WHM Mission Browse

This program lets you browse all missions and view the source and current status of each mission.

Exploring

This program is accessed from the Program List of the SYSPRO menu:

  • Program List > Inventory > Warehouse Management > Missions and Tasks > Browses

A mission can be created for inventory putaway, sales order pick or cycle count transactions. Once missions and tasks are assigned to the employee or team they can be serviced using the Missions & Tasks application in SYSPRO Espresso (where operators can then view their tasks from a mobile device) or the WHM Review Mission Tasks program using the SYSPRO Desktop or SYSPRO Web UI (Avanti).

The system is updated in real time as the stock is allocated, physically moved and the task completed. Once all tasks are done, the mission can be completed.

Starting

You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to groups and applying access control against the group (configured using the Operator Groups program).

The following configuration options in SYSPRO may affect processing within this program or feature, including whether certain fields and options are accessible.

Using

Mission and task statuses are used in the Warehouse Management System.

The following indicates the possible status codes for a mission as well as a task:

Status Description

O - Outstanding

This applies to the mission and the tasks allocated to a mission that have not yet been completed.

As long as a task is still outstanding, the mission status also reflects as such.

C - Complete

This applies to the mission and tasks, and indicates that the tasks have been completed.

Once all tasks have been completed, the mission status is updated to C - Complete.

X - Canceled

This status is applied to the task when it is canceled.

When all tasks are canceled, the mission status is updated to X - Canceled.
