About TWL Web module setup

Access the TWL Web module from the Menu in the Distribution SX.e web client.

To begin implementation of the TWL module, use TWL Web module to set up master records and system-wide parameters. In the Distribution SX.e web client Menu, the TWL Web module functions are organized into these categories:

  • TWL Administration: Administration-related processes, such as managing RF employees, reviewing communication with other modules from TWL, or managing functional setup.
  • TWL Configuration: Managing the configuration of the warehouse, such as the locations and goods that the location contains.
  • TWL Execution: Processing for maintaining the integrity of the inventory in your warehouse.
  • TWL Inbound: Processing specific storage and delivery of goods coming into a warehouse.
  • TWL Outbound: Processing specific to goods going out of the warehouse.

The type of operator who uses the TWL Web module may perform these tasks:

  • Manage the timing of warehouse functions, such as picking and cycle counts
  • Monitor activity and orders
  • Troubleshoot inventory issues

Most of the setup procedures are performed from the TWL Administration and TWL Configuration menus. You must perform a series of initial setups of master records in the TWL Web module. Then, you specify more detailed settings within these master records:

  • Company
  • Warehouse
  • Shift department
  • Employee
  • Warehouse zones
  • Locations
  • Shipping dock
  • Adjustment codes
  • Return codes
  • Printers
  • Station
  • System parameters

After implementation, operators can also use TWL Web module to perform these tasks:
