Why configure OnTime functions in Wiise ERP? 

The Wiise warehouse functions section can be configured to determine the actions a warehouse worker can perform with warehouse documents. Some businesses prefer warehouse workers to only save information to be posted or registered later by others while others prefer these actions to be completed by warehouse workers. You can choose the level of responsibility that you want your warehouse workers to have. 

Before You Begin 

Decide the following for your warehouse workers: 

  • Complete the warehouse setup by configuring Location Cards 
  • Ensure Warehouse Employees are assigned to the correct locations.

    3. Type: The type of record  
    4. Submit Action: the action when a warehouse worker submits the task in the app: The actions are: Save, Post, Ship, Register, Receive, Finish and Create. 
      1. Save: Marks the task as complete but leaves posting for a desktop Wiise user to finalise later.

      3. Ship: Posts the activity directly into Wiise ERP desktop.

      7. Create: Create a new document like a stock transfer in OnTime.  

        Note: Warehouse workers can save data for someone else to post or register or they can post warehouse receipts and shipments and register warehouse picks and put-aways.  
  6. Mobile App Options section: 
    1. Priority Status Enabled: Toggle to highlight tasks in the app as high priority 
    2. Priority Status Calculation: Define the logic used to determine which tasks are priority based on the document’s Ship by or Expected by dates.  
    3. Note: By default, priority tasks are highlighted in OnTime 1 day before their due date. You can update this by configuring the function. Here’s the date formula format: Number + Time Unit (1D  = 1day, 2W = 2 weeks). D = Day, W = Week, M = Month, Q = Quarter, Y = Year  
    4. Print Bardcode Report: Toggle on to print automatically when the function is completed 
    5. Scan on Each Item Qty: This requires the warehouse worker to scan each individual item rather than scanning once for the total to ensure item and quantity accuracy.
