Administering WMS+ Document Flow and Report Printing
The following outlines how administrators manage document-driven workflows in WMS+ and configure the printing of Crystal Reports for warehouse processes.
Base and Target Document Logic
WMS+ workflows begin with a base document in SAP Business One and result in a target document after completion. WMS+ retrieves document data and ensures that warehouse transactions stay aligned with the business logic configured in SAP Business One.
Base and Target Document Mapping
Base Document (SAP Business One) | Process | Target Documents (SAP Business One) |
|---|---|---|
Sales Order | Picking and Shipping | Delivery Note/AR Invoice |
Purchase Order | Receiving Inventory | Goods Receipt PO |
Transfer Request | Warehouse-to-Warehouse Movements | Inventory Transfer |
Production Order | Issuing or Receiving Production Materials | Production Issue/Production Receipt |
Return Request | Receiving Returned Inventory | Return Delivery |
Goods Return Request | Returning Inventory to Vendor | Goods Return |
Pick List | Guiding and Recording Picking | Delivery Note/AR Invoice (via linked Sales Order) |
WMS+ retrieves the base document, validates it during processing and posts the result to the appropriate target document in SAP Business One to maintain accuracy and traceability across inventory movements.
Batch Allocations
WMS+ respects batch allocations defined in SAP Business One. If a base document includes a specific batch, WMS+ prompts the user to scan or select that batch during the transaction.
Whether WMS+ enforces strict alignment with SAP Business One’s batch allocation depends on the configuration in WMS+ Admin Panel → Common Configurations → Process Settings. The settings Allow Override Assignments and Allow Add Lines control whether batch substitutions or additions are permitted.
All batch movements recorded in WMS+ are written back to the appropriate SAP Business One target document, preserving batch traceability and providing consistency with SAP Business One allocation logic.
Crystal Report Printing for Documents
WMS+ supports Crystal Reports printing during warehouse processes. The layouts used are defined in SAP Business One and assigned to specific workflows via the Admin Panel.
The following documents can be printed by users directly from handheld devices.
Shipping paperwork, such as a Bill of Lading, can be printed during shipment.
Quality control paperwork generated during the inspection of inbound goods.
Picking completion paperwork detailing orders consolidated in the picking process.
Printing occurs at the end of the transaction. WMS+ accesses the assigned Crystal layout and routes the job to a compatible network printer. Only Mopria-certified or Android-compatible printers are supported.
Crystal Reports outputs are distinct from barcode or label printing. Layouts are managed in SAP Business One and reflect the structure configured by the administrator.
