In Sterling WMS - How to generate variable length container SCM for Case and Pallets?
Answer
In Sterling warehouse management system (WMS) out of the box (OOB) containers (say while pack while pick, using pick into inventory container) are suppose to use 20 digit barcode for LPN’s.
By design for a ‘Case’ it should start with 000 and for ‘Pallet’ it should start with 001, this is because Sterling OOB uses UCC128 convention as the validation source). If you are looking to use some other conventions then follow the below mentioned steps to achieve the same and to avoid errors like "YDM00233 : Invalid Container SCM".
This process dependent on various steps followed or the flow in the RF console, so in order to understand which Barcode Type is validated against which barcode translation and in what order; one needs to TRACE translateBarcode API.
Once the trace has been taken; check for the values in BarcodeType and Description attributes in the BarCodeTranslation element. Then cross check these details in the configurator for the particular barcode type.
For example:
Check BarCodeType="ItemOrShippingContainer" Description="TrackingNo" in the XML below:
<BarCode BarCodeData="001C0001" BarCodeType="ItemOrShippingContainer" MaxTranslations="0">
<BarCodeTranslation AliasName="" BarCodeEndPosition="0"</span></div>
BarCodeLength="0" BarCodeStartPosition="0"
BarCodeTranslationKey="200905280739231761133"
BarCodeTranslationSource="TrackingNo"
BarCodeType="ItemOrShippingContainer" Description="TrackingNo"
FlowKey="" OrganizationCode="WMS01" TranslationSequence="9" VariableLengthFlag="Y"/>
<ContextualInfo EnterpriseCode="DEFAULT" OrganizationCode="WMS01"/>
<ShipmentContextualInfo ShipmentKey="200905280710531757648"/>
</BarCode>
We can follow the doc attached with this solution to achieve the same in PackWhilePick Process and Receiving HSDE screen.
