How To: Filter Invoices by Pick Location
Overview
A location range filter has been added to the SIM filter, which is possible to use with the standard filter saving options. This allows users to setup a filter range of orders in specific locations and then save the filter set to load this lookup quickly.
The location codes must only include alphanumeric characters otherwise the filter set will encounter strange sorting.
Example:
- AAA1A to AAB2B3A - This is okay
- AAA11 to AAB2B/DNR - This is not okay as it contains a forward slash.
Usage
Typical steps for usage would be:
- Open a Sales Invoice Manager screen.
- Open the Filter screen by either clicking on the Filter button or pressing F4.
- Note the filters 'Location Range Start' and 'Location Range End' in the bottom-right of the Staged Processing Filter.
- Set the new filters to your desired range, then click 'OK' to see orders which contain items from this range of locations.
Notes
- This functionality is only available on Warehouse enabled systems.
- Numbers are treated as coming 'before' letters, so filtering from 1 to C will include locations beginning with all numbers, and locations beginning A-C, but not locations beginning with D-Z.
- You may use one, both, or none of the filters.
- Using just the Location Range Start filter will show any locations after the input value.
- Using just the Location Range End filter will show any locations before the input value.
- Using both will show locations between the two values (inclusive of themselves).
- Using neither will show all locations.
- It is not possible to enter non-alphanumeric characters into the filter, as these cannot be sorted into an order. An error message will appear when you click 'OK' on the filters screen if a non-alphanumeric character has been input.
- You may set the two different filters to two different entry lengths - e.g. you can have a Location Range Start 'A' and a Location Range End 'Bb'. Khaos Control will interpret the 'A' as 'A0', which will include all possible locations beginning with 'A'.
- The 'Location Range Based on Pick' checkbox, when ticked, will apply to actual pick locations. When unticked, it will apply to all potential pick locations for the invoice.
