The Qguar WMS Pro system allows you to supplement product records with batch and carrier numbers. This gives the user insight into the detailed history of both parameters. What are the benefits of this?
In WMS-class systems, each product is described by a lot of data, including a unique number, name, and GTIN (Global Trade Item Number). However, to gain access to more advanced search or tracking options, it is necessary to collect data on the product batch. Thanks to this, the user can very easily locate an item in the warehouse down to a specific batch, view its entire movement history, and check which carrier and location it is on. When entering two identical products into the warehouse that differ by batch number, Qguar WMS Pro will create two separate items for them on the warehouse content list to maintain order and minimize the probability of error.
Qguar WMS Pro enables the aforementioned batch tracking. This allows the user to trace the entire history of a given product, e.g., from the moment of receipt into the warehouse to delivery to the end recipient. This includes operations related to returns, deliveries, warehouse transfers, and even, which is particularly important, changes in the quality status of a given product. Imagine a situation where a manufacturer informs the warehouse about a defective batch of a given product. In a few simple steps, the user is able to locate this batch in the warehouse and change its status to blocked, which will prevent it from being issued. If, on the other hand, the defective goods have reached the customer, tracking the shipment details will allow them to be located. Batch tracking will also work in the case of changes in the product’s quality status resulting from warehouse events, e.g., damage or destruction of a given batch of goods. Qguar WMS Pro allows you to check when the event occurred and who was responsible for it.
No less important from the point of view of a Qguar WMS Pro software user is the management of carrier numbers. In the warehouse content window, you can find basic data for them – their location in the warehouse (or outside it) and a list of products located on them. Based on the carrier number, you can trace its history, which displays all operations it has participated in, such as deliveries, transfers, operations on this carrier, or shipments. Thanks to this, it is easy to trace where the carrier has been and which shipments it has participated in. The data contained in the carrier’s history also allows you to determine who owns the goods on it and to clarify any shortages and discrepancies in stock levels.
Managing batch and carrier numbers are key functions for efficient warehouse management. They allow not only for more precise management of goods but also for excluding them from circulation in the event of a defect or clarifying discrepancies in stock levels.
