Hi all,
A while back, Tim Schofield asked about the next installment of documentation for a WMS. Later today, I hope to have MaryBeth upload a
Receiving Document for WMS. She worked on the system I was responsible for developing a few years ago and was an integral part of development, including documentation and testing. The Receiving document is hers.
I uploaded a document on Cycle Count last year. It's the way to introduce existing inventory to a new WMS. See the thread
Warehouse management, bin locations, barcode scanning, etc.,

Receiving is the way to add further inventory to the warehouse on an ongoing basis. The design we did has several important features:
- forklift operator can be scheduled multiple jobs
- forklift operator can be assigned different types of jobs (picking, moving, etc)
- if warehouse office sees that the unload count does not match the PO and Bill of Lading, the job can be assigned again, to the same or different operator.
- In general, there is lots of flexibility, so jobs like scheduling vendor deliveries can be done efficiently.
Read the document for the full description.
Which will be uploaded shortly. Happy reading!
