DBD: IWR XML Feature

The IWR XML feature is the ability to send an "Impending Warehouse Receipts" via XML to your warehouse to advise them of an inbound shipment.

Feature Details

This electronic document uses the EDI 943 standard document and is termed as an "Impending Warehouse Receipt" (IWR-943) document in DB Distributor.

The notification is delivered through a FlowPoint integration between DB/d and the external Warehouse.

Inventory is shipped to a warehouse through a Purchase Order or Sales Order that has special shipping assigned on the order lines

Enabling the IRW-943 for a Warehouse

  1. In the Warehouse Location setup panel, check the “IWR Enabled?” flag.
  2. Define a Business Unit for the Warehouse

Note: If there are multiple virtual warehouse locations that represent the same physical warehouse location, check the “IWR Enabled?” flag for all applicable warehouses and use the same “Business Unit” code.

Workflow

During order entry, when an IWR-enabled warehouse is specified for special shipping in a Stock PO or a Sales order, Unattended Printing logic causes and entry of a PO6 trigger record that looks like:

  • WPO2XML 012345679WHSE”W”: Document type – Warehouse Receipt “PO2XML”: Unattended Printer handler program [0123456789]: PO Number (9 char) or Stock PO (8 chars + 1 blank) [WHSE]: “D” type Warehouse Location code from FM0_Loc (9000 warehouse indicated customer owned location) Unattended Printing Setup: “X” group.
  • The PO6 trigger records are converted by the "PO2XML" program into an equivalent Webec request for an IWR notification.
  • The request is handled by EC3PO1, and the “943_flowpoint_template” is evaluated into an XML output file.
  • The XML file is then transmitted to FlowPoint by script “943_flowpoint_xml_order”.

  • To resend an IWR XML file, uncheck the “IWR XML Sent” box.
  • Save and exit the order to trigger the IWR XML file be generated and sent again.
