Combining radio frequency and barcode technology, Advanced Warehousing integrates seamlessly with SAP Business One to provide the warehousing link in a total supply chain solution which offers a feature-rich solution to automate, streamline and verify all your in-warehouse processes. From the receiving dock to the shipping dock, Advanced Warehousing tracks every movement of stock into, out of, and within the warehouse.
RF Picking – This core module supports multiple styles of RF picking, picking stations, split pack-sizes, batch-pick and repack, shipment labels, and warehouse packing slips. Pick bins are replenished using Hot Replenishment, which is the process of requesting that inventory be replenished to pick bins to meet current sales order requirements.
RF Receiving – This core module supports paperless check-in, product and carton labeling. It also supports non-PO receiving, for warehouses that allow receipt of products into the warehouse that do not appear on a purchase order.
RF Locator – This module supports bin labeling, real-time multi-bin stock locator, paperless adjustments, and real-time cycle counting.
Web Dispatch – This is the web-based user interface for Advance Warehousing accessed with Internet Explorer from any client PC. The Web Dispatch core module provides reporting capabilities to monitor daily warehouse operations in real time, and to generate historical reports. Web Dispatch also displays sales, work and purchase orders in the warehouse. To allow warehouse managers to control order processing in the warehouse via Web Dispatch, you should purchase the Order Management module.
Order Management – This module allows you to plan your warehouse activities, allocate stock to specific customers according to your corporate policies, and manage your fill rate and backorders.
Multi-Zone – A zone is an area within a physical location where inventory is stored or different activities are performed. A zone serves to organize stock and warehouse staff workloads. The Multi Zone module allows you define up to 26 zones. This module enables zone picking, pick and pass picking, multi-zone simultaneous and sequential picking, and replenishment by zone.
Lots/Serial/Expiry – This module allows attributes to be assigned to a product. An attribute is characteristic of a product that differentiates it from other products of the same type, such as lot number, serial number, expiry date, color, size. The attribute number appears in a field after the main product number, separated by a character delimiter such as a slash. This module tracks attributes through the warehouse and provides advanced allocation and inventory controls for attributes.
Advanced Replenishment – This module supports Advanced Replenishment, which is the process of requesting that inventory be replenished from overstock bins to pick bins before products are actually required to fill sales orders. Warehouses are configured to use one of two types of advance replenishment: min/max, or days on hand. Min/max replenishment is based on a predefined minimum quantity of product that must be in pick bins. Days on hand replenishment is based on a defined minimum number of days that the product must be available in pick bins. When a dispatcher runs the Advanced Replenishment function in Web Dispatch, the system issues replenishment requests for bins that are found to be below this minimum.
Kitting – A kit is a unique product composed of a number of other products, sold as a single unit. The kitting functionality enables the collecting and assembling of individual products to create a new, saleable product unit.
Container Receiving – This module enables the process of receiving products into the warehouse against the inbound manifest rather than individual purchase orders. This simplifies check-in, improves accuracy, and speeds your operations. This module also provides the ability to break outbound sales orders into deliveries.
License Plates – This module provides a tool to assign License Plates to groups of products. License Plates can contain similar or different items. It is often convenient to track serial numbers by License Plates. Pre-pack assortments in License Plates can be allocated and picked even though the order is for the individual items.
Putaway/Slotting – This module enables directed putaway, which allows a putaway driver to search for an appropriate bin to which to move a product during Receiving, Fill Bins, and Direct Move functions. Suggestions provided to the user are based on empty bins, or current bin locations. The module also provides slotting reports to improve productivity.
