Using the ccpde application on the DENSO BHT-8000

The ccpde Menu is as follows

• 1.COLLECT
• 2.COLLECT COUNT = 1
• 3.UPLOAD COUNTS
• 4.DOWNLOAD MASTERFILE
• 5.DELETE MENU

Counts

Make counts entering the quantity for each item.

• Scan a barcode
• Enter the quantity
• Repeat or press F1 to exit

Once the barcode has been scanned and a Masterfile is present, the pde program will check the Master file for the barcode, if it is not found the PDE unit will beep and Vibrate.

QTY: is displayed for the first time that the barcode has been entered, if the barcode has already been entered it will display:

• CURR QTY: 5
• ADD QTY:

If you want to subtract from the current count entered just enter ‘–x’ where x is an amount.

The ‘-‘ sign is obtained by pressing SF key (ALP is high lighted in the bottom right hand corner). Now press the ‘0’ button twice until a ‘-‘ sign appears. Press another number this will move the cursor off the ‘-‘ sign – now press the SF button (ALP will no longer be high lighted) and enter the negative amount.

To clear a wrongly entered qty (before pressing the ENT key) press the ‘C’ key to clear the last figure typed.

After the count qty is entered the last barcode scanned is stored on the first line of the display with the total qty for that item. Eg. 123456789: 5

To return to menu just press F1 key at the scan barcode prompt. Do not press F1 at any other time, as this will not return to main menu.

Counts assuming = 1

Make counts assuming each quantity is one. This is used when scanning each individual item.

• Scan a barcode
• Repeat or press F1 to exit

After the barcode is scanned the last barcode scanned is displayed on the first line of the display with the total qty for that item. 123456789: 5

To return to main menu press F1 when prompted to enter a barcode.

Upload Counts (Sending the Counts)

Used to send the counts that have been completed through to the server.

Pressing this option will display the following

Then in CONTROL the normal procedure for downloading the counts from the pde into the CONTROL stocktake program Select Stocktake -> PDE Stocktake Operations -> Retrieve Counts from pde

If the an error message – “PDE port not setup” appears the PDE port needs to be configured this is done configured on the terminal record – “pde port”)

The CONTROL stocktake program will ask for a file name that the counts will be saved to.

• Filename :/u/ccdev/TEST/pde/18-16-44.txt
• By default the file name will the /CCDIR/COMPANY/pde/day-hour-minute.txt
  • Retrieving File, Start when ready
  And hopefully a count will display if it is working.

DELETE Menu

Using PDE program via CONTROL stocktake program

In the CONTROL stocktake program, there is a sub menu called PDE OPERATIONS, inside this menu is four options to do with the sending and receiveing data from the PDE unit.

• Generate Stock file for pde
• Transfer Stock file to pde
• Retrieve Counts from pde
• Import Counts into CONTROL

Generate Stock file for pde

This option generates a master stock file in which to send to the PDE Unit. This file contains the stock code, the barcode and supplier stock code for which can contain fields that a stock item can have.

Transfer Stock file to pde

This option will transfer the master stock file to the PDE unit.

Retrieve Counts from pde

After the stock has been counted, transfer the counts back to the Server via this option. It will extract the records with counts from the file that was downloaded.

Import Counts into CONTROL

This Option imports the counts that were downloaded into Control system
