Inbound Control & Receiving

Major features include:

• ProCLASS supports a true "layered inventory" system by maintaining a separate record for each receiving into the warehouse, each record containing quantities and weights ordered, received, and on-hand, all costs and allowances, location codes, etc. These records can be kept on-line for any number of years and can be accessed by P.O. or by item.
• ProCLASS tracks the entry date and time, issue date, due date, appointment date and time, and the actual received date and time for each P.O.
• P.O. s due into a warehouse for any day can be viewed on-line for a quick review of case, cube, weight, and pallet counts due to arrive or scheduled to arrive, and actually received for the day. This information can also be viewed by receiver, giving a picture of the upcoming, in-progress, and/or completed workload and pallet requirements per dock.
• P.O. and receiving registers showing totals by P.O. by date range can be used for advance planning and historical review.
• ProCLASS provides the necessary reports and screens to track and manage backhauls into a warehouse.
• ProCLASS can accommodate both fixed-slot (fixed pick slots with floating, overhead) and floating-slot (multiple floating pick slots for the same item) in each warehouse. An item can even reside in both a floating, and a fixed-slot section at the same time.
• Put-away pallet labels can be generated prior to the actual receiving of goods. Two-part pallet label design accommodates receiving corrections prior to confirming the actual receipts.
• P.O. s can he partially received with a minimum of one slot for one item.
• Receiving exceptions can be entered directly and the remainder of the P.O. can be accepted as is. ProCLASS forces an input of received weights for random-weight items.
• Expected expiry dates for dated products are shown. They can be over-ridden at receiving time.
• ProCLASS will automatically allocate over-head slots for fixed-slot items as close to the picking slot as possible.
• When assigning slots to floating-slot items, ProCLASS automatically searches all the available slots with matching slot types, and from those, ProCLASS will pick slots which best match the item's movement category; fast moving items can then be assigned to easy-to-access slots.
• When receiving "special" P.O.'s (purchases made for a particular customer), ProCLASS will automatically create the customer invoice and assign the received product to the customer at the correct price.
• Reports are provided to show the slot requirements based on any number of days of due and/ or confirmed P.O.'s already in the system.
