Introduction To Alba360 Wms: Bar Coding And Warehouse Management For Microsoft Dynamics Gp

WMS Functions:

Alba360 WMS for Dynamics GP enables extended versions of the Receiving, Inventory, Picking and Shipping transactions to be processed within the data capture system. It supports the following WMS functions.

*Receiving and Put-Away: allows users to receive inventory against purchase orders in Dynamics GP via wireless handheld scanners. The scanning interface identifies the item configuration in Dynamics GP and displays appropriate information and prompts. Lot tracked items and serialized items are also fully supported. Labels can be generated by the WMS systems during Receiving or within the Purchasing and Inventory modules in Dynamics GP. Before printing labels, the user has the option to modify the quantity of labels to be printed in the Receiving Labels Preview window.

*Bin Transfers: PO items are received into the default Receiving BIN configured in Dynamics GP. Alba360 WMS allows BIN transfers for items within unposted Purchase Receiving transactions as well as items in the inventory.

*Picking & Fulfillment: allows picking to be done in waves or on an order-by-order basis. Batches of orders can be processed based on pre-configured delivery rules. Alba360 WMS allows shipping to validate orders being fulfilled through the scanner, preventing errors and providing key information to the warehouse workers. Shipping labels containing customer information and order references are automatically generated during the fulfillment process. It also supports fulfillment workflow based on standard, lot tracked, and serialized item types.

*Site Transfers, Inventory Adjustments & Stock Counts: allows site-to-site transfer transactions, bin-to-bin inventory moves and adjustments via barcode scanner. Users can perform stock counts based on Stock Count Schedules defined in Dynamics GP.

Choosing the Right Bar Coding System for Microsoft Dynamics GP

Selecting the right Warehouse Management System (WMS) or Bar Coding system to extend a corporate ERP system is not straightforward or cheap, but the benefits to efficiency, customer service and purchasing from having real time distribution data in the ERP system are potentially very large.   Here are some considerations to bear in mind when deciding which of the wide variety of available Warehouse Management solutions is right for you.
 
Focus

Some systems specialize in manufacturing, assembly and finished goods tracking.  Others focus on warehouse management and other on the basic  functions  needed to track inventory and sales operations within the ERP system
 
Level of sophistication

There are several standalone WMS applications available in the market today that have rich functionality in relation to actively managing physical inventory operations.  However research has shown that only twenty percent of the features included in sophisticated warehouse management systems are actually used by smaller companies (i.e. $ 5-50 million revenue).
 
Flexibility

Everyone uses the same functions (Receiving, Put Away, Stock Counts, Transfers, Picking, Fulfillment and Shipping).  They may also use the same functionality but often need to adjust data capture workflow in order to optimize efficiency.  It should be possible to modify the system to handle this, if needed.
 
Additional data

Some industries need to use Lot Numbering or Serialization. Other considerations are Bin Allocation and License Plating (where inventory is tracked at the pallet level.)
 
Level of integration

Some systems are designed to operate directly within Dynamics GP, but the majority require an additional interface to transfer data to and from GP.  This adds a level of complexity and maintenance which is not ideal in smaller environments.
 
The relative importance of these considerations for you will depend on how your distribution operations work.  In our experience, many companies receive a higher rate of return from simpler WMS solutions which are directly integrated to the corporate ERP system.
 
The Alba360 WMS Warehouse Management system was developed to enable small to mid-sized businesses to track inventory operations without unnecessary complexity.  Functionality includes receiving, put-away, transfers, stock counting, picking and shipping operations.  Direct integration with Dynamics GP allows all activity to be captured and visible in real time within the Dynamics GP environment.
