Field

Description

No. of Terminals

This is just a calculation of how many MES Terminals have been set up.

Default Terminal for APIs

If there is a terminal that should be set as default, if no terminal is sent in with the API request.

Data Mapping Active

If this field is checked, the data mapping will be used when exporting data to MES and importing transactions from MES (through APIs). If not checked, the data mapping will be ignored.

Update Lot Period

If this field is checked, the duration of a lot is expanded automatically, instead of putting the transaction on Error if activity date is outside the period.

Transfer Adjustment to Stock Center

If this field is checked, adjustment will be posted to the Stock Center currently on the Lot, but after that a new MES transaction is created that will transfer the newly created Trade Item to the given stock center. If not checked (default behaviour), there is an error if a Stock Center is given that does not match the one on the Lot.

Archive Method

When MES transactions have been processed, they can be archived manually or automatically. This field controls the method used to archive. Manual means that the transactions will be archived when the user clicks the action on the page. Automatic means that transactions will be archived automatically when they are older than a certain period defined in the field "Archive Period".

Options:

  • Manual - no automatic archiving

  • Daily - then archiving is day one week after processing (or the next time the processer is run)

  • Weekly - then archiving is done one week after processing (or the next time the processer is run)

  • Real-Time - then archiving is done instantly after processing

Automatic Processing

This tab has the following fields that are non-editable are are there only for information:

Job Queue is Set Up

Only informational. Indicates whether the Job Queue for handling MES transactions is set up.

Last Job Queue Run

Last Job Queue Status

Only informational. The last status of the Job Queue for handling MES transactions. Shows if last run was successful or not.

There is a way to automatically catch the data sent into this endpoint and transfer the data into MES Transactions.
