Features
EnableOverrides
This option will allow the Product Id and/or Best By Date of items produced on a line to be overridden at the Production Line level. While this feature is active, any items produced on the line will use the values set in the Overrides section instead of the default Order values.
EnableProductLabels
This feature allows labels to be customized by Product Ids/SKU. By default, all products will use the same label template and dynamically replace the text within the label for the product. Enabling this feature, allows a per-product label template to be utilized.
Enable Item Tracking
This feature will allow the tracking of items on pallets. By default Item tracking is enabled. For customers that only track pallet data, this feature can be disabled.
Units of Measure
This is the list of units of measure for products, items, and labels. By default ea (each) is required. Units of Measure settings are used for the Product Weight and Full Pallet Quantity on products.
QC Reason Codes
This list allows for reason codes to be added to QC'ed Orders, Items, and Pallets. This feature can help customers track trends for quality control issues, or recalls. These codes can be synced with an ERP if enabled.
Services
This is a list of Rest API URLs for all of PalletWorks connected services.
Integration

When this option is enabled, it allows data created within PalletWorks to be submitted to an external ERP system. PalletWorks supports any modern ERP system that offers web-based REST or SOAP connectivity. When this option is disabled, there will be no data transmitted outside of the PalletWorks product.
