Overview of Unit Movement

The Unit Movement function in the warehouse management system is an essential tool for maintaining an organized and efficient warehouse. It enables users to relocate inventory items, whether they are pallets, bins, boxes, or individual items, from one location to another within the warehouse. This feature is designed to optimize space usage and streamline the organization of goods.

Key Features of Unit Movement:

Creating a New Container from the Movement Page

On the Movement page, locate the option for creating a new container. This feature appears as a button labeled Create Container.

Selective Movement Options

• Movement Unit: Users can select the type of unit to move. The options available are:

  • Pallet

  • BIN

  • Box

  • Item

Scanning for Location Identification

• Start to Scan: Users can scan the unit number to automatically retrieve its current location within the warehouse, including details of higher location levels that contain the unit.

Detailed Location Display

• Location Information: Upon scanning, the system displays the current location details such as:

  • Warehouse number

  • Zone/Location

  • Station/Aisle/Rack

  • Specific Pallet, BIN, or Box number

By utilizing the Unit Movement feature, warehouse staff can ensure accurate tracking of inventory as it moves within the facility, contributing to better inventory control and operational efficiency.

Activity Log in Unit Movement

The Activity Log is a crucial feature within the Unit Movement section that provides a timestamped record of all movements made within the warehouse. It serves as an audit trail that can be used to track the history of unit relocations and ensure accountability.
