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).

If user parameter setting is blank, use global parameter.

0: No

1: Yes

When set to 1, the application allows user to browse multiple tabs and perform action on the selected tab such as exit, new, or open previous transaction. For Receive, it is possible to open multiple instances using multiple unique transaction profiles.

A hamburger icon is placed on the upper right hand corner of all Factory Track M3 forms. This icon displays the following tab actions:

  • EXIT: clears the state of current transaction and exits to main menu
  • NEW: keeps the state of current transaction and exits to main menu.

When NEW option is selected, the current screen is displayed as the last state of current transaction. In some cases, however, when NEW is triggered from a generic screen such as Browse, the previous screen of Browse is displayed as the last state of current transaction.

TRANSACTION X – keeps the state of current transaction, and opens the selected transaction in its last remembered state. Maximum limit for open transactions is set to 3. It is not possible to open more transactions without closing the opened ones. NEW is not available in the tab actions when maximum limit for open transactions is reached.

Tab actions in main menu include the open transactions only. EXIT and NEW options are not available.

Navigation: The list is triggered when clicking on the hamburger icon or by clicking the equivalent configuration set in Special Value3 of ‘Function Key Action Values’. The actions can be navigated using up or down keys and selected by clicking the equivalent configuration set in Submit Form of ‘Function Key Action Values’.
