1
Levels of warehouse management
Configure warehouse processes as required for each
location. Decide whether to use bins or not, should
warehouse team work with separate documents or
update sales and purchase orders. Should pick and
shipment be separate steps or can be performed in
one go.
2
Bin
Organize your warehouse by assigning items to bins,
the smallest unit in the warehouse logical structure.
Use item journals to assign bin directly on document
lines. Default or fixed bins will speed up document
processing.
3
Bin setup
Set up and maintain bins by defining both the layout
of your warehouse and the dimensions of your racks,
columns, and shelves. Give input to planning by
defining characteristics for bins.
4
Inventory pick and inventory put-aways
Create pick lists from sales orders and put-away work
from purchase orders to assign tasks to warehouse
team, who can complete picking and put away work
without opening sales and purchase orders.
5
Warehouse receipt
Manage receipts from a separate user interface in a
multi-order environment. Create a put-away work
directly from warehouse receipts or use put-away
worksheet to create multiple put away tasks.
6
Warehouse shipment
Manage warehouse shipments from a separate user
interface in a multi-order environment. Create picking
lists from shipments or pick worksheet.
7
Internal pick ups and put-aways
Create pick and put-away orders for internal purposes,
such as testing put-away for production output, without
using a source document (such as a purchase order or a
sales order).
8
Directed pick up and put-away
Receive and put away items in bins according to putaway
templates, and pick items based on zone and bin
rankings. Use worksheet to move items between bins
to optimizes the picking process and the use of space.
Avoid wasting time by utilizing cross-docking. Deal with
different units of measures for same items.
