WM Programs

This section describes the VDF or “Visual Dataflex” Warehouse Management programs. This section also describes the specific options which are contained in each of the programs and how each program should be used when processing transactions.

Note: This section describes the individual programs in the WMS module and how they should be used. The information in this section is used to display program specific help in each of the Warehouse Management programs. For more information about completing a specific task (which may require using several different programs), please see the Daily and Monthly Procedures sections of this document.

VDF programs are windows based programs and they are organized into modules.  Each of the VDF modules normally contains multiple programs and these programs can belong to one or more different applications. For example, the accounts payable module includes Accounts Payable programs, the Purchase Order Lookup (which is part of the Purchasing System), journal entry lookups (from the General Ledger System), and bank lookups (from the Bank System)

VDF programs are completely documented in the module that they are most closely associated with and they are briefly referred to from other modules. The online help system will normally display the correct help topic for each program automatically, regardless of the module that the help program is called from.

VDF executables contain Pull Down Menus which list the available programs in each module. The pulldown menus for a module are normally organized based on the program type. Typical pull down menu options include Operations, Lookups, Reports, and Maintenance/Utility Programs. Other pull down options that are specific to each module are also supported. The Pull Down options that are available in each application are restricted based on your specific menu options and security (what programs have been included in each menu and the operator rights that are have been defined in order to access them). The Menu in each application can be modified or customized by your Systen Administrator or by Cove Systems Personnel.
