Warehouse Scheduler - Import Costing

Import costing batches are created in Micronet via Import Costing – see "Inventory - Import Costing".

When an import costing batch is created and then posted as paperless (see "Import Costing - File - Paperless"), Micronet saves the batch to the paperless queue where it waits to be assigned to a PDA through the Warehouse Scheduler - Import Costing tab. The file can then be loaded onto a PDA to check off the goods on the back dock. By comparing the barcodes / items and quantities, issues can be quickly resolved and stock moved from the dock as quickly as possible.

Once the import costing batch has been completed on the PDA, it is loaded back into Micronet – see "Import Costing - File - Load Completed Paperless" – so the purchase order can be reconciled against the tax invoice. The import costing batch can then be posted as either costed or uncosted.

For more information on the use of PDAs for paperless import costing, see "Paperless Import Costing" in the Mobile Applications manual.

From the Warehouse Scheduler - Import Costing tab, you can perform the following:

• view or change the status of an import costing batch – see "Viewing or Changing the Status of an Import Costing Batch"
• maintain an import costing batch, e.g. change the priority or shipment date – see "Maintaining an Import Costing Batch (Priority, Date)"
• inquire on an import costing batch – see "Import Costing Inquiry"
• delete one or more import costing batches – see "Deleting an Import Costing Batch"
• print import costing reports – see "Import Costing Reports".

Technical Tip You can only make changes to import costing batches if your user ID has the Allow Change on Schedule field for import costing set to Yes – see "Maintenance - Edit UserIDs - 9. Mobile Security (v2.7)".
