Flushing

On the Flushing settings page you define which business cases the flushing module applies to and how it behaves. Here you determine the authorised clients and customers, POIs and products, the default flushing time as well as the configuration of the flushing reports. The page is aimed at administrators and dispatchers who manage the flushing module.

Note: The Flushing tab is only displayed if the flushing module is activated for your organisation.

1. Navigation

You can access the flushing settings via the main menu under Settings. There, select the Flushing tab.

2. Authorised Clients and Customers

With this field you restrict which clients and customers the flushing module is applied to.

How to proceed:

1. Click in the Clients/Customers field.
2. Start typing a name. While you type, matching clients and customers are suggested.
3. Select the desired entry from the suggestion list.
4. Repeat the process to add further entries.

This is a multi-selection field: you can store any number of clients and customers. Entries already selected are shown as removable tags. Using the remove icon on a tag, you take an entry out of the selection again.

If no entry is selected, the module applies – depending on the other settings – without any restriction to specific clients and customers.

3. Authorised POIs

With this field you define which POIs (Points of Interest, e.g. locations or sites) the flushing module applies to.

How to proceed:

1. Click in the POIs field.
2. Enter the name of a POI. Matching results are suggested.
3. Select the desired POI from the list.
4. Add further POIs if required.

This is also a multi-selection. Selected POIs appear as tags and can be removed individually.

4. Authorised Products

With this field you determine which products the flushing module is applied to.

How to proceed:

1. Click in the Products field.
2. Enter a product designation. Matching products are suggested.
3. Select the desired product.
4. Add further products if required.

The selection is made as a multi-selection; selected products are displayed as removable tags.

5. Default Flushing Time

In the Default flushing time field you define the preset duration for a flushing operation.

How to proceed:

1. Enter a numeric value in the field.
2. The value must be at least 1.

Only numeric entries are permitted. If a value lower than 1 is entered, a validation notice appears and the setting cannot be saved until a valid value is entered.

6. Configuration of the Flushing Reports

In this section you define which report is used for flushing and when it is generated.

Report Template

In the Flushing report field you select the report template to be used from the available shipment reports.

1. Click in the Flushing report field.
2. Enter the name of a template. Matching templates are suggested.
3. Select the desired template. Exactly one template can be stored.

Select the desired option by clicking the corresponding button. Only one option can be active at a time.
