Software for warehousing and distribution

SAP Business One has comprehensive warehouse management capabilities, allowing you to

maintain multiple warehouses with many bin locations in each, recording items as they come

into a warehouse, are checked / tested, put-away, picked and delivered.

It also allows you to control the movement of stock between locations within a warehouse or

between warehouses. The system has screens intended for use on PCs and laptops.

Frontline WMS provides the ability to use SAP's warehouse management capabilities from

ruggedised, handheld barcode scanners for booking-in, picking, delivering and doing stock

transfers.

WMS for SAP Business One

Who Needs Warehouse Management Software (WMS)?

Warehouse management software is not just for large organisations. A growing number of small and midsized business are benefiting from improved efficiencies and reduced costs associated with their warehouse through the use of warehouse management software.

Is WMS Right For My Business?

Do you need to know where stock is located, not just how much is available?

Do you need to know how much stock is allocated and how much is free to promise?

Would you like to scan a bar code rather than manually type in the item code?

Do you need warehouse operations connected to you back office system?

Do you buy in bulk and sell in smaller quantities, requiring different quantities of measure?

Do your customers receive the wrong orders?

Is inventory being misplaced?

Are your warehouse staff working overtime to meet demands?

If any of the above sounds familiar, Frontline WMS maybe the right solution for your business.

Faster Data Entry

A barcode scanner typically records data five to seven times faster than a skilled typist.

More Accurate Data Entry

Keyboard data entry typically suffers from at least one error in every 300 keystrokes. Barcode data

entry has an error rate of about 1 in 3 million.

Increase Productivity

By allowing for faster and more accurate data entry, the productivity of your warehouse staff is

increased without impacting on accuracy.

Reduced Labour Costs

By improving the speed and accuracy of your warehouse staff, you can minimise the additional

temporary staff required during peak periods.

Improve Customer Service

By minimising the number of incorrect deliveries, not only are you saving cost on returns, your

customers are benefiting from an improved customer experience.

Minimise Over Delivery

There is an almost unquantifiable cost associated with over delivering items to a customer. How often

has a customer told you that they have been sent more items than they have paid for?

Reducing Stock Level’s

The accuracy of stock control achieved when using barcodes can give you the confidence to lower stock

levels without fear of failing to fulfil customer orders, either because you are out of stock or because

stock can't be found in the warehouse. Keeping less in stock reduces the amount of money tied up in

stock.

Reduce Warehouse Costs

By minimising stock levels, you can optimise the warehouse space either resulting in a reduced need for

space or making better use of the additional space created.

Reduce Time Taken For Stock Taking

Improve the efficiency and accuracy of stock taking. Ad-hoc stock takes can also be carried out on the

spot.

Better Decision Making

Real time, accurate information about stock levels allows you to make informed business critical

decisions.

Benefits

Picking– Allows pickers to accurately and efficiently work through a pick list.

More Elsewhere– If there are not enough items available at your existing location, ‘More

Elsewhere’ will advise on alternative locations where stock is available.

Change Unit of Measure– Allows you to break up packs of items into individual items or bring

together individual items into one pack.

Walk Route– Suggests the most efficient route in order to pick a number of items based in

different locations throughout the warehouse.

Pick To Locations– Allows items to be picked prior to required delivery date and stored at a

temporary location within the warehouse. This could be a pallet within a warehouse or can be an

even more temporary location such as a basket within a trolley allowing for multiple orders to

be picked at the same time.

Filter Pick Lists By Warehouse– Pickers can be made aware of items that are only available

within their warehouse as opposed to items that are held in another warehouse.

GRPO- Accurately check items received from a supplier against items ordered at the point of delivery.

Stock Transfer– Where stock is held at an alternative warehouse or 3rd party warehouse upon goods

receipt, ‘Stock Transfer’ manages the movement from this initial location to an alternative warehouse.

Pick Face Replenishment- Used to relocate reserve stock to pick locations.

Item Info– Scan any item to find all the associated details (see images below to see Item Info for item

C00010 by Bin Location, Warehouse and All Locations)

Functionality

Stock Taking– Is made easier and more accurate with bar codes. Minimise the paper and manual

checking involved with traditional stock taking by scanning a bin and being shown what it should

contain. This can then be checked against what the bin actually contains and information relayed into

SAP Business One highlighting any write offs.

Location Info– Can be used to scan a bin and show the contents it should contain. Ideal for a

Warehouse Manager to check on an ad hoc basis if there are any concerns about the contents of a bin or

the location of certain items.

Print Labels For Item– Allows for labels to be created for items that have either been manufactured

or an item received without a label.

Print Labels For Pick To Locations– If you are creating a Pick To Location a label can be created to

show accurate information.

Sales Return– If an item is returned by a customer or is incorrectly picked, Sales Return will suggest

the location of where the item should be returned to within the warehouse.

Purchasing Returns– If an item is received from a supplier, checked into stock, but needs to be

returned due to a fault for example, Purchasing Returns effectively creates a pick list to locate all items

that need to be returned to the supplier.

Packing– Once items are picked Packaging suggest the most efficient way to pack multiple items. For

example, if 12 items are picked and 6 of these items can fit in one package, Packaging shows that 2

packages will be required.

Pick To Production Order– Creates a pick list showing the items needed to create a product. For

example, for one bike, you would need, two wheels, seat, handle bar, frame, etc.

Warehouse Info– Shows the key information about a particular warehouse, i.e. warehouse name,

shelf structure, bin locations, etc.

Print Label For Bin Locations– Can generate a new label based on location if an existing label is

illegible or missing.
