Mass Based Inv Adjustment [MOV007]

FUNCTIONALITY OVERVIEW

This PC based Mass check can be implemented on the factory floor to adjust the weights of product moving from one area to another. Some examples are as follows:

When working with any mass based product such as a food ingredient there are times where the actual mass of a bag needs to be checked and adjusted in the WMS software. For instance the supplier may deliver in 50lb bags. These are received through one of the receipt modules and held in stock as 50 lbs.

Then, a replenishment is created to direct a replenisher to move 50lbs into the pick face. When a single bag is picked it may very well not be 50lbs - it may be 51.5lbs. The problem with this is that we will transact 50lbs into the pick face and then at some time we will pick some product that fails to post because the software will believe that there is insufficient stock in the bin. 

This application can be linked to a weigh scale and all bags of product can be quickly weighed and the quantity adjusted to the accurate weight before it is moved on to the pick face. 

The module is particularly helpful when transacting in a lot traceable environment.
