End-of-Day Configuration options

You have several options for generating and managing the logs, report files, and text files available in the log directory. The TWL Configuration-End of Day-End of Day Configuration provides these options:

• Create Item History: This option enables the creation of Item History records during the execution of the EOD process.
• Enable File Retention Cleanup: Each file that is passed between the system and TWL is defined in the file retention system. Although we recommend you remove old data from all of your TWL warehouses, you can retain the data in specific warehouses, such as a test warehouse.
• Create Cycle Counts: This option controls the cycle count cleanup based on warehouse and schedules daily cycle counts. The EOD process uses the settings in TWL Execution-Cycle Count-Setup to configure count rotations.

  You can assign a list of product categories that are excluded from the EOD process when the process schedules the daily cycle count. If you stratify inventory by product, then all products in the warehouse are compared with the list of excluded product categories.

  If you verify receipt quantities of new products, then you can use parameter 6262, Update Item Count if New Receipt, to exclude these products from the next cycle count run that EOD creates. The Last Count field is updated with the current date on the TWL Configuration-Item-Miscellaneous record only if any type of count is completed for all locations within a 48-hour time period. If prior receipts were recorded for the product, the item is not included on the next day’s cycle count.

• Create Discrepancy Counts: This option contains logic that automatically creates cycle count waves for all discrepancies that occur in the selected company and warehouse up to one week prior to generating the EOD process. When the cycle count wave is generated, the discrepancies are removed. This logic is independent of the standard EOD cycle count ABC classification of products or locations.

  You can also manually select and create discrepancy cycle count waves with settings in TWL Execution-Inventory Discrepancy.

• Clean Item Allocations: Item allocation records occur when a pick request is not completely processed because the database is disconnected from the RF unit. If these records are not cleaned up, then they continue to reserve available inventory until they are removed from the system.

  Select this option to have item allocation records, that are associated with orders that are completely shipped, looked for. If the item allocation record is associated with a work order, and the work order has been shipped or removed, then the item allocation records are removed.

• Create File Transaction Reports: The report lists who does what kind of transaction and how often. Because these reports are created and accumulate in the log directory, you can manually remove or move them to an archive. Only run these reports for your live warehouses.
• Clean Untied Comments: When orders are purged through the EOD function, you can remove the associated comments by selecting this option for the appropriate warehouse.
