Warehouse Management Module
 
Sage MAS 500 ERP provides industry-leading inventory and warehouse management capabilities for wholesale distributors, manufacturers, and other companies who buy, stock, sell, or manufacturer products. The Warehouse Management module is an extension of the Inventory Management and Inventory Replenishment modules providing advanced features, including bin tracking, three-step inventory transfers, and both wave and zone picking.

Three-step inventory transfers utilize in-transit warehouses and replenishment logic to drive demand backward to source warehouses while tracking supplies as they move from warehouse to warehouse within the internal supply chain.		 MAS 500 ERP Distribution Modules

Bins are used for much more than identifying inventory locations. Bins are embedded within Sage MAS 500 to manage stock movement and inventory transactions such as receiving, picking, physical inventory counting, and even manufacturing material issues and finished goods processing. Random, fixed, temporary, and staging bins provide ample flexibility for virtually any size company regardless of warehouse configuration.

It is not efficient to pick a single order at a time in larger warehouse environments. Pickers would be running up and down aisles all day just to pick a few orders. Consequently, distributors and manufacturers with larger warehouses and more sophisticated distribution centers typically use zone or wave picking methods, which allow pickers to concentrate on items within a particular area of the warehouse. These picking methods minimize employee movement while dramatically increasing the number of orders that can be picked during each shift.

Features:
Items may be replenished (transferred) from other warehouses instead of being replenished by purchase orders or manufacturing work orders.
Once approved, transfer orders are picked just like sales orders, with pick lists and shipping lines created.
When the transfer shipment is posted, it is moved to the specified transit warehouse.
When the transfer shipment has been moved to the transit warehouse, it is available for receiving.
Define preferred bins for specific items.
Use fixed bins for items that are always stored in a specific bin location.
Use random bins for items that may be stocked in various bin locations within the warehouse.
Staging bins can be used to temporarily hold items that decrease inventory but are not used in transactions. A staging bin can contain any item and multiple items simultaneously. Items in staging bins are considered on-hand for valuation but are not available for fulfillment.
Any bin type can be defined as a temporary bin, which is automatically deleted when quantities are depleted.
Bins are assigned to warehouse locations and zones within the warehouse.
A bin can be locked down during put-away or picking.
Bins can be flagged to exclude quantities from available on-hand inventories. This is useful when receiving products for inspection or quarantine.
