 Receiving / Pallet
Creation
System 2000 supports receiving by Purchase Order or Container,
and manual or RF posting of the receipt. Upon receipt, the user can
note the Lots and Serial Numbers received. All items are received
into the location's default Loading Dock staging bin. Using RF
Pallet Creation, the system will automatically assign a pallet
number and print a pallet license plate for easy tracking of item /
pallet movement.
Product Movement
System 2000’s product movement program will automatically create
move tickets for received items and for bin replenishment based on
picking lane requirements and bulk stock merges. Using the RF move
ticket entry program, the user can scan the “from” location, the
item or pallet being moved, and the “to” location. Upon accepting
the move, the system will immediately transfer the quantity to the
newly assigned bin. Item History keeps track of all movement for
each product.
Order Management
System 2000's order manager screen allows warehouse managers to
view and select sales orders and warehouse transfer orders for
individual or wave picking based on a myriad of sort criteria. The
order manager maintenance screen allows users to view the selected
orders and group orders for picking based on weight, cubic measure,
quantity, or line items. The manager can then choose to create
consolidated or individual pick tickets. The order manager screen
also provides the ability for managers to review the current picking
in progress and analyze the performance by Area, Zone and Picker.
Picking
System 2000 supports paper based or RF picking. From the Order
Manager program, the system will generate a pick ticket that will
display the items based on Area, Zone, Path and Bin sequence. RF
picking can then be utilized to scan the bin and the item being
picked. Upon scanning, the system will verify that the correct bin,
item and quantity were picked and move the item to the user’s
staging bin. A bar coded picking label can be automatically
generated to track the tote or pallet used for picking the order.
Order Verification
System 2000 Order Verification allows the user to verify the
items that have been picked against the customer order. Upon
scanning each item, the system will verify that the correct item and
quantity was picked for the order. In addition, the system will
prompt the user for any serial numbers or lot numbers that may be
required. Box (carton) tracking is available to allow the user to
designate which items are in a specific box. Upon ending each box,
the system will allow the user to enter in the weight, ship-via,
freight charges and the tracking number of each box. Upon ending the
order the system will prompt the user to backorder any items that
have been short shipped and the system will total all the cartons
and freight charges for the order. The user has the option to print
a packing list or an invoice. The user can designate the orders
being shipped on a specific truck and generate a bill of lading if
required. For EDI orders, UCC-128 labels and 856 Advance Ship
Notices can be generated.
Warehouse Transfers
Warehouse transfers can be automatically or manually created for
both inter-location and inter-company transfers. Suggested transfers
are based on the usage, transfer lead-time and minimum requirements
of each location. Managers can use the transfer maintenance program
to review suggested transfers and adjust the stock allocations for
each item by location. Transfers are then released to the order
manager program for picking.
Cycle and Physical
Counting
Cycle and Physical Counting programs provide management with
efficient tools to control and gauge the accuracy of current
inventory records that are maintained in the locator system.
Automatic cycle counting takes place continuously based on the cycle
class code assigned in the Item master file. The cycle count process
writes transaction records, prints count sheets, allows RF-based
counting and produces variance reports. Full physical inventory
counting is supported using wireless terminals or count sheets.
Detailed inquiries display all counting activity and variances
reported. |
