Outbound Warehouse Request Extension Fact Sheet

OWR provides the user with a view of all orders pending shipment. The Pick Request feature enables the user to create and manage large numbers of picks in an intuitive and easy-to-understand, but functionally-rich environment – a capability no longer reserved for only the most sophisticated Warehouse Management Systems.

OWR uses filters to preview potential daily shipments. This provides the opportunity to evaluate how the user wants to prioritize orders for that day’s shipments:

• Stock availability
• Preferred customers
• Completed orders
• Ship complete / partial
• Package carrier
• Highest revenue
• Order volume
• Or a multitude of parameters that fit your specific needs at that time.

As the user prepares picks, OWR Pick Request will perform a soft allocation of inventory, providing accurate knowledge of what is available to ship. This eliminates the problem of two people attempting to pick the same inventory.

The user can select multiple orders, and create a single pick for each order.

The Pick Request feature can combine multiple orders in a single pick document while referencing the original sales order.

OWR pick requests will include the shelf or bin assigned to the item to be picked.

The pick process creates a pick document containing all relevant information for warehouse personnel. This document can be printed automatically using OWR’s Print Queue feature.

Many companies operate multiple warehouses with various warehouse management needs. OWR Pick Request is intended for warehouses that do not require directed pick functionality.

OWR’s Warehousing Integration feature is intended for use in warehouses using Dynamics 365 Business Central Warehousing or Lanham’s ACE Warehousing solution.

Of course, companies may have several warehouses with differing needs. OWR features can be used as needed in the company’s various warehouses, so some warehouses may use the OWR Pick Request feature while others use the Warehouse Integration feature.

OWR equips the warehouse manager with unique visibility into the warehouse to prioritize and streamline business processes. This tool is ideal when assigning workload for warehouse employees.

Warehouse management software traditionally creates accurate directed picks. Adding the OWR Warehouse Integration feature allows the warehouse manager to easily select and prioritize pending shipments.

Prioritizing picks and creating them in batches can help improve pick performance by accumulating multiple picks at one time. This functionality can be configured for a variety of different picking operations.

OWR’s Warehouse Integration feature allows the warehouse manager to select a group of orders with like items, creating a single wave pick to the staging area. Individual picks are then created for each order to pick from the staging area. This greatly reduces travel time in the warehouse.

Users can replenish forward pick locations as needed based on actual demand. This allows the user to plan ahead, and be sure that the necessary stock is available to run the outbound operation.

The Close Sales Order command enables users to complete pick requests as they are performed. Once the sales order is closed, the pick moves to a registered state and updates inventory quantities. When used in conjunction with the E-Ship and E-Receive product, E-Ship will register the pick as the order is closed and move the pick to an archived status.

Easy access and visibility are key in shipping. OWR enables the user to analyze the details of an outbound order or orders without leaving their functional area in the business system to view source documents.

OWR gives the user visibility to the status of each pick – whether it is created, processed, or shipped. Each pick’s status is clearly displayed on the OWR screen, providing an overview of ongoing operations.
