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.
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. |
