Additional Information
Elite WMS Overview

The Ship Via WMS Carrier Mappings (ibis_su04) program allows you to map ship via codes from PointForce to carrier service codes in the Elite WMS warehouse management system. You can match multiple PointForce ship vias to a single Elite WMS carrier service code.

    Note: Only Elite WMS warehouses defined in Company Control Initialization (CC00/Warehouse Management Interface) can be utilized with this program.

The following list defines every field on the ship via WMS carrier mapping program:

  • Warehouse - enter or select from the query a warehouse code. Note: Only Elite WMS warehouse codes defined in CC00/Warehouse Management Interface are valid in this field.

    • Once a valid warehouse is entered, the carrier service codes defined in the Elite WMS Carrier Services table are transferred to PointForce. A progress bar displays while the transfer is in progress. When the transfer is complete, the WMS carrier service codes are available in the drop list in the WMS Carrier Service Code field.

  • Ship Via - enter or select from the query the ship via code to which an Elite WMS carrier service code will be mapped.

  • WMS Carrier Service Code - using the drop arrow, select the Elite WMS carrier service code that will be mapped to the ship via code.

Note: If you use a PointForce ship via code on an order that is not mapped to an Elite WMS carrier service code, an error will result in the Elite WMS Queue Message view (for the 'wms_stage_in' table) and the order will not be processed in Elite WMS. In this case, you will need to do the following:

  • Delete the error from Elite WMS (or advise your Elite WMS contact to delete the error).

  • Create the mapping for the PointForce ship via to an Elite WMS carrier service code.

  • Recall the order using Scheduled Order Recall (ibis_oe67).

    • This will create another message in the Elite WMS Queue Message view. This message must be deleted before the order is rescheduled in PointForce and resent to Elite WMS.

  • Remove the 'manual hold' from the order using either of the following programs:

    • Order and Quote Entry (ibis_oe30)
      OR
    • Orders on Hold Release (ibis_oe65)

  • Reschedule the order via Schedule Orders for Printing (OE32) to send it back to Elite WMS.

The following table outlines the functionality of each button on the Ship Via WMS Carrier Mapping (SU04) program:
