Article summary

When using multiple conveyors it can be important to make sure that certain conveyors have particular garments on them to increase efficiency. To accommodate this, SPOT uses conveyor filters.

Setup

SPOT can be configured to filter the orders it sends to a specific conveyor based on one of four criteria:

  • Department Group

  • Customer Phone Number

  • Customer CCOF status

  • Route

The setting is located at:
Setup > Program Configuration > Company > Conveyor Settings > Conveyors > (Conveyor Name) > Operation - Transaction Filter

DG: By Department Group, with the target External ID (set by Department Group) also specified, as in DG~01. See Department Group Setup below.

PHONE: By Customer Phone, will redirect an invoice according to the last two digits of the customer primary phone. This requires a range to be set, as in PHONE~00~50, to direct all invoices with customer phone numbers ending in the range 00 - 50.

CCOF: By Credit Card on file.

To require that the customer have a credit card on file: CCOF~YES

To require that the customer must not have a credit card on file: CCOF~NO

ROUTE -OR- ROUTEEX: By Route, for a route with the specified Conveyor Filter Value, such as ROUTE~02 for all routes with the Conveyor Filter Value set to 02. The ROUTE filter will also allow non-route orders through, whereas ROUTEEX (route exclusive) will not. See Route Setup below.

Additional Setup for

Department Group Filters

Navigate to the price table that you want to sort, then to the department group:
Setup > Program Configuration > Company > Mark-in Settings > Price Table > (Price Table ) > Department Groups > (Department Group) > External ID

In the field, specify an ID. Example: Laundry = 01 Drycleaning = 02

You will need to repeat the process for every department group.

Once you have updated all of the department groups, you will need to navigate to the conveyor setting.

The setting is located at:
Setup > Program Configuration > Company > Conveyor Settings > Conveyors > (Conveyor Name) > Operation - Transaction Filter

Set the external ID with DG~ in front of it. Example: For the ID of 01, type: DG~01

Repeat this until you have assigned the all department group ID's to the appropriate conveyors.

Route Filters

Navigate to the route you want to be apart of the filter:
Setup > Program Configuration > Store > Route Settings > Routes > (Route Name) > Conveyor Filter Value

In the field, specify an filter value. Example: 02

Repeat this step for every route, at every store, you want to filter.
