1. Warehouse Inventory Transfer Orders
SG Systems is delighted to announce the latest WMS development available as an option in V5 WMS
Professional Edition V5.6.69 and above. Warehouse Inventory Transfer Orders (referred to as
‘Transfers” allows companies to schedule inventory movements between locations and manage the ‘IN-
TRANSIT’ status to account for the delivery itself.
Stock Transfer
Stock Transfers
Made very simple and intuitive, the Control Center software allows
managers to setup Sites, with their respective Stock and Production
Locations. After setup, Transfer Orders can be scheduled from Control
Center to the WMS application running on a mobile tablet computer with
an integrated barcode scanner. A Warehouse Inventory Transfer Orders is
a stock movement order placed by management within control center (or
imported through Gateway for Enterprise users). It allows management to
decide which items need to be shipped to and from a location setup in V5
Control Center.
Transfer Order Pick & Pack
Items scheduled for transit appear on the V5 WMS application. Just like a production schedule, the
transit orders appear on a list for the operator to select. Once selected, the items which require moving
are listed. Operators are then required to pick inventory and build the transfer order. The usual
Warehouse Inventory Transfer Orders rules apply, picked stock must be rotated FEFO or FIFO and within
its expiration parameters (this can be overridden by a supervisor). When all items are picked and
collected, the order status changes from ‘In Progress’ to ‘In Transit’. During the collection process,
operators can be prompted for QA specific data such as trailer number, seal number plus any other user
defined QA. A Stock Transfer Report report is now available to accompany the delivery driver.
2. Transfer Order Receiving
Upon arrival at the ‘To’ location, the driver presents the recipient with
the Stock Transfer Report. The WMS Operator, then scans the
barcode on the report to validate the stock transfer order. The
operator can now receive two different ways (defined by
management). The first method is to receive item by item, confirming
the quantity of each item and lot – in other words, verifying that all
items are present. The second method requires less verification – the
operator simply confirms all items are present. Both methods now
update the status to ‘Received’. Once the items are received, they
can be put-away into their respective stock location using the rack
aisle, row and column nomenclature and put-away rules defined by
management. To complete the transaction a Stock Transfer Received
Report confirms all stock movements for traceability and accountability.
Inventory Management
The above Warehouse Inventory Transfer Orders process allows management to accurately locate
inventory in a busy logistics environment. Goods missing in transit can be quickly identified at the
source and the transit process is fast, accurate and simple to operate. Comprehensive reporting allows
managers to see where goods are located, their freshness and which items potentially need to be moved to
a frozen or refrigerated environment. The above process reduces error and is proven to pay for itself in
administration alone.
