Warehouse Management

Use Enterprise’s Warehouse Management software module for more complex warehouse management. You can define fixed and floating positions, the latter particularly requiring special equipment such as forklifts, although in practice representing any temporary storage for an item. Enterprise offers optimised put-away, whereby it will automatically suggest the optimum location for items received. Similarly picking lists can suggest the optimum pick location. Picking lists are sorted by position, to make picking faster.

Enterprise also offers an interface for forklift drivers, designed to be run on a tablet device mounted on the forklift, running on a wireless network. The interface is button-driven, so users can operate it even while wearing gloves. It can display the next pick required, and also has buttons for printing labels and outers and for finishing the pick.

Multi-currency

Many systems cannot handle the process of buying in one currency and selling in another, from the point of view of stock valuation. Not Enterprise. Goods receipts save the currency the goods were charged in, with the current exchange rate at the date of booking in the stock. Enterprise allows you to update cost prices of any range of stocked items with a maintenance process. This process can use the exchange rate at the date of goods receipt, to ensure a match with stock reports.

Batch/Lot and Serial Numbers

Goods receipts can be raised automatically from purchase orders. If the item ordered is serial numbered, Enterprise splits the goods receipt so that each line has a quantity of one, and all that needs to be entered is the serial number. On picking the order (whether on the Order or Delivery), the user can select the batch or serial number from a list of those available in that location.

Specifications can be created per Batch, that include item dimensions, production date, best before date, and any text to accompany the Batch through the system. Enterprise produces a serial number history report, which lists all movements by item for any range of items. Batches are similarly fully tracked and can have annotations of best before dates.

Stocktaking

Enterprise produces stocktaking lists and allows stock to be written off after a stocktake. Counts can be complete or cyclical. Enterprise produces:

• stock count sheets, with or without system quantities


• stock count variance reporting


• automation for writing off/writing back of variances.

Stocktaking is particularly effective when using a realtime barcoding device, such as a Windows Mobile or iPod Touch barcode scanner. These devices allow Enterprise to run real-time over wireless networks, capturing barcode information directly into server-side
