Inventory Tickets
General modifications of warehouse inventory occur through the use of tickets, which are created as part of standard receiving and order management processes. These tickets, including picking, stowing, and transfer actions, are used to govern the flow of material into and out of a warehouse and ensuring full accountability at all times.
Tickets are created as an output of the various warehouse processes, and may be found in the general Inventory Tickets search page, as shown below.
This screen allows for current and historical tickets to be viewed, and to narrow down to specific actions being performed. In the example above several tickets were executed and completed.
A second menu option, My Inventory Tickets, allows a user to go directly to tickets assigned to the individual as a tasking. The user may then open the ticket and perform the activities required.
To view an example ticket, the screen below shows a ticket for picking material from the warehouse in support of an outbound order. This ticket shows the item to be picked, and is in the process of assigning the ticket to a warehouse team member for work.
Once assigned, the indivdual may start work on the ticket. Note that there is a distinction between assigning a ticket and starting the ticket, as a user may have a variety of tickets assigned at the start of a shift. The user should start the ticket when ready to actually work the ticket itself. If the assignment aligns with starting, the drop down menu on the assignment dialog above allows the ticket to be automatically started.
Once started the user will be able to pick and confirm inventory, either by quantity, serial number, or lot number. The screen below shows a confirmation dialog as the user picks material from the source location.
After the user picks the material from the various source locations, they need to pack it into a package. The packing process may be executed manually at a packing station if special processing is required, or may be packed in a single package with one click. The screen below shows the packing options on the ticket.
In this example, the user has picked the item and may quick pack the material or log the material into the packing station for additional processing.
Note that material may or may not support the quick pack function, depending on the item configuration. If any item on the order does not support quick pack, then the order will require a manual packing process. This is useful to ensure that specific packing requirements are met and packing directions are followed.
Once packed, the manifest for all packages may be printed to enclose within the package, and to support scanning and processing any any subsequent steps such as shipping stations and pickup areas.
