing a custom system packing slip. During these processes, the PAK transaction updates the system with the actual quantity shipped for each line. A PAK transaction is not created in WL Transaction Inquiry for Counter Sales orders, regardless of the carrier shipping type that is assigned to the order. Counter Sales orders are typically not shipped.
Print Pack	Receive	This type is created when an order is picked in TWL, and can be removed and recreated multiple times to reprint packing lists without interfacing to a shipping interface. The option is to use the system Packing List and printer that are specified on the Carrier master record in TWL. The PRT transaction has the same functionality as the PAK transaction when the system is updated.
Received Order	Receive	This transaction is created after the receipt is complete and the receipt transaction (RT) is closed. In the system, the purchase order remains in Stage 2 (Printed) until the WL Entry Batch Receiving Report initiates these functions when receiving has been completed: Purchase Entry Receipt of Inventory Transfer Entry Receipt of Inventory Sales Order Entry (Customer Returns) KP Work Order Center Entry-Accept VA Entry Receipt of Inventory
Shipped Order	Receive	This transaction type is created when an order is ship-verified in TWL for a TWL-managed carrier. The ship-verify function is performed on each carton associated with an order. An order is updated to shipped stage in TWL after the last carton associated with the order is ship-verified. The order remains in Stage 2 (Picked) in the order entry system until the WL Entry Batch Shipping Report is run. Then the order is updated to Stage 3 (Shipped) if the transaction processes without error.
Stock Adjustment	Receive	This type of transaction is created after a TWL stock adjustment is completed. The system is updated when the WL Entry Batch Adjust Inventory Report is processed. These exceptions may occur: If the TWL and system quantities match, but the quantities are incorrect, make an adjustment on the RF and use a valid SA Table Code Value Setup adjustment code. If the TWL quantity is correct, but the system quantity is incorrect, make an adjustment in Product Qty Adjustments Entry. If the system quantity is correct but the TWL quantity is incorrect, make an adjustment on the RF with the TWL adjustment code. This affects the TWL quantity, but does not affect the system. Use of these scenarios should be extremely rare. Before making an adjustment to the system or TWL only, verify all transactions are processed.
