Order Time Mobile - Preferences & User Settings

Order Time Mobile has settings in three places: Company Preferences in Order Time on the web, Preferences in the app, and User Settings in the app.

Company Preferences in Order Time

In Order Time, go to Settings > Company Preferences > Mobile. Check Activate to turn on the app for your company, then set company defaults on the General and Order Time Mobile tabs. See Company Preferences - Mobile.

Preferences in the app

In the app, go to Settings > Preferences. Preferences are usually visible only to admin users.

General

  • Scan Item: require an item scan.
  • Scan Bin: require a bin scan.
  • Scan Lot or Serial Number (LSN): require an LSN scan for items that track them.

Pick Sales Orders

  • Allow Negative Inventory: allow picks that take a bin's on-hand quantity below zero.
  • Deny More Than Ordered: block picking more than the ordered quantity.

Receiving

  • Deny More Than Ordered: block receiving more than the ordered quantity.

Work Orders

  • Auto Allocate Work Order on Finish: allocate remaining components when a step is marked Finished.
  • Change Status to Ready When Allocated: set the work order to Ready once its components are allocated.
  • Check Available on Pick: check available inventory when picking a component.
  • Warn Finish if Unallocated: warn before finishing a step with unallocated components.
  • Require Fully Allocated: block upload until all components are fully allocated.

User Settings in the app

In the app, go to Settings > User Settings. These settings apply to you on this device.

  • Start Scan With: scan the Item or the Bin first. This also sorts the pick list.
  • Recognize Scan: the item field scans are matched against: Full Name, Name, UPC, MPN, or GS1.
  • Pick Quantity After Scan: All, One, Ordered Or One, Ordered Or All, or Manual.
  • Location: the location you are working in. Changing it deletes any downloaded orders and scans on the device, so upload first.
  • Use Phone Camera to Scan: use the device camera as the scanner. Turn it off for hardware scanners. Changing it reloads the app and returns you to the Main Menu, and your work is kept.
  • Enable Composite QR Parsing (Item|LSN or Item|Bin|LSN): read several values from one QR code.
  • Apply Shipped-As UOM Conversion to Ship Doc Fills: convert quantities to the shipped-as unit of measure when filling ship docs.
  • Auto Upload Sales Orders: upload sales orders when you leave the module, sign out, download another order, or finish picking an order. You can't turn it on while sales orders are on the device.
  • Auto Upload Bin Moves: upload each bin move as soon as it's complete. You can't turn it on while bin moves are waiting on the device.
  • Auto Scroll Items: move to the next item on its own after the current one is done.
  • Load download list: show the list of open documents on the Download tab. Turn it off if you always type or scan document numbers. The app runs faster without the list.
  • Enable Tap to Confirm Picking: tap an item, enter the quantity, check the bin and LSN, then confirm. This setting appears only when it is turned on for your company.
  • Show Time Entry Feature: show time tracking on work orders.
  • Sort Count List By Bins: sort the count list by bin.
  • Edit Count Quantity From Count List: change counted quantities from the List tab.
  • Sort Line Items Alphanumerically: sort document lines in alphanumeric order.
  • Scan Work Order by Steps: work through work orders one step at a time.

Other options on the Settings tab

The Settings tab also shows your user, role, company, location, and app version. From here you can refresh preferences or tap Sign Out.
