Setting up a TWL warehouse

You can create a warehouse name and address initially, and then edit the Warehouse master record, filling in details as you set up other records.

  1. Log into the TWL company you created.
  2. Select TWL Configuration > Warehouse.
  3. Click New.
  4. In Company, the company you are logged into autopopulates the field.
  5. In Warehouse, specify a new four-character warehouse ID. You may want to include the acronym, TWL, in the ID.
  6. Click Save.
  7. In General, specify this information:
    Name
    Specify a descriptive name. The TWL warehouse can be a site, building, yard, or area within a warehouse. The name is used on shipping documents to identify the sending location.
    Address, City, State, Zip Code
    The mailing address of the warehouse.
    Country
    The country in which the warehouse resides.
    Region
    A method of categorizing your sales region. The region is also used for reporting purposes.
    Damaged Goods Zone
    Defines the zone where damaged inventory is placed. The zone must be set up in the TWL Configuration-Warehouse Zone master record.
    Receiving Zone
    Defines the zone where received inventory is placed. This zone can be overridden at the item level from the TWL Configuration-Item master record. The zone must be set up in the TWL Configuration-Warehouse Zone master record.
    Parcel Management Maintained By
    Specify whether shipping is maintained by the Host, which is a shipping interface, or by TWL.
    Q/A Inspection
    Select this option if you want everything received for this warehouse to be routed to inspection.
  8. Select the Active option for the system to process information for this warehouse.
  9. In the Warehouse Parameters section, specify this information, or as recommended by your Infor business consultant:
    1. In Put Away Type, specify Directed.

      Directed put away is guided by the system to maximize space utilization and initially defaults. Non-Directed put away is at your discretion.

    2. In Packing Type, specify Pick to Pack.

      Pick to Pack indicates items are placed in a shipping container as they are picked. By default, the same ShipTo name and address for all items put into the carton is validated.

      Pick to Tote enables items to be placed in an intermediate container. When the order has been picked, the items are packed in a shipping container.

    3. In Pick Labels, specify Pre-Printed.

      Pick Labels can be printed when orders are dropped. The default is Pre-Printed.

      On-Demand enables pickers to print labels as they require them.

    4. In Pallet ID, specify Pre-Printed.

      Pre-Printed labels indicates the vendor has bar-coded each pallet, or that your receiving operators should attach a pre-printed barcode as inventory is received. We recommend that you use Pre-Printed labels to facilitate receiving.

      System Assigned enables labels to be printed on the receiving dock as the inventory is received.

    5. In Labels, select the label generator.

      Select EPP/IDM Integration to generate barcode label output using Enterprise Printing Platform or Infor Document Management.

      See Integrating TWL with Enterprise Printing Platform and Integrating TWL with Infor Document Management.

      Select Standard Zebra Printing to generate legacy barcode label output on Zebra printers.

    6. Clear the Pick From Dock option.

      Pick From Dock enables you to fill orders as soon as goods are received.

    7. Clear the Allow Over Picking if the Item Allows It option.

      Select this option only to enable over picking from the warehouse. You must also select the Allow Over Shipping option for an individual product in TWL Configuration-Item-Miscellaneous-Outbound. Be aware of the setting for counter sales in Picking system-parameter 7013, Picking Counter Sales Over Pick Quantity.

      To allow any over picking at all in your warehouse, set the warehouse to allow over picking. Then, you can allow or disallow over picking by individual product. You can disable any over picking for all counter sales with the parameter 7013 setting, even if the product is set to allow.
