You can use a parameter to provide additional information to a business task. Before you update the parameter for a business task, ensure that you have included the business task (on page 1) in the gate configuration.
To set or edit a parameter:
Select a business task with a parameter displayed in the Params field and a status of Included.
A parameter that is not set will display a ? for the setting, for example the parameter {docTypeId=?} has not been set but the parameter {docTypeID=EIR} has been set to EIR.
Click Actions and select the Set Parameter option.
N4 displays a form with the text fields for the selected business task parameter(s).
In each parameter text field, enter the parameter setting, such as EIR for the document type or TQ for the truck position.
You must enter a valid parameter setting as follows:
docTypeID: Enter an existing document ID. To create a document ID, see Document form (on page 1).
allowMenWorking: For XPS operations only, enter Y to allow gate transactions assigned to logical blocks where men are working to process. If set to Y, the truck must wait at the next gate stage until yard operations clears the men working stack status flag.
The default setting rejects gate transactions assigned to logical blocks where men are working.
truckPosition: For XPS operations only, enter an existing logical block in XPS per the configuration of your settings.xml file. Use this parameter to indicate where XPS should select a container in the yard, or where XPS should place the truck after the specific gate stage or truck visit is successfully processed.
Typical configurations use GRIDQ for straddle operations, or for non-straddle operations TQ for the transaction types and TIP for the truck visit. For more information, see the online help for the specific business task where this parameter is being set.
workQueue: For XPS operations only, enter an existing work queue in XPS to indicate where to place the work instruction generated from the gate transaction, such as road queue.
dmgSeverity: For the LogPreviousContainerDamages (on page 1) business task only, enter ALL to include all damages, or enter MAJOR_ONLY to include only the major damages.
failedToDeckSlot: For XPS operations only, enter the fail to deck block name in XPS, per the configuration of your settings file. Typically the fail to deck block name is FLD.
toleranceKg: For the RejectContainerOverWeightEmpty (on page 1) business task only, enter the maximum allowed difference in weight in kilograms between the gross weight and tare weight of an empty container.
Click OK.
