Configuring Pack Level Segments

Procedure: How to Configure the HL (Hierarchy) Segment

Each pack (box, for example) has a bar code label with a serial number. This segment represents that pack and contains that serial number. For common carriers, the shipper and recipient mutually agree on the format and content of the labels. If the package is being transported by a "small package" carrier like Federal Express or UPS, the labels are formatted to the specifications of the freight company. UPS and Federal Express allow shippers to create labels over the web, and often provide hardware and software to allow the shipper to create the labels and accompanying manifests at the location of the shipper. We previously discussed the looping format of the advanced ship notice for common carrier shipments. A small package ASN may have only one pack (and possibly no items) per ship level, and may contain multiple ship levels in a document. The common carrier ASN usually contains the 20 character readable bar code from the label with a GM qualifier. The small package ASN contains the package tracking number with a SM qualifier.

After expanding inv_pck and then SG0, right-click the HL tag, select Add, and click Element.
Rename the element to incr_hlctr.
Use the position icons (Move Up and Move Down) on the toolbar (or right-click and select from the control menu) to position the incr_hlctr element below the HL tag.
Configure the incr_hlctr element as indicated in by the following syntax:
```
@VARIABLE('HLCTR','ADD','1')
```
Right-click the HL tag under SG0, which is located under inv_pck, select Add, and then select Element.
Rename this element to save_location_of_pack.
Right-click the save_location_of_pack element tag in the Output pane and select Properties from the context menu.
Click on the ellipses (...) icon for mapping the save_location_of_pack element.

Configure the save_location_of_pack element as indicated by the following table:

Element	Value
Save_location_of_pack	@VARIABLE('LEVEL3','SET',@VARIABLE('HLCTR','GET'))

Your screen should now resemble the following image:

Use the position icons (Move Up and Move Down) on the toolbar (or right-click and select from the control menu) to position the save_location_of_pack element at the bottom of the HL tag, if it is not already positioned at the bottom.

Your screen should now resemble the following image:

Configure the mapping values for the HL elements as indicated by the following table:

Element	Value
HL01	@VARIABLE('HLCTR','GET'
HL02	@VARIABLE('LEVEL1','GET')
HL03	P

Right-click the inv_pck node, select Properties, and then click the ellipses (...) button in the Properties window/General tab.

Set the context to the following:

ZWALASN/IDOC/Z1BILL_DOC/E1EDL20/E1EDK01/Z1TOTE

Set the filter condition to the following:
```
@LEN(ZWALASN/IDOC/Z1BILL_DOC/E1EDL20/E1EDK01/Z1TOTE/TOTE_NUMBER) > '0'
```
Your screen should now resemble the following image:

Procedure: How to Configure the Man (Manifest) Element

Add a new hidden group tag (OUTPUT_GROUP_NODE). Move it up so the new tag is above the MAN segment.
Move the MAN segment to the new group.

Set the context to the following:

ZWALASN/IDOC/Z1BILL_DOC/E1EDL20/E1EDK01/Z1TOTE

Click the Filter tab.

Set the filter condition to the following:

@LEN(ZWALASN/IDOC/Z1BILL_DOC/E1EDL20/E1EDK01/Z1TOTE/TOTE_NUMBER) > '0'

Click OK.

Configure the mapping values for the Man elements as indicated by the following table:

Element	Value
MAN01	GM
MAN02	ZWALASN/IDOC/Z1BILL_DOC/E1EDL20/E1EDK01/Z1TOTE/TOTE_NUMBER

Your screen should now resemble the following image:
