WMS Form Layouts

WMS Form Layouts are editing forms that allow users to specify what controls are visible on the main WMS forms (i.e. ones accessed from the main menu), the order of the controls, default control that will be focused on after scanning, default flag values, and even sort the onscreen display order to further streamline WMS processes. These customized layouts can be controlled down to User Groups or individual Users.

Within the main application, current layouts can me managed via the grid layout or new layouts can be added. When adding a new layout, the user will need to select what User or User Group this will be applicable for and which user form will be modified. Upon selecting a form, the grid will populate the fields available to that form in WMS. The individual fields can now have their visibility toggled, display order sequenced, and in the case of flags, select whether they default as checked or unchecked.

WMS Form Layout form

Once users click the "Add" or "Modify" buttons they will be presented with WMS Form Layout form. If creating a new form layout, the form opens with the Receive PO WMS form as the default option and lists all the fields available to that transaction on the scanner. Users can change the selection via the "Form" field located at the bottom of the grid.

Field/Flag	Description
Form For	Indicates the general selection of users that the WMS form will be used for. Options include All Users, Specific User, and User Group.
User Group/User	Select the specific user or user group to which the user version of the WMS form layout will be assigned, as effected by the Form For field above. Differences are as follows: Selecting "All Users" in the Form For field will grey this field out as it is not required. Selecting "Specific User" in the Form For field will make this field become a search box for valid system users. Selecting "User Group" in the Form For field will make this field become a search box for valid system user groups.
Barcode Format	Search box to select a valid Barcode Format.
Form	Indicates the WMS form that is being displayed in the grid. Users may use the pick list to select additional WMS forms.
Save Type	Select the method of saving between Save and Save / Reset. Defaults to Save / Reset which implements current process of clearing the screen after the transaction is saved. Save option will bring up the same previously open transaction, in order to pick up where you left off. Functionality available for functions: De-Issue Inventory, Final Staging Job, Final Staging SO, Issue Job, Reserve Sales Order, and Un-Reserve Inventory.
Commit on Scan	The box is only enabled for the Issue Job, Input Production, Input Payroll Time, Final Staging Job, Final Staging Sales Orders, Reserve SO, and, beginning in version 17.02.007, the De-Issue Inventory options. The box is checked by default except for Reserve SO. This field was added to support situations where scanning GS1-128 barcodes, containing multiple AIs, was automatically committing transactions. Checking this this box for the WMS De-issue Inventory form allows the user to decide if scanning a barcode automatically commits the quantity to be de-issued or not, and when the security setting 'WMS -- allow de-issue without physical scan' is set to No, it will allow the user to manually enter a quantity to de-issue on the WMS De-Issue Inventory form as long as a lot label is scanned first.
Warn For Duplicate Scan	The box is only enabled for the Issue Job, Input Production, Final Staging Job, Final Staging Sales Orders, and De-Issue Inventory options. The box is unchecked by default. When enabled, if a barcode is scanned that is identical to the previously scanned barcode, the user will be prompted with a Yes/No prompt on whether or not this is a valid scan or not. This allows the user to ensure unwanted duplicates are not accidentally scanned.
Read Prompts	If checked, when using Android OS, the system will read aloud screen prompts to the user (example - "invalid PO Number"). Users can say "Repeat" to have the prompt repeated.
Modify	Modifies the selected WMS layout.
Sort	Ability to define the order in which fields will appear on the scanner for the selected WMS form layout.
Same As	Allows the user to select an already existing WMS form layout and copy all values into the new form layout.
Expires	Expiration date textbox for Physical Inventory. If WMS worksheet is NOT created for Physical Inventory, Expires appears (at the bottom of the form). If WMS worksheet is created for Physical Inventory, Expires will not appear.
Make All Not Visible	When clicked, all the WMS fields in the grid will have their "Visible" flag unchecked. Users can modify individual fields as needed to change the setting.
Make All Visible	When clicked, all the WMS fields in the grid will have their "Visible" flag checked. Users can modify individual fields as needed to change the setting.
