WMS extension translation sets

The extension translation sets are used to convert values between BODs and the WMS application. For example, status codes in WMS are numeric values, and the document status codes in the BODs are text values. The WMS extension must convert the code ‘95’ Shipment Order status, Shipped Complete to the shipped BOD status code. WMS requires UOMs to be all uppercase. Hence, a value of Each used in a BOD must be translated to EACH or EA in WMS. WMS is installed with Infor standard values in the translation sets. Except for special requirements, most of the translation sets do not require to be modified.

Translation sets are maintained at the Enterprise level. You can access the Extension Translation Sets screen from the Translation tab of the Administration menu. The related values are combined by the Translation ID. For example, the Translation ID for UOMs is WMSUOMConstants.

The value that appears in the BOD must match the value specified in the ION External Value column and specify the value in the WMS Internal Value column to the value that you defined in the WMS application.

Note: These values are used for processing BODs flowing in and out of WMS. Therefore, you must not duplicate a value in the ION External Value or the WMS Internal Value columns. Otherwise, the system does determine which value to use.

The Extension Translation Sets are also used for the warehouse location ID and is an important setting for WMS BOD flows. When the Facility Record is set at the Warehouse level, you must update the Extension Translation Sets parameter where TranslationID equals BusLocationToWMSWarehouse. The ‘SCE Internal Value’ for this parameter must be the same as the Facility Record ID specified at the Warehouse level.

The default value for warehouse IDs is WHSE followed by the number of the warehouse such as WHSE1, and WHSE2. Infor ERPs specifies a different identifier (ID) for each ERP externally controlled warehouse. In this case, you must update the default ID value to the Infor ERP warehouse ID. For each warehouse, update the SCE Internal Value to the ID value that is assigned to a warehouse by Infor ERP.
