This module can be linked to a weight scale and has been designed to correct any mass variances of lot controlled products going on to a pick slip.
When working with any mass-based product such as food ingredients, there are times where the actual mass of a bag needs to be checked and adjusted in the WMS software.
A replenishment may call for 40 pounds of a product to be placed into a pick face. A single bag of the product is picked and delivered to the pick face warehouse entrance. Before simply scanning this into the pick face the bag can be placed on a conveyor that integrates to this software to process a weight check. The screen then processes any small positive or negative stock adjustment to get the mass correct. Ensuring the mass is correct before moving the stock into a pick face bin helps to ensure that we do not get picking errors later where the picking transacts 2.34 pounds to a job but DATASCOPE WMS only has 2.1 pounds in the bin.
This module is particularly helpful when transacting in a lot traceable environment.
Enter the Bin or TrackID number in the Bin/TrackID field
Select the Stock Code
Select or enter the Lot number, if applicable.
The Bin field will load automatically
The TrackID Qty field will load automatically
Select the Fetch Mass button to pull the weight off the weigh scale. For more information on configurating a weigh scale speak to your local DSP (Datascope Solution Provider)
If no weigh scale has been configured, the Mass can be entered manually in the Fetch Mass field (next to the Fetch Mass button)
The Adjustment Value will update automatically with the difference between the Qty on the TrackID and the value entered for the actual Mass
Enter a TrackID Reference that will be be stored against the TrackID History [RPT002]
Select Post
This will adjust the mass in both SYSPRO and DATASCOPE WMS
