Post-pick validation routines

Validation Routine	Definition
Shelf Life Comparison	When enabled, the application works through the following process to validate Shelf Life Comparison: Identify the Shelf Life Code Type for the item on the Item screen (Manufacturing or Expiration Date). Compare either the Manufacturing or Expiration date to the current date to calculate the shelf life. If the Shelf Life Code is Expiration Date, the calculated shelf life is compared to the Minimum Shelf Life defined on the Conditional Validation screen. If not defined on the Conditional Validation screen, the application uses the value on the Item record. When the calculated shelf life is less than the Minimum Shelf Life, the validation fails. When the calculated shelf life is greater than the Minimum Shelf Life, the validation passes. If the Shelf Life Code is Manufacturing Date, the calculated shelf life is compared to the Minimum Shelf Life defined on the Conditional Validation screen. If not defined on the Conditional Validation screen, the application uses the value on the Item record. When the calculated shelf life is less than the Minimum Shelf Life, the validation passes. When the calculated shelf life is greater than the Minimum Shelf Life, the validation fails.
Check Lot	To use this validation, modify the `prompts.ini` file to require that the lot be entered. Once entered, the application validates that the correct lot was returned if this validation is enabled. This routine works only with RF-directed picking.
Check Location	If enabled, the application verifies that the location you entered is the same as the location called for in the pick task or pick detail. If disabled, you can enter any location and the application accepts the entry. This does not cause the application to change anything about the pick task or pick detail; it simply ignores what you entered. This routine works only with RF-directed picking.
Check Item	If enabled, the application verifies that the Item you entered is the same as the Item called for in the pick task or pick detail. If disabled, you can enter any Item and the application accepts the entry. This does not cause the application to change anything about the pick task or pick detail; it simply ignores what you entered. This routine works only with RF-directed picking.
Check ID	If the application is set to keep the LPN in the pick slot (Lose ID is not set for this location and over-allocation is OFF), enabling this flag causes the application to check the entered ID versus the ID used on the pick or task detail to ensure you entered the correct ID. If disabled, you can enter any LPN and the application accepts the entry. This does not cause the application to change anything about the pick task or pick detail; it simply ignores what you entered. Only Movable Unit IDs are validated. This routine works only with RF-directed picking.
Update New LOT, LOC, ID	If enabled, you can enter a new lot, location, and ID for the pick task or pick detail. The application then verifies that there is available quantity for this change (the stock is not allocated on another order) and updates the pick detail with the newly entered information. If disabled, the application simply checks the lot, location, and ID based on the above mentioned settings. It should be noted that if this routine is enabled, the Check Lot, Check Location, and Check ID routines should not be activated. They are mutually exclusive.

Shelf Life Comparison

When enabled, the application works through the following process to validate Shelf Life Comparison:

Identify the Shelf Life Code Type for the item on the Item screen (Manufacturing or Expiration Date).
Compare either the Manufacturing or Expiration date to the current date to calculate the shelf life.
If the Shelf Life Code is Expiration Date, the calculated shelf life is compared to the Minimum Shelf Life defined on the Conditional Validation screen. If not defined on the Conditional Validation screen, the application uses the value on the Item record. When the calculated shelf life is less than the Minimum Shelf Life, the validation fails. When the calculated shelf life is greater than the Minimum Shelf Life, the validation passes.
If the Shelf Life Code is Manufacturing Date, the calculated shelf life is compared to the Minimum Shelf Life defined on the Conditional Validation screen. If not defined on the Conditional Validation screen, the application uses the value on the Item record. When the calculated shelf life is less than the Minimum Shelf Life, the validation passes. When the calculated shelf life is greater than the Minimum Shelf Life, the validation fails.

Check Lot

To use this validation, modify the prompts.ini file to require that the lot be entered. Once entered, the application validates that the correct lot was returned if this validation is enabled. This routine works only with RF-directed picking.

Check Location

If enabled, the application verifies that the location you entered is the same as the location called for in the pick task or pick detail. If disabled, you can enter any location and the application accepts the entry. This does not cause the application to change anything about the pick task or pick detail; it simply ignores what you entered. This routine works only with RF-directed picking.

Check Item

If enabled, the application verifies that the Item you entered is the same as the Item called for in the pick task or pick detail. If disabled, you can enter any Item and the application accepts the entry. This does not cause the application to change anything about the pick task or pick detail; it simply ignores what you entered. This routine works only with RF-directed picking.

Check ID

If the application is set to keep the LPN in the pick slot (Lose ID is not set for this location and over-allocation is OFF), enabling this flag causes the application to check the entered ID versus the ID used on the pick or task detail to ensure you entered the correct ID. If disabled, you can enter any LPN and the application accepts the entry. This does not cause the application to change anything about the pick task or pick detail; it simply ignores what you entered. Only Movable Unit IDs are validated. This routine works only with RF-directed picking.

Update New LOT, LOC, ID

If enabled, you can enter a new lot, location, and ID for the pick task or pick detail. The application then verifies that there is available quantity for this change (the stock is not allocated on another order) and updates the pick detail with the newly entered information. If disabled, the application simply checks the lot, location, and ID based on the above mentioned settings. It should be noted that if this routine is enabled, the Check Lot, Check Location, and Check ID routines should not be activated. They are mutually exclusive.
