Empty pallet/Empties management

With empty pallet/empties management, you can track and return empty load units within a logistics centre. PROLAG®World manages accounts for various, freely definable transport load units (such as pallets). In order to prevent overlaps, empties management is site-dependent. For each storage or retrieval transaction involving a transport load unit for which an account is defined, the quantity is increased or reduced accordingly.

Empty pallet/Empties management
A pallet account booking for the storage and retrieval can be made automatically for the load unit in PROLAG®World. Manual bookings can also be posted using an additional dialog. Regardless of whether the booking is made automatically or manually, an account for the supplier, owner or haulier is created automatically for each transport load unit in a logistics centre if there is not one already. If an account already exists, the quantity is simply updated. A separate entry is made in the pallet account history. Configuration settings can be made for each account to determine whether all load units are listed in an additional table named ‘pallet account load unit’ specifying their unique number and current location (site).
