Editor's Notes
- These are standalone and independent WMS functions, that can be integrated for 4 walls of WMS testing – and can be leveraged for SV Based on how they are categorized at System level and thru multiple interfaces OR LAN (Local Area Network).
- Additionally, some WMS permit lot and serial number tracking and allocation to orders and monitor shelf life to eliminate or reduce obsolescence. Finally, the ability of the WMS to update inventory status by location anywhere within the facility as transactions occur precludes the need for facility shutdown for physical inventory taking. Indeed, many users have been able to use the WMS’ cycle counting capability to eliminate full physicals altogether.
