Initializing the warehouse

Note: You can run the WL Entry Batch Adjust Inventory Report in a pre-live environment. This capability is beneficial if you are using an RF unit to set up barcodes and update Product Warehouse Product Setup data before going live with your warehouse. The Warehouse Logistics section in Product Warehouse Product Setup is also available in a pre-live environment. Typically, you should use these capabilities after you run WL Administration Initialize Warehouse, but before you run an Initial Physical Inventory.

Select Warehouse Logistics > Administration > Initialize Warehouse.
In Warehouse, specify the TWL warehouse.
In Product Category, specify a category. Use the category to isolate your updates to a group of products. All products in the specified category are set up with the same information.
In Beginning Product and Ending Product, specify a range of products. Leave these fields blank to include all products. If you specified a product in the beginning field, then that product autopopulates the field.
Select Create WL Whse Master Record to start the release of the Product Warehouse Description Setup information to TWL and populate the TWL Configuration-Warehouse master record. When selected, you can transfer to WL Transaction Inquiry to monitor the transactions that are created.
Select Create WL Item Records to have the process access the records and fields from these functions that apply to the TWL Configuration-Item master record:
- Product Warehouse Product Setup
- Product Setup
- Product UPC Information Setup records
The data in WL Administration Initialize Warehouse overrides any existing data in the TWL system for each Product Warehouse Product Setup record that is created.

If you are setting up item data in a pre-live environment, then perform this task after business hours when no other processing is occurring. After the item release starts, clear the WL Live field in Product Warehouse Description Setup to enable standard system processing to occur.
Select Create WL Primary Bin Location in WL off ICSW Bin Locations to create primary bin locations only from the Product Warehouse Product Setup bin location #1 or #2. You must set up Product Warehouse Description Setup as a TWL warehouse. This option is not available if the warehouse is only using the RF receiving module. When TWL is fully implemented in the warehouse and the warehouse is live, bin locations are controlled by TWL.
Select Create Barcode Cross Reference Table in WL to start the release of the Product Extended Warehouse Cross Reference Setup barcode records when the WL Live field in Product Warehouse Description Setup is selected.
Select Create WL Vendor Master/Alt Address Records to start the release of the Vendor Setup and Vendor Ship From Setup records when the WL Live field in Product Warehouse Description Setup is selected.
Select Create WL Table Setup to start the release of the SA Table Code Value Setup-Return/Adjust Reasons and SA Table Code Value Setup-Reason Unavailable codes when the WL Live field in Product Warehouse Description Setup is selected.
Select Submit.
A message is displayed: Processing has been set to run in the background. You will now be taken to the WL Transaction Summary Report which can be executed to monitor the status of this initial load of data. Canceling here does not stop processing.
Click OK. You are redirected to the WL Transaction Summary Report-Reports Main page, where you can begin a One Time report setup. You can set a date range [WL Trans Date]. In the options, specify the warehouse. Select Send transactions, Receive transactions, or Both.
