Warehouse Movements
WAREHOUSE MOVEMENTS
This module covers the inventory transactions that would be performed within a warehouse. These are not transactions related to receiving or picking; they focus on general warehouse movements.
Alternative Stock – This scanner and PC program allows a user to scan a TrackID and to convert the SKU on this TrackID to another SKU if the relationship has been set up in the SYSPRO Alternate Stock Code Cross Reference system. The transaction posts a negative stock adjustment out of the SKU and a positive adjustment in of the replacement SKU. If there is a cost difference, this is posted to the stock variance account as set in the software settings. Conversion factors can also be applied when posting these transactions.
TrackID Consolidate—This scanner transaction moves a stock code or a portion of stock from one TrackID to another. It is mainly used to clean up partial pallets. Options exist to default the quantity to the pallet quantity and auto-post transactions.
Inventory Backflushing – Here, the scanner processes simple inventory backflush transactions on the factory floor. The system settings determine the level to backflush, i.e., Single or All, and the new TrackID label is printed according to the user’s warehouse and print station settings.
Put Away Consolidate—This scanner application is used to put away a pallet with multiple SKUs. The screen walks the user through placing the stock into the default pick face locations in a pick face warehouse or onto pallets with the same SKU on them in a bulk warehouse.
Information Check—This scanner and PC screen show a general information check. Here, we can query the locations of a stock code, the content of a TrackID, etc.
Put Away – The Put Away screen moves full TrackIds from the receiving marshaling bins into the warehouse. Depending on the settings in the software, one can directly put away in a warehouse or warehouse and zone or warehouse, zone, and open bin. Users not following these instructions are recorded with the option of an override required from a supervisor. A cross-dock prompt can also be triggered at put-away if the replenishment system indicates that stock is required in the pick face. This can be set up only to request cross dock if there is no available stock in bulk or anytime the pick face drops below the re-order quantity.
Bin Transfers—This scanner program is used to move a TrackID from one bin to another. Additionally, if the destination bin scanned is in another warehouse, an immediate transfer will be performed, and all the stock on the TrackID will be moved, provided the stock codes have been set up for the destination warehouse in SYSPRO.
Job Returns – The job return function on the scanner allows a user to scan a TrackID for a product issued to a Job and return a new quantity into stock.
MSN Palletization—This program labels and builds up pallets in the receiving area. It is used extensively when Master TrackID receiving is in place. The screen is highly configurable, allowing users to default the quantity to pan size, force users to scan stock codes, and prevent mixing of stock codes on a TrackID.
Carton Put away – This scanner program is used to scan away carton stock where we are the 2D carton labeling in play.
Expense Issues – These transactions can be posted on a mobile device or PC. This is used to expense issue consumable stock items or machine spare parts. The transaction issues the stock to a GL account.
