- Inventory: STO (Inventory) chapter / MIS (Miscellaneous) group
To add or amend the default parameters, select Detail from the Actions menu.
General parameters: Miscellaneous
Parameters defined at folder level
Define the following miscellaneous parameter to control selection of lot numbers when weighing components (GPA / MIS):
|
LOTMGT |
Set to In release. Lot numbers need to be assigned to work orders prior to weighing. Context (Weighing components): Lot numbers have been allocated to the components of manufactured products. |
General parameters: Weighing stations
Parameters defined at folder level

Context (Weighing setup): Allocation of stock to cover component requirements. |
|
APTOPW |
Specifies the weight on which the weighing tolerances are calculated.
If set to On the total expected weight, the tolerance percentages will not be recalculated because they are calculated against the total expected weight, which will not change.
Context (Weighing setup): Partial weighing. |
|
CUTCAB |
Do you want to display the barcode reading results following a recheck of a work order?
Context (Weighing setup): Checking barcodes. |
|
CUVCTL |
For components stored in tanks, specifies if data needs to be reentered to check for handling errors against online values.
Context (Weighing setup): Checking production weights. |
|
ENGAGE |
Specifies how the manufacturing commitments are managed.
Context (Commit to manufacturing): Reconciliation. |
|
ITMCTL |
Which fields can be rechecked against online values? Define whether to permit a recheck against the product code, and/or the lot, and/or the sublot. Context (Weighing setup): Checking stock weights. |
|
LENLOT |
The permitted number of characters for a combined lot + sublot reference. Context (Weighing setup): Checking lot numbers. |
|
LISMAT |
Specifies the point at which the pending materials, the materials to be weighed are loaded by the Weighing function (FUNSCA).
The value of this parameter can impact performance.
Context (Weighing setup): Weighing preparation. |
|
POSTOL |
Do want to allow validation of a weighing where the defined tolerance percentage limits have been exceeded?
Context (Weighing setup): Weighing management. |
|
PRIALL |
Defines the allocation priority.
Context (Weighing setup): Allocation of stock to cover component requirements. |
|
PRTWEI |
Can a partial weighing be interrupted?
Context (Weighing setup): Weighing management. |
|
RECONCIL |
Specifies how the manufacturing reconciliation is managed.
Context (Commit to manufacturing): Reconciliation. |
|
RECONOBLI |
Is it mandatory to reconcile the weighing before committing the values for manufacturing?
Context (Commit to manufacturing): Reconciliation. |
|
REDNEG |
Should a negative stock adjustment be generated when the weighed quantity is less than the planned or allocated quantity?
Context (Weighing setup): Stock adjustment. |
|
SELWGG |
Display a list of suitable weighing scales?
Context (Weighing setup): Weighing management. |
|
UPDSTO |
Can the default stock line to be weighed be changed?
Context (Weighing setup): Weighing management. |
|
USRWEI |
Validate new weighing stations?
Set to Yes if you use your Sage X3 system within the pharmaceutical sector.
Context (Weighing setup): Configure location/booth. |
|
WEICOMSEQC |
Is the weighing sequence controlled?
Can define at Site level.
Context (Weighing setup): Weighing management. |
|

|
WEIRPTOPE |
The default End of operation report code. Used to print weighing details of an operation on a previous work order when a work order component is changed. Context (Weighing setup): Print management. |
|
WEITRSNUM |
The default Material tracking plan Entry transaction. Context (Weighing setup): Material tracking generation. |
|
WEIVT |
Specifies how the Commitments and Reconciliation functions display on a mobile device.
Context (Commit to manufacturing): Reconciliation. |
General parameters: Inventory
Parameters defined at folder level
Define the following miscellaneous parameter to identify stock items when weighing components (GPA / MIS):

Entry transactions
Work orders
Open: Setup > Manufacturing > Entry transactions > Work orders | Documents
You need to set up Work orders Entry transactions (GESMFL) for the weighing functionality.
The key field is in the Weighing station block. Select the Weighing plan checkbox.
Select the Validation action to validate the change.
When the weighing plan is created using the Weighing plan function (FUNWEIGH), you can select the work order manually or load it automatically, depending on the allocation method defined in the Weighing plan Entry transaction (GESMWL).
Weighing plan
Open: Setup > Manufacturing > Entry transactions > Weighing plan
Use the Weighing plan Entry transaction function (GESMWL) to customize the Weighing plan function (FUNWEIGH) to the needs of your organization and your processes.
Your system is provided with a standard or master Weighing plan entry format. You can modify the master or create new entry definitions to suit your processes, your users, or just to make your system more convenient to use. Each entry definition affects the way in which information is entered, and what information is displayed, and printed.
You create each entry definition as a "Transaction". Each transaction you define is available for selection when the Weighing plan function loads, either from the menu or from an action in a linked function. The default entry screen displays and a choice is not offered if you do not define additional transactions to the standard or master Weighing plan entry format. You are advised, however, to get a basic understanding of how your system works before changing the master entry definition.
Weighing plan Entry transaction (GESMWL)
Miscellaneous receipts
Open: Setup > Stock > Entry transactions > Miscellaneous receipts | Stock
You need to set up Miscellaneous receipts Entry transactions (GESSRT) for the weighing functionality.
If you subdivide your lots into sublots, select the Number of sublots checkbox. This checkbox is in the Entry block.
Select the Validation action to validate the change.
