Users open this template to create a warehouse-terminal. 

Creating a warehouse

1. Go to Home >Settings > Warehouse-Terminal.

2. Click the plus icon to create a warehouse-terminal.

3. Choose a mode: barcode or paper. (see below)

4. Fill in the required fields. (see below)

5. Add additional information as needed.

6. Click Save.

Barcode or Paper

In most instances, DVU recommends setting the mode to Barcode instead of Paper. This setting provides warehouse managers with a greater degree of flexibility.

If the DVU user sets the warehouse mode to Barcode, it is possible to enable Paper mode at the account level (by unchecking the Barcode Scanning box on the Receiving, Shipping, and Work Orders pages), which will override the default warehouse setting.

However, if the DVU user sets the warehouse mode to Paper, the platform automatically greys out some fields or functions on some Accounts pages. These fields remain inaccessible even if Barcode Scanning is enabled on account pages.

The Paper mode option is better suited for warehouse environments that will never use or adopt barcode scanning technology in the future.

Settings

• Enabled - Check the box to make the warehouse template live, visible, and accessible to users.

• GL Category - Enter a general ledger category. (optional)

• Mode - Click the field and choose Barcode Scanning (which requires RF (radio frequency) guns or Paper (a manual process).

• Description - Enter a unique name for the warehouse.

• Address and contact info - This is the origin of any transactions that are taking place in this warehouse (e.g. origin of the shipping orders).

• Invoice sequence - DVU uses this setting if no option is set at the account level. If the warehouse setting is blank, DVU uses the system value.

• Nice Label IP, Port, and Directory - These printer port settings are configured by DVU staff during platform deployment.

• Auth/Print GUID - Click the GUID button to generate a globally unique identifier for this warehouse-terminal which is used to configure port settings.

• Days of Operation - Check the radio circles to indicate (Monday through Sunday) when the warehouse-terminal operates.
