What VAI's Warehouse Management Software Can Do For You

Receiving and Pallet Creation:
VAI's warehouse management software supports receiving by Purchase Order or Container and manual or RF posting of the receipt. Upon receipt, the user can note the Lots and Serial Numbers received. All items are received into the location's default Loading Dock staging bin. Using RF Pallet Creation, the system will automatically assign a pallet number and print a pallet license plate for easy tracking of item / pallet movement.

Product Movement:
S2K Enterprise Product Movement Program automatically creates move tickets for received items and for bin replenishment based on picking lane requirements and bulk stock merges. The RF Move Ticket Entry Program scans the "from" location, the item or pallet being moved, and the "to" location. Upon accepting the move, the system immediately transfers the quantity to the newly assigned bin. Item History keeps track of all movement for each product.

Order Management:
S2K Enterprise for Metals Warehouse Management software features an Order Manager module that allows warehouse managers to view and select sales orders and warehouse transfer orders for individual or wave picking based on a myriad of sort criteria. The Order Manager allows users to view the selected orders and group orders for picking based on weight, cubic measure, quantity, or line items, and then offers users a choice to create consolidated or individual pick tickets. The Order Manager provides the ability to review picking in progress and analyze performance by Area, Zone and Picker.

Picking:
This robust warehouse management software supports paper based and RF picking. From the Order Manager, the system will generate a pick ticket that will display items based on Area, Zone, Path and Bin sequence. RF picking can then be utilized to scan the bin and the item being picked. Upon scanning, the system will verify that the correct bin, item and quantity were picked and then move the item to the user's staging bin. A bar coded picking label can be automatically generated to track the tote or pallet used for picking the order.

Order Verification:
S2K Enterprise Order Verification allows the user to verify the items that have been picked against the customer order. Upon scanning, the system will verify that the correct item and quantity was picked.

In addition, the system prompts for any serial numbers or lot numbers that may be required. Box (carton) tracking is available to allow the user to designate which items are in a specific box. Upon ending each box, the system will allow the user to enter in the weight, ship-via, freight charges and the tracking number of each box.

Upon ending the order, the system will prompt the user to backorder any short shipped items and total all the cartons and freight charges for the order. The user has the option to print a packing list or an invoice. The user can designate the orders being shipped on a specific truck and generate a bill of lading. For EDI orders, UCC-128 labels and 856 Advance Ship Notices can be generated.

Warehouse Transfers:
S2K Enterprise for Metals Warehouse Management software can automatically or manually create warehouse transfers for both inter-location and inter-company transfers. Suggested transfers are based on the usage, transfer lead-time, and minimum requirements of each location. Use the Transfer Maintenance Program to review suggested transfers and adjust the stock allocations for each item by location. Transfers are then released to the Order Manager for picking.

Cycle and Physical Counting:
The Cycle and Physical Counting programs included in VAI's warehouse management software suite provide management with tools to control and gauge the accuracy of current inventory records maintained in the locator system. Automatic cycle counting takes place continuously based on the cycle class code assigned in the item master file. The cycle count process writes transaction records, prints count sheets, allows RF-based counting and produces variance reports. Full physical inventory counting is supported using wireless terminals or count sheets. Detailed inquiries display all counting activity and variances reported.
