Configure Pick Execution Exception Reason Code Check Digit

Before you begin

The pick execution exception codes, which are used in a warehouse to identify a particular execution exception reason, are usually long, and contain alphanumeric strings. Long strings such as these are not recommended in voice-based systems because the chances of an error occurring are high. In order to avoid such errors, a shorter version of the code, known as a check digit, is used. Check digits are usually 2-5 digits long, easy to read, and are used to identify a given execution exception reason code.

For more information about check digits, refer to the VLP Bookshelf Guide. Use the instructions provided in this guide to configure the pick execution exception codes check digits to upload records in VLP.

Perform the following steps to configure a pick execution exception reason code check digit:

Procedure

  1. Launch the Applications Manager. From the menu bar, navigate to Applications > Warehouse Management System.
  2. From the tree in the application rules side panel, click More or double-click Task Management.
  3. The tree is expanded. Double-click Execution Exceptions.
  4. The Execution Exception window is displayed. By default, the Pick tab is selected. If this tab is not selected, click the Pick tab.
  5. The Execution Exception panel for Pick tasks is displayed. Click Create New.
  6. The Execution Exception Code Details dialog box is displayed. Enter a check digit for the pick execution exception reason code in the Check Digit field. Enter information in the applicable fields, and click Save. For field value descriptions, see the Using the Applications Manager.

    Note: Out-of-the-box, the grammar file supports only numeric responses for pick execution exception codes (short or skip reason) check-digits. The grammar file can be customized to support alphanumeric values. If you want to do so, please contact Sterling Customer Support.

    The pick execution exception codes are unique across warehouses in VoiceLogistics Pro (VLP). Incase multiple warehouses are implemented for the same VLP instance, ensure that for a particular pick execution exception code, the check digit is the same across these warehouses.
