Packaging stock
Table of contents
Introduction
Many warehouses need to keep track of how much packaging material they have on hand, that is, how many boxes or pallets of a certain type there is in stock. Ongoing WMS has a special function for dealing with this. It allows you to keep track of stock balances for packaging materials per goods owner.
This function is not enabled by default. Please get in touch with your contact person at Ongoing Warehouse and ask them to enable it.
Usage
Use Administration ⇒ Packaging types to define which packaging materiales (boxes and pallets) are to be used for each goods owner.
Use Warehouse ⇒ Packaging stock overview to check current stock balances, receive stock, do adjustment transactions, and move stock between goods owners.
Use "Warehouse ⇒ Packaging stock transactions" to check transactions.
Whenever you pick an order, you input which packaging materials have been used. At the end of each day, the system will automatically deduct these packaging materials from stock. Note that this is not done in real time, but rather once per day.
