Increff WMS supports the functionality of UOM(It describes the relationship of eaches to boxes, boxes to cases, cases to pallets, and so on). With this feature we have added the support to define UOM definitions, GRN on UOM SKUs, allocation logic for UOM SKUs and bulk break feature for UOM SKUs.
Terminology
Eaches Eaches - this demotes the base SKU. UOMs for this product will be formed from this base SKU. For example a munch is the eaches SKU and a box of much is a UOM.
BulkBreak - The process of breaking the UOM SKU into the next breakable SKU. This can be done to replenish child SKUs to ensure picking optimisation or to fulfil a pending order with the child SKU.

bulkBreakThreshold - this define defines the minimum quantity of the SKU that should be available for active pick.
barcode - this field denotes the scannable Id on the handling UOM unit.

At the time of GRN for perishable products the defined expiry and batch details will be available for the warehouse operator to select for the UOM handling unit that is being in-warded. The same details of expiry and batch will then get associated with all the items that are part of that UOM. |
Outward Order Creation
Outward order will be taken on the eaches SKU only.
Outward Order Allocation In OMS
The allocation logic is built in such a way that the larger UOMs will be allocated first.
The system is intelligent enough to reserve the inventory for the order even in cases where bulk break is required and still show the accurate inventory view to all fulfilment channels.
During allocations, system gives priority to the inventory expiring first followed by largest UOM first. Moreover, wherever required, system also tries to allocate the inventory in such a way that minimum number of bulk breaks are required to fulfils the order.
For orders that are unfulfillable due to pending bulk break will have a flag to denote the same.

Bulk Break In WMS
The Bulk Break activity involves the below steps:

Identify the required quantity of products to be bulk-broken and release the picklist for every qty.
Guided picking of items for the bulk break.
Break the item into items of the next breakable SKU and QC the newly created items.
