Our functions include:
1. Warehouse Receipt Tasks:
- Internal Warehouse Receipt (PW): This operation involves receiving products or goods into an internal warehouse within the same enterprise. The process generates a warehouse document that confirms the receipt operation.
- External Warehouse Receipt (PZ): This operation involves receiving products or goods into an external warehouse located outside the scope of the enterprise. Like internal warehouse receipt, this process generates a warehouse document confirming the receipt operation.
- Suggesting available pallet spaces for assortment allocation: This functionality, available in advanced warehouse management systems, automatically identifies and proposes available pallet spaces in the warehouse for storing assortments,
Key features of this function include:
- Space availability analysis: The system monitors the current warehouse status and analyzes the availability of free pallet spaces. Based on specific criteria, such as pallet size, assortment type, and available space, the system identifies potential locations for assortment allocation.
- Space optimization: This function allows for optimal utilization of available warehouse space, minimizing losses, and maximizing the number of stored assortments.
- Real-time responsiveness: The system continuously updates information on available pallet spaces, enabling quick response to changes in the warehouse status, such as receipt of new goods or issuance of assortments. This facilitates flexible and efficient warehouse management.
- Error reduction: Automatic suggestions for free pallet spaces eliminate the risk of human errors in the assortment allocation process, leading to improved accuracy and precision in warehouse management.
- External product codes based on GS-1 labeling or internally established unique product identification are a crucial element in the process of product identification and management in the warehouse or throughout the entire enterprise,
Here is their elaboration:
- GS1 Labeling: GS1 (Global Standard One) is an international non-profit organization that develops standards and solutions for the supply chain, including labeling. GS1 coding is based on international identification standards, such as barcodes and serial numbers. Each product labeled with a GS1 code has a unique identifier, enabling clear identification and tracking of the product throughout the entire supply chain, from the manufacturer to the consumer.
- Internally Established Unique Product Identification: Some companies may use their own internal product labeling systems. Within such an approach, a company may assign unique codes or identification numbers to its products, which are used internally for identification, management, and monitoring of inventory status. These unique codes are typically structured in a way that allows unambiguous identification of each product without the risk of duplication.
- Solutions related to external product codes are essential for efficient warehouse management and overall logistics within the company. They enable precise product tracking, quick locating of items in the warehouse, easy inventory management, and identification of potential issues related to product quantity or expiration dates. Proper product labeling also facilitates monitoring product quality, which is crucial for compliance with industry requirements and quality standards.
2. Internal Warehouse Receipt (PW) and External Warehouse Receipt (PZ) with consideration of FIFO or LIFO methods:
- FIFO (First-In, First-Out) means that products received first into the warehouse are also the first ones to be issued from the warehouse and sold or used in production. This method is particularly popular in industries where product expiration dates are crucial, such as the food and pharmaceutical sectors. Implementing FIFO ensures that products that have been in the warehouse for a longer time are sold first, minimizing the risk of value loss or product expiration.
- LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) means that products received last into the warehouse are the first ones to be issued and sold or used. This method is used in cases where product expiration dates are not critical, and the value of units may change over time. It can also be applied in industries where product prices increase over time, as LIFO allows for selling older, lower-cost products first.
- Considering FIFO or LIFO is a crucial aspect of warehouse management, especially for products with limited shelf life or variable value. The choice of the preferred method depends on the type of products, expiration dates, customer needs, and company preferences. Our advanced warehouse management solutions enable flexible configuration to accommodate the preferred method and optimize warehouse operations while ensuring optimal inventory utilization.
- Warehouse transfer tasks refer to the process of moving goods or pallet units from one warehouse to another within the same enterprise or organization.
Here’s a breakdown of this process:
- Identification of pallet units: At the beginning, each pallet unit in the warehouse is uniquely identified by a unique code or label. It can be a GS-1 code, which allows for unambiguous marking of each pallet unit, or another internally established identification code.
- Assignment to issue documents:
When a specific item is ready for issuance, the appropriate pallet units are assigned to the corresponding issue documents, such as Goods Issue Note (GIN) or External Issue Voucher (EIV). The assignment is based on previously prepared orders, which indicate the products and quantities to be issued. - Issuance confirmation:
After pallet units are assigned to the relevant issue documents, an issuance confirmation is made, confirming that the specified pallet units have been issued from the warehouse. This confirmation can be in paper or electronic form. - Inventory update:
After the pallet units are issued, the inventory is updated, and the pallet units are removed from the warehouse. This allows for tracking product availability in the warehouse and monitoring stock levels. - Considering the issuance of specific pallet units for the appropriate documents enables precise inventory management, minimizes the risk of errors, and ensures data accuracy in the warehouse system.
Our advanced warehouse management solutions enable efficient assignment of pallet units to issue documents, allowing for fast and seamless order fulfillment and optimization of warehouse processes.
3. Inter-Warehouse Transfer tasks refer to the process of moving goods or pallet units from one warehouse to another within the same company or organization.
Here’s an elaboration of this process:
- Transfer planning: Initially, the goods or pallet units to be moved between warehouses are determined. This could be driven by the need to transfer stocks from one warehouse to another due to varying production or delivery needs.
- Generating a warehouse document (MM): After determining the goods to be transferred, the appropriate warehouse document MM is generated, confirming the execution of the transfer operation. This document contains detailed information about the transferred products, quantities, identification codes, and source and destination locations.
- Goods transfer: Based on the MM document, selected goods or pallet units are transferred between warehouses. This process is closely monitored to ensure that the transfer is carried out as instructed.
- Confirmation of execution: After the transfer is completed, the MM document is confirmed, signifying the completion of the warehouse transfer operation. The confirmation includes information about the actual quantity of transferred goods, as well as the date and time of execution.
- Updating warehouse status: Following the goods transfer, the warehouse status in both warehouses is updated to reflect the changes, removing the transferred products from one warehouse and adding them to the other.
