How to Manage Application Settings in OMS?

This tutorial provides detailed instructions on how to manage application settings in the OMS screens.

Access the Application Settings menu by selecting the Settings tab under the Akinon OMS menu, and then clicking on Application Settings.

The application settings menu consists of nine steps.

Step 1: Geocode Provider​

Geocode Provider is used for packaging to estimate the distance between the packaging location and the delivery address.

Configure it with these details:

• Client: Select the application from which you can request location data.

• Conf/API Key: Enter the token required for authorization.

• Conf/Base URL: Enter the service URL.

• Conf/Timeouts/Connect: Set the required connection time for sent requests.

• Conf/Timeouts/Read: Set the required reading time for sent requests.

  

Step 2: Geolocation​

Geolocation is added with Geocode Provider Settings to enable location discovery.

Decide whether you want to enable Geolocation.

If you select Yes, the settings defined in Geocode Provider will be used. Selecting No will disregard these settings.

Step 3: Maximum Fulfillment Time​

The Maximum Fulfillment Time setting defines the maximum time allowed for order fulfillment.

If a package contains an Out Of Stock product, Akinon OMS creates a record for this product in the Inventory Discrepancy table. To reassign packages for the same product to the same location, these records must be deleted periodically. Typically, this period is set to 1 day, but it may vary based on client requirements.

Enter the desired time period in the number of day(s) format.

Step 4: Order Item Exclusion​

Order Item Exclusion is used to determine which products should not be included in packaging when creating orders.

Configure it with these details:

• Klass: Enter one of these values:

  • oms.orders.service.OrderItemExclusionService.exclude_by_sku

  • oms.orders.service.OrderItemExclusionService.exclude_by_base_code

• Exclusion Type: Specify how products should be excluded:

  • Based on Product SKU value (exclude_by_sku)

  • Based on Product Base Code (exclude_by_base_code)

• Parameters: Enter the SKU/Base Code of the products that should be excluded, based on the selected Klass.

Step 5: Order Filtering​

Order Filtering is used to determine which orders are displayed in Akinon OMS.

Configure it with these details:

• Status/Enum: This field uses the fixed value oms.orders.enums.OrderStatus.

• Status/Value: Specify which status of Omnitron orders should be pulled into Akinon OMS. Generally, you can use the value “approved”.

• Channel: Indicate the sales channel from which Omnitron orders should be pulled.

• Is send: Use this field to decide whether orders should be written to the client's ERP. Select Yes to pull orders written in the ERP and No to pull orders not written in the ERP.

Step 6: Package Number Pattern​

Package Number Pattern determines the pattern of package numbers displayed in Akinon OMS.

Configure it by entering the desired pattern.

Step 7: Click & Collect​

Click & Collect is a feature used when fulfilling orders in Akinon OMS.

Select whether to enable this feature.

Step 8: Shipping Inquiry Range​

By default, the Shipping Inquiry Range is set to the last 30 days.

This range is used by a server task that tracks cargo shipments by reading records from the past 30 days.

You can change this value based on client preferences.

Step 9: Reservations​

This step allows you to enable or disable the reservation function.

For some packages, Akinon OMS keeps a reservation record for products included in the package at the package's inventory location.

Change this setting if you want to request packages without creating a reservation record.
