 The following error is issued when saving the 'InterUnit and RMA Receiving' component with the 'Putaway Action' field set to 'Putaway at Receipt Save Time':

The error is issued because the part of all the processes which are part of the AUTOPTWY PSJob are not set up to run on the default Inventory 'Server Name' at the User Preferences level (navigation: Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Common Definitions, User Preferences, Define User Preferences - Hyperlink: Inventory).

The AUTOPTWY PSJob includes the following 3 processes:

• 'IN Load Staged Items' Cobol process (INPSSTGE)
• 'IN Putaway Plan' SQR Report (INS3500)
• 'IN Putaway' Cobol process (INPPPTWY)

You may have set up your system to have Cobol processes run on one server (for example a UNIX server) and SQR Reports on another one (for example PSNT).


So how can you run the AUTOPTWY PSJob successfully which such a process/server configuration?
