You can determine if a node's inventory is maintained within Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation. You can also determine if the node you are configuring is itself an inventory node or identifies the inventory node to which it belongs.
To define a node's advanced inventory attributes:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Inventory Information Not Available To Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation | Select this option if the node uses an inventory application
other than Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation to
track inventory. If this option is selected, Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation never has access to the inventory picture for this node, and never attempts to do any inventory availability checks. Note: When this option is selected, Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation still
stores the inventory organization for the node with the organization
selected as the inventory organization when the node was created.
|
Inventory Is Made Available To Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation | Select this if the node tracks inventory using either Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation or
another inventory application. The node's inventory picture can be
used in Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation for
availability calculation, inventory tracking, and distribution. If you are configuring a node, this field determines if inventory is tracked or infinite at the node. |
Get External Supply Real Time | Select this field if the supply is available to Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation,
but comes from an external system instead of being maintained internally.
The supply picture is obtained by calling the getExternalSupply user
exit. Note: This checkbox is only available
when the inventory information is available to Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation,
and the organization is a node only.
|
Capture Tag Information | |
Only when receiving | Select this option to capture an item's tag information only when receiving inventory. |
When performing any node operation | Select this option if you want to capture an item's tag information when performing any node operation, such as receiving, picking, putaway, or counting. |
Only when shipping, if the buyer mandates | Select this option if you want to capture an item's tag information only when shipping inventory to a buyer who mandates it. |
Serial Information | |
Serial Tracked Item | |
Capable of Serial Tracking in Inventory | Select this to track serials for serial tracked items in inventory. If this is not selected, serial tracking will be based on configuration for serialized items. |
Serialized Item | |
Capture Serial in Inbound | Select this to capture serial information in inbound. There
are two scenarios of capturing serials: Only Return Inbound - Select this to capture only for return inbound items. All Inbound - Select this to capture serials for all inbound inventory. |
