Moving Stock

.wms makes it easy for you to move ULD from one location to another within your warehouse.

The overall steps involved in stock movements:

  1. Create a task for the stock that is to be moved and where it is to be moved.

  2. Pick the stock that is to be moved.

    Staff can either pick individual items or the entire ULD on to a forklift, reach truck or trolley as directed on the screen.

    Example

    Pick all the stock to be moved and place it on a ULD (pallet) that would then be transferred to another location or move an entire ULD(s).

  3. Physically move the stock to the location.

    You can optionally return the transferred ULD to a location.

    Some options could be:

    • to place the ULD in a defined bin location.

    • combine the ULDs at the new location.

    • to manually move individual items.

Example

Task - move a full pallet of stock from high racking to outbound lanes at the front of the warehouse.

Process - A user is directed to get the full ULD of stock from high racking and put the ULD in a specified drop zone in the warehouse.

Then the user is directed to take the whole ULD from the drop zone to a specified outbound lane.

Example

Task - move a full pallet of stock from high racking and distribute its stock to a few pick and drop locations at the front of the warehouse.

Process - A user is directed to get the full ULD of stock from high racking and put the whole ULD in a specified drop zone in the warehouse.

Then the user is directed to take the whole ULD from the drop zone to the pick and drop location to transfer out stock. The user is provided with items and quantities to transfer.
