Setup overview

All of the setups that are required to implement the entire TWL system are also required to run the TWL Receiving-Only module. The exceptions are bin location setups and assignments. Because receipts are performed to pallets on the dock, no other location setup is required.

In the Product Warehouse Description Setup record, the WL Live setting differentiates a TWL Receiving-Only warehouse from a standard system warehouse. The WL Location setting defines communication variables that enable data sharing between the system and TWL.

The same records that are required by the standard system, such as Product Setup and Product Warehouse Product Setup, are also required to perform receiving in the TWL warehouse. WL Initialize Warehouse Administration sends the system table values to populate corresponding TWL records.

When you are ready to go live, existing receiving transactions are retained for historical purposes and other data is removed accordingly.
