Inventory management supports fexible warehouse logistics for multi-level warehouse structures with storage locations, zones and areas. Whether you have a high-rack warehouse or warehouse block storage, you can precisely map the warehouse structure of your company. Alongside the many parameters that can be set, there are a number of different storage, stock removal and picking strategies to choose from. The system also supports automated confrmations via BDE.
Maps the warehouse organization
On the warehouse level
Organization: simple warehouse, high rack storage, bulk storage, or only storage locations
On the warehouse zone level Zone usage, for example, deep freezing
Free assignment of rows to aisles
Freely definable sequence of warehouse zones and rows
Picking, receipt of goods, issue of goods, reserve zone
Quarantine & blocking status
On the storage location level
Multiple slots per storage location possible
Storage segregated by item or by identifier
Different storage location categories (storage locations with or without storage units, picking location without storage units, bulk storage location with storage units, fixed location without storage unit)
Representation of various physical access possibilities to the storage units of a storage location
High rack storage locations
Bulk storage locations
Items with parallel inventory units can be put away and withdrawn in warehouses with storage locations without conditions.
Owners of inventory for warehoused inventory in storage locations (fixed and dynamic)
Inventory orders & requisitions
Automatic replenishment
Automatic return transfers
Storage locations can be predetermined manually by means of inventory requisitions
Identifier allocation also when generating inventory orders
Automatic generation of inventory orders
Inventory orders can be generated on the basis of either picking or delivery orders
Inventory order line items can be split
Storage labels
Loading units (optional)
Same loading units used throughout inventory management, including storage location control
Put-away and withdrawal of complete loading units
Use of SSCC (serial shipping container code) or German NUS (number of shipping unit, or NVE) throughout is possible
Inventory query with loading unit display
Inventory corrections with or without loading units
Put-away strategies
Put-away restrictions
Random put-away
Fill strategy (fixed location, store, do not fill)
Put-away (empty location, bulk additions to existing stock)
Put-away sort order (freely definable sequence of aisle, row, level, and storage location)
Optional storage location overrun rule (for each or all zones) based on an ABC classification of items and the corresponding prioritization of the storage locations
Withdrawal strategies
Withdrawal restrictions
FIFO or strict FIFO
Withdrawal sort order (freely definable sequence of aisle, row, level, and storage location)
Picking strategy
Picking point
Any storage location
Even with extensive rules for putaway and withdrawal processes, response times are very short: the storage location-managed warehouses are mapped in a writethrough cache in the main memory
