System Parameters

Overview

Parameters control system behavior at the warehouse level. They allow the same Easy WMS software to behave differently across warehouses of the same organization without code changes. Every process — reception, picking, counting, replenishment — has parameters that tune its behavior.

Parameters are defined at the organization level but can be customized per warehouse. A warehouse-level value overrides the organization default.

Two categories:

  • System parameters: Created automatically by the system. Cannot be deleted. User sets warehouse-level value.
  • Custom parameters: Created by implementers from the web interface. Can be created, modified, and deleted. Used for custom behaviors.

Parameter Attributes

Field Description
Code Unique parameter identifier
Of the system True = system-created; False = custom
Default value Developer-assigned baseline (all warehouses start with this)
Has custom value Whether any warehouse has overridden the default
Class Process category (where it's used)
Scope Web or RF
Type Data type (Boolean, Text, Integer, Decimal, Enum)
Minimum / Maximum value Bounds for numeric parameters
Possible values Enum list of allowed values (restricts user input)
Custom values by warehouse Per-warehouse override values

Interface: View "Parameters" in the menu "Configuration" (PC).
