Directed Put Away and Storage Optimization
• WMS supports flexible rules based directed put away.
• The benefits of directed put away and storage optimization include the following:
– Minimizing warehouse storage fragmentation
– Increasing storage utilization
– Increasing efficiency of warehouse operations
Cross Docking
• Redirects inbound items to the shipping dock. The following criteria are used to determine when to cross dock:
– Cross Docking must be enabled in the organization.
– Backordered sales order lines for the item must exist.
– Backorders fulfilled in userdefined priorities.

Directed Picking
• The directed picking process enables you to pick orders using either mobile RF devices or paper pick slips. With directed picking you can:
– Direct order pickers to specific pick-from locations based on user defined picking rules
– Assign pick to deplete in order to free up space
Pick Methodologies
• Picking methodologies determine how the system assigns picking tasks to warehouse operators. Pick methodologies include the following:
Cluster picking
Order picking
Zone picking
Bulk picking
User-defined picking
Wave Picking
Pick and Pass/Label picking
Compliance Labeling
• Using a set of user-defined rules, compliance labeling selects the appropriate label format and content for a specific task. Specifically, compliance labeling does the following:
– Integrates to 3rd party label design and printing systems.
– Prints to either a local or remote location, based on user or system directions.
– Generates any number of unique formats for a single warehouse label.
The control board provides warehouse managers with a real-time snapshot of the progress of work across the warehouse. The WMS control board enables warehouse managers to:
- Manage work tasks by activity type and resource.
- Track the progress of work and direct their workforce to areas that might be lagging behind.
- Re-assign tasks, which have already been accepted by an employee, to another employee.

License Plate Numbers
• A license plate number (LPN) represents any object that exists in a location and holds items.
• All material received through Oracle WMS is associated with a unique LPN. This enables material to easily be tracked and transacted throughout your warehouse without scanning the item, quantities, lots or serial numbers.
LPN # A3825RS
Material StatusMaterial Status
• Material status is the list of allowed and disallowed transactions for a particular lot, serial, subinventory or locator.
• Material status enables you to control the movement and usage of material for portions of your inventory.
• Material status enables you to control which transactions are valid for a particular item lot or item serial.

WMS Rules EngineWMS Rules Engine
Based on user defined rules, the rules engine can:
• Suggest material location for picking
• Suggest put away location for License Plate Numbers (LPNs)
• Assign a task type to a task
• Assign a cost group to transactions
• Format labels for printing

Tasks and Task ManagementTasks and Task Management
• A task is defined as a unit of work.
• Task management is the process of effectively distributing and allocating tasks within a warehouse to maximize labor productivity and equipment utilization.
• Provides insights into labor productivity and accurate methods for measuring work output.
• Uses real time data to compute and report on various tasks such as productivity, employee and equipment utilization, available jobs, and resource scheduling.
• The WMS Control Board is used to monitor productivity and utilization.
Task ManagementTask Management
• There are three tasks that are currently supported by WMS. These include:
– Picking tasks
– Replenishment tasks
– Put away tasks (not currently dispatched by the system)
Task ResourcesTask Resources
• Resources are defined to group employees with similar skills together, and to group equipment with similar characteristics together.
• Resources are assigned to task types.
Compliance LabelingCompliance Labeling
• Enable the system to suggest the label format and information content that are used to print a given label
• Print labels automatically using Business Flows transactions
• Print labels according to rules based on customer, item, order type or carrier.
