Both inbound and outbound dock activities can be scheduled, which allow better visibility and improved facility utilization.

Inbound shipments with immediately needed product or shipments requiring rush services can be marked as "Hot", to alert associates to pay special attention to these shipments.

The schedule is visable to all associates at all times. Any scheduling changes are visable immediately.

Worksheets can be produced with the scheduled for situations where on-line access is not viable.

Notifications provide important data for managing the inbound side or your operations. They can be recorded and updated as more accurate data becomes available.

Staging allows you to verify a shipment is complete before putting product away in the warehouse. WDLS supports both staged and un-staged receiving operations.

Tally sheets are still used in paper based operations for receiving. Several standard formats are available.

Overages, Shortages, and Damage recording are supported. Editing insures the total quantity expected is accounted for.

Both directed and passive put-away processing is supported. In a directed scheme, a rules table is used to recommend the best putaway location for product.

Charging for handling, storage, and accessorial fees are fully supported. Auto-charging and confirmation logic insures appropriate charges are applied.

Soft allocated future shipments and advanced shipment notifications are analyzed to identify incoming shipments with hot products.

Lot codes are used by manufacturers to track manufacturing runs and control FIFO sequencing of inventory and shelf life. WDLS supports multiple lotting levels.

Tracking product location within the warehouse eliminates inefficiencies in tracking down products. WDLS supports a number of methodologies for locating products.

Tracking quantity in location by item and lot leads to very accurate inventories and optimal stock commitment to shipments.

Serializing or license plating product can be used to support one-shot RF scanning and product recall requirements.

Soft allocation allows logic to look at future item requirements. Hard allocation reserves specific items and lots for shipment.

Kitting handles all the inventory transations required to convert quantities of component items to units of finished goods for shipping.

Forward pick areas can be used for all small quantity picks with large quantities picked in storage configurations from overflow locations.

Replenishment is the process of re-filling the forward pick areas from overflow as the stock is drawn down.

Balance inquiries give real-time smapshots of inventory quantities and locations.

Activity histories support stock research by showing the chronology of transations and running balance as they occurred.

Stock conditions can be used to isolate stock for quality control, incubation, shelf life, or an other reason.

Adjustments to inventory are categorized and require reason codes. Specific types of adjustment can be isolated to specific operators.

Orders can be recorded in WDLS and manipulated by logic and associates to achieve optimal fulfillment objectives.

The status of the order through each processing step is captured and available to all associates.

Logic, tools and setup options aid in prioritizing shipments to meet customer requirements.

Picking schemes can be used to match stock commitment and picking logic to the best operating practices on the account.

Batch picking streamlines the picking travel by picking multiple orders together, which improves throughput.

Consolidated shipments are linked in the system for streamlined processing and paperwork.

Parcel tracking numbers and shipping costs can be captured and tied to shipments.

UCC-128 labels and RFID labels tied to advance shipment notifications allow partners further down the supply chain to prepare for your shipments.

Shipment confirmation is a key point in order handling. Logic insures all information is complete based upon the specific customer requirements.

Accessorial charges are created during order processing for inclusion during periodic invoice processing.

Accurate paperwork is produced whether it be standard bills, masterbills, freight bills, or VICS bills to insure industry compliance.

Tagged inventories involved tagging inventory and recording items and counts against tag numbers. Worksheed inventories used paper worksheets based upon inventory locations of record in the system.

Cycle counting is a practice of on-goung inventory couning based upon product profile or location.

Inventories often involve 2 or more counts of an item. Re-count processing manages activities when these counts don't agree.

Book-to-count reports and inquiries are used to identify deviations resulting in the inventory count. They may require additional count validation or lead to historical research of activity.

Once counts are verified, a posting process adjusted the book inventory to the amounts found during the counting process.

Storage invoicing bills for strage on a recurring period. Period based, anniversary, and grace periods are all supported.

Accessorial invoices are typical produced on a periodic cycle. These charge for contractually assessed fees for services and equipment ties to shipments.

Summary invoicing can combine charges usually invoiced by different processes into a single summary billing.

Freight invoicing charges for shipping costs determined during rating.
