Inventory Lot Visibility

See every item, lot and sublot, and hold lots

Find any item and drill down to its lots and sublots with on hand, shipped, unavailable and net available quantities. Put a whole lot on hold with a reason code when stock must be quarantined, and release it later.

Where it fits

From client rates to client invoices, for 3PL warehouses.

  1. Set each client's rates once

    Each client's charge codes and rate schedule are set once, with a new effective date when prices change.

  2. Orders and trucks arrive already planned

    Orders that arrive by EDI or as web orders are reviewed and converted into warehouse receipts and shipments with one action.

  3. Every receipt and shipment on one record

    Every receipt, shipment and adjustment is handled on one record, from planning through completion.

  4. This step

    Show each client the lots you hold for them

    Any item drills down to its lots and sublots with on hand and available quantities, and a whole lot can be put on hold.

  5. Report on stock and activity, filed by role

    Standard reports show what you hold, where it sits and what moved.

  6. Invoice every client from the charges captured

    Invoices for every client on a billing cycle are generated from the charges captured and previewed before you commit them.

Questions about inventory lot visibility

Straight answers, drawn from what the software does today.

Can we put a lot on hold?

Yes. A whole lot is put on hold or taken off hold with a reason code and comment, and every hold is recorded against the user who placed it.

Can we record lots and serial numbers on every receipt and shipment?

Yes. Receipts and shipments record which lots, sublots and serial numbers moved on each line, and any item can be drilled down to its lots and sublots with on hand, unavailable and net available quantities.

Can we put a lot on hold when it is in question?

Yes. Put a whole lot on hold or off hold with a reason code and comment, and every hold is recorded against the user who placed it. Holds apply to the whole lot, not to part of it.

Can we find which location holds a lot?

Yes. Find stock by item, lot, sublot or location from one tabbed screen, and drill from any item to its lots and sublots with on hand, unavailable and net available quantities.
