Maintaining an Import Costing Batch (Priority, Date)

Paperless import costing batches are assigned to the paperless queue. All batches posted to the paperless queue are assigned a default priority of 50 by Micronet. You can change this if required, e.g. to have one import costing batch downloaded to a PDA before another which is ahead of it in the queue. Import costing batches with a higher priority (lower number) appear higher up the list so they are downloaded to a PDA first. That is, an import costing batch with priority 20 will be downloaded to a PDA before a batch with priority 30.

You can also use this procedure to maintain the expected landing date for an import costing batch.

To maintain an import costing batch:

Open the Warehouse Scheduler screen.

Refer to "Displaying the Warehouse Scheduler".

Select the 5. Import Costing tab.

Micronet displays the Warehouse Scheduler - Import Costing tab.

For more information about the fields on this tab, see "Viewing or Changing the Status of an Import Costing Batch".
