Eclipse Control Files

RF Cycle Count Dollar Cutoff

Applies to both RF and Non-RF Cycle Counts

When the entered count does not match the on-hand quantity for the location AND the dollar value of  the discrepancy is a negative adjustment, but a lower value than what is set in this control file, the inventory adjustment is made, as long as user has PRD.LOCATION.MAINT level 2 and above, and the user will not be taken through the related counts flow.

If the value of the discrepancy is a negative adjustment and the value is greater than what is set in the control file RF Cycle Count Dollar Cutoff, the behavior of the related counts flow and the ability to make the adjustment will be controlled by the RF.COUNT.ABORT authorization key and related Innovo Control Files discussed in our Location Touch Authorizations Keys article.

This control file works in conjunction with Innovo Location Touch Cycle Count Dollar Threshold if you want to provide the user a warning in the app.

 

Best Practice: Site preference

 

Enable RF Branches

Location Touch uses this setting to determine whether the branch is an RF enabled branch.

 

Best Practice: This should be set based on your authorization for the Eclipse RF add-on product.

 

Unauthorized User Finds Discrepancy in RF Cycle Cnt By Loc

Applies to both RF and Non-RF Cycle Counts

This control file only comes into play when a user has authorization key PRD.LOCATION.MAINT level 2. When the quantity entered does not match the on-hand quantity for a location, you can force the user to count all related locations or you can automatically queue the locations, and add to the count queue.

Please note, this is only applicable in non-RF when control file Innovo Location Touch Enable Related Counts in Non-RF is enabled.

Best Practice: Set to Force Count All to ensure the most accurate inventory count.

 

Location Types to Be Included in RF Cycle Count

Applies to both RF and Non-RF Cycle Counts

Only those location types specified in this control file will be presented to the user during related counts entry.

 

Best Practice: Set to S-Stock in order to ensure the most accurate inventory count.

 

RF Cycle Count Max Entries

Applies only to customers that are RF, are switching to Advanced Cycle Counts and that have been, and want to continue, using the warehouse operation queueing phantom to manage replenishments.

Set the branches in this control file to 0  to prevent “random counts” from getting generated by the Warehouse Operations Queue phantom when also using Advanced Cycle Counting.

 

Best Practice: Most customers will not need to adjust this control file as it only applies if you've have been using the Warehouse Operations Queue Phantom for replenishments, your branches are RF, and you are moving to Advanced Cycle Counts and also want to continue replenishments from the Warehouse Operations Queue Phantom.

 

RF Default Location Status

Applies to RF Cycle Counts only

By default, when a new location is created in Location Touch the location status is set to floating. This control file allows you to override the status in new locations to something different.

 

Best Practice: If you are setting up your warehouse for the first time, set this to Primary or Secondary. If your warehouse is already setup, you can leave this blank. Floating locations will automatically be deleted when the quantity in that location goes to 0.

 

WOE IP Address (If Different from URL Home Address)

This control file must have the base URL required to reach your image share publicly. Enter the full http:// address of your web site for redirect programs to use.

 Alternatively, you set this in Document Storage Location Maintenance, find the storage ID you are using for your location touch images and use the Path hotkey to enter the base URL required to reach your image share publicly

 

Best Practice: Use either the control file or Storage Profile path setting and make confirm the URL can reach your product images via a web browser connection outside of your LAN.

 

Innovo Control Files

Innovo Location Touch Cycle Count Dollar Threshold

Applies to both RF and Non-RF Cycle Counts

When a discrepancy results in a cost greater than the minimum defined in this control file, the user will be warned during the cycle count process that the discrepancy will exceed the threshold. At that point they can do more research before updating the on-hand quantity.

Innovo Location Touch Default Location Status in Non-RF

*New in Release 1.3.0*

Applies to Non-RF Cycle Counts only

By default, when a new location is created in Location Touch the location status is set to floating. This control file allows you to override the status in new locations to something different.

 

Best Practice: If you are setting up your warehouse for the first time, set this to Primary or Secondary. If your warehouse is already setup, you can leave this blank. Floating locations will automatically be deleted when the quantity in that location goes to 0.

 

Innovo Location Touch Enable Real Time Updates in Non-RF

*New in Release 1.3.0*

Applies to Non-RF Cycle Counts only

Enable this control file to turn on real-time updates in a non-RF branch. In a real-time environment, the inventory will be adjusted immediately when the count occurs and there will be no need to manually update. 

Best Practice: Set to Yes to speed up the cycle count process and eliminate the need to do counts before or after business activity.

 

Innovo Location Touch Label Formats

By default, location touch will check for the product and label types detailed in our Product and Location Printing article. This control file allows you to customize beyond those formats if needed. If you configure a branch in this control file, the app will use this instead of those noted in the article.

Enter a branch and then set the label type for Product and Location, as well as the subroutine. NOTE: This control file is only viewable in Eterm.

Best Practice: Site preference

 

Innovo Location Touch Include Catalog Products

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to review & set this Control File

Applies to both RF and Non-RF Cycle Counts

Best Practice: Set to Y

 

Innovo Location Touch Number of Days to Display Count Files

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to review & set this Control File

Applies to Non-RF Cycle Counts only

By default, all generated cycle count files in Eclipse are displayed in Location Touch. This control file allows you to limit that list to only files that were created in the last x number of days.

 

Best Practice: Set to 30 days to limit the list available for the user to select.

 

Innovo Location Touch Override RF Enabled

Applies to RF Cycle Counts only

Location Touch uses control file Enable RF Branches to determine if a branch is RF enabled. If a branch is determined to be RF, we use the Warehouse Operation Queueing file to display the counts. If you want to use Phys files for generating the counts in an RF enabled branch, use this control file to override that setting.

 

Best Practice: Site preference

 

Innovo Location Touch Respect UD Product Fields when Scanning

*New in Release 1.4.0*

This allows you to expand the fields checked when a barcode scan is performed in the app. This will include all 10 UD fields from product maintenance. By default, only the product ID, UPC code, and customer part number fields are used to match scans.

Best Practice: Site preference

 

Innovo Location Touch Warehouse Operation Queue in Non-RF

Applies to Non-RF Cycle Counts only

This only applies to non-RF branches that use Advanced Cycle Counting in an RF mode. If this is enabled, we will use the Warehouse Operation Queueing file to display the counts instead of any generated Phys files.

 

Best Practice: Keep default setting of No
