Configuring User Parameters

Use the User Extensions form to configure settings for individual users.

  1. Open the User Extensions form.
  2. To configure parameters for an existing user, select a user ID from the grid. To configure parameters for a new user, select a blank line from the grid and specify a user name in the User Name field.
  3. Specify or review this information:
    User Type
    Select a user type to indicate which forms the user can access.
    Employee
    The code or ID of the employee. This ID is also used to identify the employee number of the user on the shop floor. If the ID is not linked to an employee, the shop floor considers the employee as a generic user.
    Employee name
    The Employee name.
    Warehouse
    Specify a default warehouse for this user. If the Trans Fill Whse parameter is selected on the Transaction Set Maintenance form, this warehouse will be used by default instead of the default warehouse specified for the transaction.

    Specify a default pick location for this user.
    User Initials
    Specify the user initials. These initials are used by the application to identify a user who performs transactions. This is a mandatory field.

    Work Center
    Specify a work center for this user. Shop floor considers this as the default work center.

    ERP Document Printer
    Specify the default printer that must be used for to print ERP documents. For example, shipping documents.
    Note: User cannot verify the contents of this field, so the data(as defined by the ERP) must be entered correctly in this field.
