Settings
Management › Settings is the one place where the warehouse manager defines the parameters. Only the WMS administrator sees it; it is not in an operator's menu.
The page consists of eight category cards. Each card shows the current values of its category, opens its own settings page with Edit and gives shortcuts to the related screens.
| Category | What you set | Shortcuts |
|---|---|---|
| Warehouse and layout | Depot point (X, Y), level height, shelf code pattern, warehouse health score weights | Shelf layout, Warehouse map |
| Picking and replenishment | ABC shares and velocity window, pick face replenishment days, slotting suggestion limits | Pick faces, Wave templates |
| Receiving and putaway | Golden level range, heavy item threshold; putaway rule order (information) | — |
| Shipping and packing | Packing mode, GS1 prefix and SSCC, carton/pallet label size and moment, required weight, dispatch note summary | — |
| Labels and barcodes | No page of its own: GS1 and label settings are in packing, the shelf code pattern in the warehouse settings | Packing settings, Shelf code pattern, Shelf layout |
| Counting | Cycle count: shelves suggested per day, A/B/C count intervals, count risk weights; new counting plan defaults | Count plans |
| Labour and shifts | Shift start, end and working days; the next-job rule (task interleaving); measured labour standards (information) | Performance |
| Users and roles | Who is an administrator, who an operator; operation categories and firm/warehouse scope | — |
Warehouse settings belong to the warehouse selected in your workspace; to set another warehouse, change the warehouse in the top bar. Packing and users apply to all warehouses.
Changing a setting
- Click Edit on the card.
- Change the value. A small dot appears next to the name of a changed field; the bar at the bottom tells how many changes there are.
- Click Save. If a value breaks a rule (e.g. the A share is greater than the B share, the health weights do not add up to 100), the field is marked and nothing is saved.
- The window that opens lists each change as old → new. Confirm with Save; "Settings saved." appears at the top right.
To back out, click Cancel: the page returns to the saved values. The time of the last change is shown at the top of the page.
New values apply to this warehouse as soon as they are saved. Recommendations, cycle counting and the workload use the new values in their next calculation.
Category details
Warehouse and layout
- Depot point: the point walking distances are measured from (the dispatch door or the start of picking), as a metre coordinate on the map.
- Level height: for shelf levels with no height entered.
- Shelf code pattern: reads the aisle, bay and level from the shelf code. Example
{aisle}-{bay}-{level}. The parts you can use are{zone},{aisle},{bay},{level},{side};{aisle}is required, each part once. Leaving it empty removes the pattern. - Warehouse health score weights: the share of stock accuracy, flow, slotting, master data and occupancy balance in the score. The total must be 100.
Picking and replenishment
- Velocity window: the ABC class and daily outflow are computed from this many days of movement (7–365 days).
- A and B share: the class by cumulative share of picking lines; A is the fastest movers.
- Replenishment: how many days of daily outflow the suggested minimum/maximum of a pick face should cover.
- Slotting suggestions: how many suggestions can be open at the same time at most, and the minimum daily walking saving below which a move is not suggested.
- Ask the check digits at the shelf (off at first): when on, the check digits of the label are asked at every shelf while picking (Barcode scanning).
Receiving and putaway
After receiving, the shelf suggestion follows a fixed order: first the product's pick face (if there is room up to the maximum), then the shelves that already hold the product (consolidation, nearest first), then empty shelves that fit the ABC class. Quarantine, receiving and shipping zones are never suggested. Here you set the golden level range and the heavy item threshold: fast products are suggested to golden levels, heavy products below the golden level.
Over-receiving is not set in WMS: in Order receiving, how much more than the remainder can be linked to an order line is the order quantity tolerance of the item (or variant) card in Logo. Without a tolerance on the card, at most the remainder is linked; the excess becomes a separate goods receipt document (Goods receipt).
Counting
Every night the riskiest shelves are suggested for cycle counting (Recommendations). Here you set how many shelves are suggested per day (0 = off), at most how many days apart A, B and C class shelves are counted, and the weights of the risk factors.
New counting plan defaults: blind count, difference threshold (units and %) and maximum rounds (1–10). A rule the counting plan does not set takes these values; what the plan sets wins. Starting values: blind count on, threshold 1 unit and 2%, at most 3 rounds.
Labour and shifts
Shift hours and working days are the basis of the capacity in Planning and the workload. If the end is before the start, the shift passes midnight.
Next job: task interleaving. The operator's Next job card on mobile gives the running job first, then the assigned and pool jobs by priority and due time. With interleaving on, while the head of the queue is not urgent, late or within the due-time guard, a task that adds little walking to the person's way to it is brought forward. The person's position is known from the shelf they scanned last; distance is computed from shelf coordinates. The rule is fixed; no AI chooses.
- Task interleaving on: when off, the next job is always the head of the queue.
- Maximum detour (metres): an interleaved task may add at most this much walking.
- Priority band: how many priority levels below the head an interleaved task may be.
- Due-time guard (minutes): nothing goes before a head task due within this time.
- Types may mix: a task of another type may be interleaved, such as a pick on the way after a putaway.
Starting values: on, 30 m, band 0, due-time guard 60 minutes, types may mix. Below are the measured labour standards: the expected seconds per stop, line, unit and metre for each task type. They are not entered by hand; they are computed every night from recent work. A standard marked "Little data" is a rough estimate.
Shipping and packing
See Cartons and pallets. When a GS1 prefix is entered, new cartons and pallets get an SSCC number; if it is left empty, internal codes are used.
