| Parameter Name | Values | Example | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alias search - Alias qualifiers to include |
Any alias qualifier (multi) *ALL (include all) *BLANK This parameter is only applicable to alias categories 2 and 3. Alias
search result is filtered based on this parameter.
Note: This parameter is only applicable for Move, Receive, and Pick and
Pack transactions.

EA13;DU14;UPC or EA13;DU14;*BLANK or *ALL |
*ALL |
| Alias search - Enable option to list items |
0=No 1=Yes. For one alias category 2=Yes. For all alias categories in search sequence If set to 1: Display list if alias category of first match in search sequence is connected to multiple items. Only items connected to that alias category are displayed. If set to 2: Display list of all items connected to alias categories included in Alias search sequence parameter. If Alias search sequence parameter contains 0 but not first, and at least one numeric value: Item is included in the list if scanned data is also an item. If alias is connected to same item but different alias categories, only one item will display. It will work like the item connected to alias category of first match in the list based on Alias search sequence parameter. If set to 1/2: It will work like 0 if Alias search sequence parameter is set to *DEF,
*OFF or “0” (item only).
Note: This parameter is only applicable for Move, Receive, and Pick and
Pack transactions.

| Alias search sequence |
*DEF: Alias must be unique and must exist only once for all alias categories. 0-88: Any alias category (1-88) and 0 for item (multi) *OFF: No alias support, assume item input always. Alias categories: 1: Popular number 2: EAN number 3: External database (not use by M3) 4: Manufacturer’s item number 5: Supplier’s item number 6: Customer’s item number 7: Assortment 9: EDI partner’s item number 84-87: As defined in MMS024 (Fashion) 88: Style number (Fashion) Example: If set to “0;N;M”: Initially, verify if the scanned data is an item. If not, verify if the scanned data is an alias with category N. If the scanned data is not an alias with category N, verify if the scanned data is an alias with category M. If set to “N;M;0”: Initially, verify if the scanned data is an alias with category N. If not, verify if the scanned data is an alias with category M. If the scanned data is not an alias with category M, verify if the scanned data is an item. If set to “N;0;M”: Initially, verify if the scanned data is an alias with category N. If not, verify if the scanned data is an item. If the scanned data is not an item, verify if the scanned data is an alias with category M. Note: When input non multi data barcode in list screen, always verify if the
scanned data can be used to filter records. If so, the system does not
validate for an alias (regardless of setting).

| Default Facility |
*M3 (Current behavior) Facility value will be retrieved from User. Open (MNS150) of M3 BE. Fixed value (Any) X;O X refers to the selected value and O for override Examples: B01;O, *M3;O With this setting, it overrides the parameter settings defined at facility and/or warehouse in the User parameters of Users form (Form: “FTUsersMaint”). General note: If set to invalid value, the parameter will reset to its default value, *M3. |
A01 | *M3 (current behavior) |
| Default Warehouse |
*M3 (Current behavior) Warehouse value will be retrieved from User. Open (MNS150) of M3 BE. Fixed value (Any) X;O X refers to the selected value and O for override Examples: B01;O, *M3;O With this setting, it overrides the parameter settings defined at facility and/or warehouse in the User parameters of Users form (Form: “FTUsersMaint”). General note: If set to invalid value, the parameter will reset to its default value, *M3. |
001 | *M3 (current behavior) |
| Tile mode |
*STD: Standard value.
Character unit is set to 50 and the layout is set to Tile mode. Tile mode
is set if character units is <=50, else it is set to grid mode. Number
of character units vary depending on the device.
Note: *STD is the default value of the parameter that is used in both User
parameters and Global parameters.
Fixed value (numeric): For a
fixed value, the layout is always set to the defined character units.
Tile mode is set if character units is <=50, else it is set to grid
mode. For example: 70.
Note: Only whole numbers are accepted.
*ALW: Layout is always set to
tile mode.
Note: Tile mode is best used for portrait orientation.
*NVR: Layout is always set to grid mode. X;O where X refers to the selected values and O for override. For example: *ALW;O. This configuration is applicable only in the Global Parameters form “ICGlobalParameters”. With this setting, an application overrides the parameter settings
defined in the User parameters of Users form (“FTUsersMaint”).
Note: If set to blank or invalid value, the parameter resets to its default
value *STD.
