Inventory & WMS

Every stock screen — levels, planning (reorder, ATP, MRP), quality and traceability, valuation and layers, warehouse execution (bins, put-away, pick waves, packing, dock), stock documents, counts, consignment, ABC/cycle counting and silage.

Available with the Inventory module. Bins, put-away, replenishment, pick waves, packing, carriers, dock & yard and the warehouse map need WMS; the weighbridge needs Silage.

Visibility

Stock Levels (/inventory/stock-levels)

On-hand quantities and weighted-average cost by product and warehouse for the whole catalogue. Click a product for its movement history. Filters: warehouse, category, below-minimum, zero stock.

Flow (/inventory/flow)

Live warehouse pipeline — inbound (POs → receipts → put-away), internal (transfers, replenishments, counts), outbound (reservations → pick waves → packs → deliveries). Click a stage to filter; drill into a chain.

Stock Movements (/inventory/stock-movements)

Audit trail of every increase/decrease/transfer with source document, lot/serial, bin, cost and user.

Valuation (/inventory/valuation)

Stock value by warehouse and product (quantity × weighted-average or layer cost). Reconciles to the inventory GL account.

Stock Layers (/inventory/stock-layers)

FIFO / LIFO / FEFO receipt layers with remaining quantity and unit cost — what decreases consume and what landed costs re-value.

Lots & Serials (/inventory/stock-lots)

Lot and serial balances with quality status (available / quarantine / failed), expiry, supplier lot. Serial trace shows where a unit is now and every movement it made.

Lot genealogy (/inventory/lot-genealogy)

Graph of a lot's origins (supplier lots, components) and destinations (production outputs, deliveries, customers).

Supply network (/inventory/supply-network)

Map of warehouses, suppliers, customers and the flows between them; stock per node.

Planning

Reorder Suggestions (/inventory/reorder-suggestions)

Products below reorder point, safety stock or min stock right now — with lead time and preferred supplier. One-click draft POs grouped by supplier.

Available to promise (/inventory/available-to-promise)

Per product and date: on-hand − reservations + inbound POs + open production. Used by sales orders to confirm dates.

MRP planning (/inventory/mrp)

Multi-level, time-phased planning over a horizon (7–365 days) for one warehouse (its stock, orders and production orders) or all. Horizons up to 14 days plan in daily buckets, longer ones in weekly buckets.

  • Gross requirements per product and bucket: open sales order lines (remaining qty on the expected delivery date), forecast (sales history × seasonality, or sensed demand, spread over the horizon), unissued components of open production orders, and dependent demand from planned parents.
  • Netting: available on-hand (quarantined/failed lots excluded) minus safety stock (or the reorder point if higher), plus scheduled receipts — open PO lines on their expected date and the remaining output (and co-products) of open production orders on their due date. Past-dated demand and receipts count on day one; anything after the horizon is ignored.
  • Make or buy follows the product's procurement method. A shortfall becomes one proposal per bucket. The quantity is raised to the product's min order qty (if set) and then rounded up to the next order multiple (if set); leave both at zero for lot-for-lot. Set them on the product in Master Data. Make: start date = need date − manufacturing lead time (total routing hours for the quantity ÷ the lowest work-center hours per day, else the product lead time); the default BOM version is exploded — component qty = parent qty × line qty ÷ BOM output qty × (1 + scrap %). Phantom components pass straight through to their own components; by-products and co-products are not demand. Buy: order date = need date − product lead time, preferred supplier attached.
  • Products are planned in low-level-code order, so each item is netted once with all of its parents' demand. Each proposal shows its level, need date, order/start date and what it is pegged to (parent proposal, sales order, production order, forecast or safety stock).
  • Exceptions: past-due proposals (order date before the run date), BOM cycles (the closing link is not exploded), items without a BOM or supplier, and make items without a BOM.
  • Create PO / Create MO per line: the draft PO gets the need date as expected delivery; the production order is planned with the need date as due date and the start date as planned start. Running MRP again for the same warehouse scope marks older runs' unconverted suggestions as skipped, and orders you converted count as supply.

Shelf life rules (/inventory/shelf-life-rules)

Minimum remaining shelf life per customer and product; enforced when posting deliveries and when receiving.

Quality & traceability

Quality

Inspections, NCRs, CAPA and usage decisions on quarantined lots live in Safety & Quality. Perishable mode still auto-creates receiving checklists and holds lots in quarantine until passed.

Lot Recalls (/inventory/lot-recalls)

Trace a lot forward to customers and backward to suppliers; optionally quarantine remaining stock; export the recall report.

Warehouse execution (WMS)

Reservations (/inventory/reservations)

Soft holds created by draft deliveries and invoices; hard allocations from pick waves. Release or re-prioritise.

Pick Waves (/inventory/pick-waves) — PW · stock ↓

Group reserved stock into pick lists. Statuses draft → released → picking → completed | cancelled. Completing a wave decreases stock from bins and feeds Packs. The warehouse map's pick-path lens can reorder lines.

Warehouse tasks (/inventory/tasks)

"What to do next" queue for floor staff: put-aways, pick waves, replenishments, cross-dock receipts — assignable and sortable by priority.

Warehouse map (/inventory/warehouse-map)

3D map (dimensions from warehouse layout settings) with live stock and work. Slotting lens proposes swaps → Apply creates a draft replenishment. Pick-path lens walks open pick-wave lines → Apply reorders line positions. Shift simulator estimates workload.

Bin Locations (/inventory/bins)

Bin master data: zone, aisle, rack, level, type (storage/picking/receiving/shipping), capacity, min/max for picking bins.

Put-Away Rules (/inventory/put-away-rules)

Suggest bins by product, category or default zone; strategies (fixed bin, nearest empty, same-lot consolidation).

Put-Aways (/inventory/put-aways) — PA

Assign received stock to bins after a goods receipt; confirm per line.

Replenishments (/inventory/replenishments) — RPL

Directed moves from storage bins into picking bins below min quantity. Created manually, from the slotting lens, or automatically.

Packing (/inventory/packs) — PCK

Pack picked lines into cartons/pallets, record weights, print shipping labels (SHL) via carriers.

Carriers (/inventory/carriers)

Carrier accounts; enable Live API for DHL, UPS, FedEx or GLS to buy labels and get tracking.

Dock & Yard (/inventory/dock-appointments) — DA / WD

Schedule inbound/outbound appointments, check in trailers, assign dock doors, track dwell time.

Return Receipts (/inventory/return-receipts) — WRR · stock ↑

Inspect returned goods; restock (increase into stock) or scrap; linked to sales returns.

Stock documents

Goods Issues (/inventory/goods-issues) — GDI · stock ↓

Record decreases for consumption, scrap, samples, internal use or other outbound movements, with a reason and optional cost center/project.

Landed Costs (/inventory/landed-costs) — LC

Allocate freight, duty and insurance (from purchase invoices or manual) onto posted goods receipts and their cost layers by value, quantity or weight.

Stock Transfers (/inventory/stock-transfers) — STK · transfer

Move stock between warehouses at weighted-average cost. Statuses draft → in_transit → posted | cancelled: Ship decreases the source (stock sits in transit), Receive increases the destination. Used for store replenishment and van stock.

Stock Counts (/inventory/stock-counts) — SCT · GL post

Physical, cycle and annual (попис) counts.

  • Build from a warehouse (all products or a filter) with count kind full, cycle or annual.
  • Annual: a committee (≥ 2 members: chair, secretary, members), Start & freeze stock (warehouse frozen; system quantities snapshotted; counted quantities zeroed), blank count sheets PDF for the committee, enter counts, then Post adjustments.
  • Posting writes increase/decrease movements per difference and posts Dr Inventory shortage / Cr Inventory and Dr Inventory / Cr Inventory surplus; the freeze is released. Cancelling also releases the freeze.
  • Statuses draft → in_progress → posted | cancelled.

Consignment (/inventory/consignment) — CAG / CMV

Customer and supplier consignment agreements and movements (ship, return, receive, consume). Consigned stock stays visible and valued correctly; consumption triggers invoicing.

Returnable containers (/inventory/returnable-containers) — RCX

Pallets, crates, gas bottles tracked per customer with deposits — issue, return, settle.

Counting programmes

ABC Classification (/inventory/abc-classification) — ABC

Rank products by revenue or usage and assign A/B/C classes by cumulative thresholds; writes the class to products.

Cycle Counting (/inventory/cycle-counting) — CCP

ABC-driven schedules (A monthly, B quarterly…) that generate cycle stock counts automatically.

Silage (/inventory/silage)

Weighbridge intake: weighments (gross/tare/net), clients, materials; history from the Uktupus Scale desktop app. Requires the silage entitlement.

  • Retail store replenishment: Retail
