Configuring physical storage locations within the warhouse | Location Configuration | The location configuration screen allows uploading the names of different zones within the warehouse as well as aisles composed of storage locations. Structurally, the warehouse can be organized into zones which contain aisles which contain locations. The specification of whether an aisle is to be used for normal storage or pigeonholing (for consolidating combo type orders) can also be done here | Through the location configuration screen, the physical organization of the warehouse can be defined in terms of zones, aisles and locations. Zones allow arbitrary grouping of aisles that can be used do demarcate different regions of the warehouse (if needed). Creation of locations generates location ID barcode stickers that uniquely identify each location in the warehouse |
Defining distance for each storage location | Location Configuration | When creating locations within an aisle, the distance can be specified. This numeric value indicates the distance of the location from an arbitrary starting point (usually the start of the aisle) | Specification of the location distances allows the system to intelligently order the picking decision to minimize the distance to be walked before picking the next item for an order |
Take bins offline to stop inventory exposure | Bin Offline | Bins can be taken offline from location if inventory is to be made non live. | Turn off exposure of a particular bin by just a scan of either bin id or the location id |
"Bin Offline" by scanning Bin or by scanning location | Bin Offline | System already knows the mapping of location and bin. So any of the above scan can achieve Bin Offline success. | Turn off exposure of a particular bin by just a scan of either bin id or the location id |
Serial barcode powered Cycle count | Cycle Count | Scan the Bin ID and all the products present in the bin, WMS would correct the inventory by adding the excess inventory and marking the missing of the bin as LOST | Correct inventory in real time without blocking the inventory exposure to marketplaces or stopping any warehouse activity |
Timezone specification | General | Warehouses can be associated with a specific timezone at creation based on their grographical location. When accessing the UI from other modules like OMS, the user is given the option of choosing the desired timezone. Based on the chosen timezone, all date-time related information on the UI is updated to reflect the values in the specified timezone | For supporting warehouses operating in geographically different locations with differing timezones, this feature allows the defining of a timezone for each warehouse separately. All time related inputs and ouput on all screens and documents are converted according to the timezone specified for the warehouse. |
Check complete history of an item or bin by scanning it | Audit Log History | All the activities with the time and person who performed them will be shown. | Know the complete history of the product, who picked it, who marked it lost, where the product was marked as lost etc |
Support to Modify the Picklist Allocation Time in WMS | Picking | The picklist allocation time can be modified in the WMS Picklist Configuration screen. The default value of this configuration is 300 seconds (5 mins). | |
Limit the number of Inward Box created during gate entry | Inwards | User can set a restriction on the maximum number of boxes that can be generated in a gate entry. The maximum limit is set as 500 which is fixed and cannot be modified. |
