Collection Configuration

This section allows you to select when the paperwork will be printed and which Default printer it will be using.

‘Cut off Time’ is set as the “Latest time that an order can be collected” from the site. ‘Picking Starts’ (on the Picking tab) is the earliest time an order can be collected from the site.

Lead Hours

  • The difference between ‘Picking Starts’ and the ‘Cut off time’ determines how many hours in each day we have for picking collection orders. This is what the ‘Lead Hours’ is used to check against.

    • So for 2x working days as the lead time for collection orders, and picking start time is 09:00 and cut off time is 17:00, then the lead time should be set as 16 hours.

Picking

This tab is used to set up for Picking and to exclude any specific days in advance.

Picking Starts - Please make sure this is set correctly as this is taken into account when arranging a Collection Order

Picking Options - Rotation Selection Priority, this will default the option to FIFO then location type, if you change this to Location Type then FIFO, the system will PICK the stock from the PICK Location first when the order is less than a full Pallet.

  • Customers using replenishment occasionally move newer stocks to the picking locations leaving older stocks in bulk/racking; the picking routine will typically pick the oldest stocks first but in this instance, we should respect the location priority before considering the length of time the rotations have been in stock.

Overview

The settings for each site are independent, some settings are controlled at the site level only and others can be overridden through the warehouse, location or customer setup

Due to the large amount of information needed for this section, it has its own page which can be accessed through the link at the top of the page or through this link → Sites

Tip

The T&C text is limited to 240 characters. On the standard note this takes up a substantial amount of space. We would suggest you use text which points to your terms and conditions on your corporate web site or a link to a downloadable version because some T&C are extensive and this box on the footer is simply not capable of holding the information in addition this is fed through to the ePOD system and this needs to make sense as a person signing for the delivery will not have enough time to read the T&C and therefor they can become unenforceable.

Given that most businesses do not use this given paperless deliveries you need to seriously consider what makes sense in this field.


Currency Rate

This screen provides the ability for users to quickly and easily update exchange rates for multiple currencies, instead of having to open each and every currency individually and update them one by one.

Image Added

All columns provide read-only information except the ‘New Rate’ which can be set here.

Click the ‘Fetch Current Rates’ Button to refresh the rate to the current date.

If the exchange rate changes for a country, you can update it in the ‘New Rate’ field. To make an exchange rate effect in the future date, you can select the date in the ‘Effective From’ field at the bottom.
