Mobile I-point

The process is identical to using the I-point at a stationary PC where the purchase order number, article number, article quantity, load unit type and any other relevant stock characteristics are entered. There is no advance shipping notice for an unscheduled purchase order. For a scheduled purchase order, the quantity of goods entered is automatically booked in the background against the advance shipping notice (purchase order item). The goods are created in the system at the goods receipt area. The goods receipt/goods issue slip is printed and the load unit can then be physically placed in storage.

Description of the sectoring process: The employee scans the barcode on the sectored container.  If the container has been scanned already and already contains stock, the system proposes the next free sector, marked in the graphic in green. The first time a container is scanned, a selection of the sectors defined for the relevant transport LU types is displayed and the employee selects the one they see in front of them. As soon as PROLAG®Go recognises the sector and the load unit ID, a coloured graphic shows which sectors are already occupied (purple), which sectors are still free (grey) and which sector the system is proposing (green). If you work with orientation letters, the graphic is turned on its side accordingly so that the sectors are represented exactly the same as the user sees them in reality/sees them physically. The graphical overview at putaway showing the sectored transport LU types improves orientation/usability and makes it quicker and easier to find a free sector.

We also recommend the following modules in this context: ‘Barcode-supported storage of whole delivery units based on GS1 standards 202- 04’ and ‘Label creation based on GS1 standards 205- 25’.
