Pre-ship validation

If validation is enabled, the application works through the following steps to identify and process the appropriate validations. All of these steps are completed before the application finalizes the shipment confirmation.

  • First, the application looks for any routines to be run in which the Customer, Owner, and Item fields are all populated (not blank). If the routine is defined and is enabled, the application runs the validation and completes the process.
  • If the above conditions were not met, the application searches for any routines to be run in which the Customer, Owner, and Item fields are all blank. If the routine is defined and enabled, the application runs the validation and completes the process.
  • If the above search was unsuccessful, there are no Pre-shipment Validations to be done.
  • If the validation fails, a Validation Failed message displays on either the workstation or RF device. The status of the order remains as it was prior to the attempt to ship.
  • If no errors are encountered, the shipment is updated and the order status is set to 9.
  • The application ships with two pre-shipment validation routines: Ship Group Validation or Shelf Life Comparison. The settings for the Customer, Owner, and Item fields are blank. The validation routines default to Disabled.
