M3 General Settings

MMS005 – Warehouse

MMS005/H

Note: 

Picking lists: can sit at 1 or 3 depending on if we want picklist printed too.

We only need this flag turned on if we want text from customer orders to show in Mobile Action - if not important we don't need to download picklists (and text) to MHS810

CRS165 – Number series

There are a few number series involved in M3 transactions that are executed on the warehouse action system. The main ones to mention here are 16 & 17 they are the numbers that are used in MMS850 and MHS850 in the WHI staging table records: 

Both the wave number and the reporting number for MO’s are behaving differently in different versions of M3 and the best practice is to “fill” up so all characters are used from the beginning so leading zeros or trim is required etc.

Pro tip: These numbers can get corrupted during an ENV copy IF the copy happens DURING transacting in PRD… ex during the night… what tends to happen is that the CRS165 is not swapping over to the same number as is in MMS850 and or MHS850 so the number in MHS850 is higher than the last no in the CRS165 (since number series is copied first then the table…) this results in duplicated key when trying to process a transaction and trying to use the same message no as already exists…) this can easily be resolved by 1. Not copy while transacting …. If possible or just update the CRS165 last number used to what is in MMS850/MHS850 and it will start working.

MMS865 – Partners and filing of staging file records settings

I - Inbound: (Pick reports and Moves etc)

This enables us to use F10 in MMS850 and MHS850 to file the staging records these interfaces creates to archive or delete.

Note: We run some statistics on these table so 180 days means we can look at 6 months stats

Note: Need to use both the tick (235) and the number of days (240)

O - Outbound: Picklists  Panel sequence EF

This enables us to use F10 in MMS850 and MHS850 to file the staging records these interfaces creates to archive or delete.

Note: We run some statistics on these table so 180 days means we can look at 6 months stats

Note: Need to use both the tick (235) and the number of days (240)

This is important: Picking lists = 1 if we are to get the text from order headers and lines to show in MA (All texts and Picklist texts) 

Example of Purge/Archive

Archived records will appear in MHS890, MMS890.

This maintenance should be done on a regular basis to keep the performance of the warehouse integration interfaces.

Note: There is no program to schedule so this needs to be part of a manual maintenance schedule

MHS090 – Delete download data

This program should be scheduled if any of the below programs are populated

With the partner set up for WA (this relates to inbound messages so often we do not need these files populated when running warehouse action)   

MMS860 – Qualifiers

F14 to generate latest

Amend qualifier 92:

Mov net calc:

Recommendations: 

IF 13.4 BE then use 2 this means we can move quantity on picks list as long as we move the whole balance ID, this assumes we pick using RF guns since any printed paper will not be updated.

In earlier versions of M3 the option to use 2 is not available in this case use 1… 

Note: in WA1.0 we allowed a pop-up question and reprocess using MMS175MI (that works like option 2) but this will not be implemented in WA2.0 unless it is requested.

Pro tip: When pressing F14 any configuration changed from standard will be reset so that is important to consider when pressing F14.

MHS860 – Qualifiers

F14 to generate standard (this will pick up any new interface not yet been used since delivery by Infor development)

MMS010 – Location Master

All standard flags like multi storage, allocable, container management, are used as in standard M3.

Below are listed flags that are involved in enhancements in WA

Note: All users are recommended to be set up as LOCATIONS in MMS010 as well since the user can be used as a pack location in MA. Meaning when pick and pack the pack location becomes the packer, until moved to dock, loaded, or issued out.

MMS001 – Item Master

MMS002 – Item Warehouse

All M3 Std rules:

• Directed put-away (MMS057, MMS001/F Distgroup, MMS002/G Fill part empty etc)
• Allocation
• Are supported and used

MMS025 – Alias Numbers

All alias numbers can be used and will be retrieved. Any ambiguous result will be show and user needs to select line.
