Output Control |
The Output Control tab for stock transfers enables you to manage receipt or transfer label printing. The notice printed at the sending location includes the bin location for the part at the sending location and the bin location at the receiving location once the part arrives at its destination. Printed transfer notices include employee ID and name, work order ID, transfer ID, equipment ID, year, make, model description, equipment serial number, part description as keyword, and short description.
If you are transferring parts for rebuild, you can send a shipping manifest to the message printer assigned to the location. The manifest can then be checked against what is received.
The Stock Transfers screen supports location-level access control, so you must belong to a user group with the applicable authorization to make changes or updates.
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on transfer ID, transfer status, from/to location ID, part ID, and part suffix, among other values.
Tip: To include a serial number on transfer labels and part receipt labels, add a code type of SERIAL_NO_INSTALLED to the appropriate label printer types with appropriate formatting. To print this data item as a bar code on a label generated by an Intermec label printer, use B instead of H in the code string definition.
The field in the top section of this tab defines the data that displays.
Transfer ID
Identifier of the transfer selected in the grid or that you are defining. This number is assigned to each new transfer and new request for transfer.
Data in the fields in the bottom section of this tab define the printing information.
Printer ID
Identifier of the printer associated with the Output destination field when the destination is a print queue. Defaults to the label printer ID (if any) specified for the logged on user. This field has a list box of label printer IDs specified as used by the logged on user. Optional, but required to print receipt or transfer labels.
Label printer IDs are associated with users on the Printers tab of the System Mgmt -> Setup -> Access Rights -> Users screen.
If you do not want to print labels, make sure that this field is blank. The following notices print, dependent on the value in the Current status field on the Basic Info tab:
SEND PARTS OUT: Transfer notice printed automatically. Must be assigned to a PART TRANSFER LABEL printer type. The number of labels specified for each part in the Quantity field on the Parts List tab is also printed.
The transfer message is sent to the sending location's message printer and the receiving location's message printer. The message printed at the sending location may be used as a manifest to accompany the shipment. The message printed at the receiving location alerts the location that a shipment is on its way.
RECEIVE PARTS IN: Parts receipt printed automatically. Must be assigned to a PART RECEIPT LABEL printer type. If there is a check in the Print receipt labels field on the Labels tab on the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Options screen, receipt labels for the parts are also printed. The receipt label includes location ID and bin location.
Printer types are assigned using the Label type field on the System Mgmt -> Setup -> Printers -> Label Printer Types screen.
Tip: You can define the same label printer ID differently for each label type. The result is one printer ID that is associated with two label types. The code uses the transfer label format to print a transfer label and the receipt label format to print a receipt label.
Output destination
Output destination associated with the printer in the Printer ID field. The destination displays after you specify the printer ID. This field is display only. The options are as follows:
Name of the print queue.
Path to and file name under which you want to save the transfer notices. If the file already exists, the output is appended to the existing file.
Output destinations are associated with printer IDs on the System Mgmt -> Setup -> Printers -> Printer Devices/Queues screen.
