Inventory Process Considerations

Overview

The inventory process groups a few different operations including scanning and inventory consolidation. Here are a few considerations to keep in mind in order to properly understand this section of the system.

Considerations
  1. The Shipping > Inventory page not only counts the boxes within the inventory but the boxes within the orders of the day and future orders which status is "RW" (Received Warehouse). These sold boxes are considered by the system because they are not scanned as 'shipped' yet, which means they are still in the warehouse.
  2. Within the Inventory and Shipping process, the system takes the Lot number instead of the Box number. When receiving boxes the scanning process has to be done by Box number, not by Lot number. As a final comment, the lot number is assigned to the items when they are added to the staging area, either by manually creating the inventory or by adding the items to an AWB.
  3. When scanning boxes from the "Inventory," the system will try to locate the same box within the available inventory. If this box is not available, either because is already marked as "Inventory" or is marked as "Shipped", the system will look for another box with the same lot number that's still available to mark it as "Inventory" and swap the code numbers. This way the boxes will have the right codes based on what it was physically scanned.
  4. If the system doesn't find any available boxes, the system will save it as a discrepancy.
