Business Model

Generally, e-commerce platforms provide exchange deals on smartphones to the users. They pick up the used phones from the users while providing the new one the user bought from them.

Those used mobiles are now sent to third-party retailers and now need to be stocked up in warehouses.

These mobiles are now supposed to become inventory in warehouses and available for sale to liquidators.

Terminologies Used

paSku - paSku is the sku created based on the Mobile brand , model and GEP.
GEP - (Guaranteed Exchange Point) While ordering the mobile phone if the customer chooses the option of GEP i.e. phone is covered under the Guaranty program.
- Example : If the phone is Samsung is the mobile brand , S7 is the model and is under GEP then a SKU can be SAM_10001 and if the same phone is not under GEP , the SKU can be SAM_10002.
finalSku - finalSku is the SKU that is created once the grading is done. It also takes storage into the consideration.

ItemId - In this document itemId is referred to as the unique code generated based on the brand of the mobile and model of the phone.
auditType - This represents the type of audit a SKU is to undergo. The auditType becomes more intensive in nature with increasing pricing of mobile phones i.e. more audit questions will be there for higher prices phones. Below are the types of audit types supported as of now.

auditSet - groups of auditTypes is called a auditSet.

Problem Statements

Before the phone has arrived at the warehouse, only the original SKU of the phone (iPhoneX) that is about to arrive is known.
The problem is to assign a SKU depending upon its working functionality and quality.
To do this, it has to go thorough quality check and grading and then assignment of quality grade to the phone should happen.
Once the grading is done , it has to be inwarded in the warehouse and Order can be punched on the inwarded items.

Grading Rules

Grading rules are predefined along with the grades to be given mapped on all possible outcomes. The grading questions input type against mobile phone skus while their grading is also uploaded via the file in the Grading Rules section. The question can have different input types from dropdown to boolean to text. Questions having endOnNo as true if marked false would stop the auditing at that point itself and assign the grade without moving onto the remaining questions.

Sample file

Master SKU

Master skus are to be uploaded which contains all the probable sku that can arrive at a warehouse for grading. Any SKU outside which is not uploaded here would not be considered for grading.

GRN

On the GRN , the user scans the inward lot id or the user can create a new lot. New lot needs to be created in case of absence of an open inward lot. AWB or Order Id of items are required to complete the grn of the items. Once the required items are received in the lot we can close it. A PDF file containing the items in the lot can be downloaded and used during the audit(grading) process.

A lot would contain only brand wise with the same mobile phones.

Audit

Audit of items can either be done piecewise or in bulk. The AWB or order id in the PDF obtained after GRN are now audited against the auditType of their SKU uploaded in pre audit SKU file.

Barcoding

Barcodes of the items audited gets printed on this screen.

Settings

Using this page , the user can configure the printer settings.
