Flex - Goods Inwards

This section explains how you can use the flex device for the goods inwards process.

We have made some assumptions based on our standard workflow which may not work for all warehouses. However on flex many of those processes only take a few seconds to complete.

	What can you do in this option
Awaiting Arrival	display all vehicles which are due to arrive in the next 24 hours. mark vehicles as arrived.
Vehicle on Site	see all vehicles currently on site find the vehicle you plan to unload
Checking	find the bookings which are ready to be unloaded identify the purchase orders on the vehicle (on the booking) Check the items, update the information add rotation labels to the items. You can opt to put away goods directly whilst checking, this is generally for full pallets.
O/S Putaway	If you are locating full pallets or moving single items then this is the place for you where you scan the rotation label pick up the goods and take them to the location and confirm the quantity. This is like a bulk put away of items, the quantity is the total for the rotation.
Multi Putaway	If you plan to put away the goods you have just checked in, or picked up a mixed pallet then you should use this option to allow you to goto a location, and then scan the rotations you leave in that location.
Find an Advice	Looking for an advice which is not on a booking ? You will be able to see all those here along with items on a booking. A change is coming to allow you to select a non booked pre-advice and receipt it.
Manufacturing Putaway	This is used by bottling companies where pallets leaving the production line can be scanned and put away in preperation for the goods inwards being completed.

Completion of goods inwards always requires the ADMIN parts of the goods received to be completed. Generally this is seen as an additional check on the warehouse put away process but also allows fiscal information to be recorded and customs movements to be confirmed.
