1. Goods receipt
Mobile device: Scan document management system number
Relevant module: PROLAG®Go - Mobile I-point (302-03_01)
Benefits: Scheduled goods entry at the mobile I-point (PROLAG®Go) is now possible with or without advance data entry. This gives your staff greater flexibility.
Description: The PROLAG®Go I-point (scheduled putaway) now provides two new options for cases where the document management system number is a mandatory entry:
- The user scans the document management system number, which includes the delivery note number. This enables the purchase order to be selected since the link between the two numbers has already been established in the goods receipt office or transmitted by the host.
- The user scans the document management system number, which does not include the delivery note number. The delivery note number has to be scanned separately in this case. A data record with the relevant assignment is created in the goods receipt delivery note in PROLAG®World.
Example: The process is used when a supplier monitoring check is carried out. When the goods arrive, the supplier's delivery note is linked to a document management system number and created in the goods receipt office. The warehouse employee can call up the delivery note or purchase order at the I-point based on the document management system number. If the delivery note and the document management system number are not entered in advance, the scanned document management system number is linked to the delivery note that was entered and the purchase order that was called up. This allows warehouse employees to fast-track the goods receipt process, for example, for whole pallets.
2. Hazardous goods and materials
Hazardous materials at the I-point
Relevant module: Hazardous materials master (610-01)
Benefits: When hazardous materials are entered at the I-point, PROLAG®World now displays hazard pictograms, hazard statements and precautionary statements from the hazardous materials master. This provides your staff with a quick and simple overview of potential hazards.
Description: When hazardous materials are entered in the system, the relevant hazard pictograms are clearly displayed in the ‘Overview’ tab. There is also a new tab named ‘hazardous material’, which displays all the relevant hazard and precautionary statements from the hazardous materials master.
3. Shipping
Packing area with packing unit weight tolerances
Relevant module: Packing area (403-01)
Benefits: You can now define a weight check for individual packing unit transport load unit types, as well as a tolerance in percent for the weight check performed when a packing unit is closed.
Description: A weight check can be defined for individual load unit types to be carried out when a load unit is closed. A tolerance can also be configured. If the weight check is active and the target weight deviates from the actual weight by more than the percentage defined for the load unit type, the packing unit cannot be closed. The weight discrepancy for the packing unit is entered in the system and the relevant status is set for the shipment. The packing unit must then be taken to the clearing area to establish the reason for the weight discrepancy. Possible reasons for the discrepancy can be an irregular article weight, too many or too few items, an incorrect article number or extra filler material, for example. If there are shortage quantities (too few items), a difference quantity can now be determined at the clearing area in the same way as in the ‘packing area’ template. This enables reduced retrieval with secondary picking. If the weight discrepancy has been otherwise resolved and the weighed weight of the packing unit is OK, the clearing process can be completed. In this case, the ‘weight discrepancy resolved’ option is set in the packing unit and the unit can be closed.
Example: A packing unit is filled with blown eggs for Easter. Since the eggs are extremely fragile, filler material is put into the shipping box to protect them. A weight violation is detected when it comes to closing the packing unit, since the article itself hardly weighs anything at all. The discrepancy is clarified at the clearing area and the clearing process is completed. The packing unit can then be closed.
