What is the key processes in WMS system?

The Key WM Processes: In the Warehouse Management (WM) application component, you employ putaway and removal strategies used by the system to search for storage bins in the most expeditious manner.

For inbound movements, in conjunction with controls entered in the material master record, the putaway strategies assist the WM system to utilize the available warehouse capacity, automatically assigning optimum locations for goods received in the warehouse.

For outbound movements, the system uses similar user-defined controls to execute the appropriate picking strategy to  assign the best picking location. If you decide to manually process certain stock movements, you can change source and destination storage bins that are automatically proposed by the system.

The Key Process in WM:

Business processes:

1) Goods receipt to Process Order (really a sloc to sloc transfer)Putaway strategy:Manufactured goods that have passed QC inspection will be putaway to storage type 002 racks

2) Goods receipt to Purchase Order: The receipt of purchased stock into storage location 0001 will automatically create a WM Transfer Order, invoking the above-mentioned putaway strategies. The strategy of “Next Empty Bin” therefore applies.

Putaway strategy: Purchased goods received into the finished goods warehouse will be putaway to storage type 002 racks.

3) Transfer posting from Stock to Stock:There will be several business processes that may result in a stock-to-stock transfer posting within SAP. The list includes:

Customer returns receiptsDeadline monitoring (expiration date recurring inspections)Manual Warehouse activities

In each case stock may need to be transferred from Unrestricted to Quality Inspection or Blocked and perhaps back again.For the same reasons already mentioned above the stock will physically remain in the same bin (i.e. a bin in storage type 002).

4) Transfer from Storage Location to Storage Location: Transferring stock from 1 storage location to another is an integral part of several of the business processes

For Example: Sloc to sloc transfer into FG warehouseand Sloc to sloc transfer Out of Fg warehouse.

5) Transfer from Material to Material: The warehouse management process required to perform a material-to-material conversion is basically the same as an automatic posting change

6) Transfer from GR Blocked Stock to Own: It has been proposed that Goods Receipt Blocked Stock is used to represent consigned imported goods in the new system. Putaway strategy

Purchased goods received into the finished goods warehouse will be putaway to storage type 002 racks.The strategy of “Next Empty Bin” therefore applies.

7) Goods Issue to Stock Transport Order Delivery:

Picking strategy

As explained, goods will be picked in the sequence:Pick face - bottom level of rack (storage type 001)Regular rack storage (storage type 002)

8) Goods Issue to Subcontract stock: Picking strategy:Stock is picked using the same strategy as all other deliveries.

9) Goods Issue to Sales Order Delivery: Picking strategy:Stock is picked using the same strategy as all other deliveries.

10) Goods Issue to Production:Note if in it is required to manually issue goods to a order, direct from the raw materials goods warehouse there will be no problems raised. A WM Transfer Order will be auto created as normal, advising which bin to pick the stock from.

11) Return to Vendor: From a WM perspective the pick process will be identical to any other pick

12) Goods Issue to Consumption (scrap or cost centre):The consumption of stock from the warehouse for scrap or goods issue to a cost centre utilises the same picking strategy as other picks previously discussed. In the case of scrapping it is likely that a posting change would have been posted at the bin level first, moving the stock from Unrestricted to Blocked.

Hello Team,

Basically, WMS has 2 key processes, namely

1.    Inbound process involved

Receiving, Inspection and Putaway

2.    Outbound process involved

Pick, Pack and Ship

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software application specializing in supporting the day to day operations within a warehouse. The application does this by allowing the users to have a centralized system where different warehouse tasks are managed through an interface on a handheld device or a tablet working in the warehouse or a desktop in the office. This makes running a warehouse both efficient and easy, and also ensures that minimal if any losses occur in the different warehouse processes. The real gain is in customer service. Imagine knowing exactly where every product is, knowing when to re-order, and how much to re-order or produce. These things seem like a business goal, but for a customer it means they can get the product faster, without backorders or errors, so they are more likely to return.

Thanks for the invite I agree with the experts answers

The most important element of a WMS is reliable data.Behind every warehouse location is a bunch of data, which ultimately leads you to a quantifiable idea of how much profit you are maintaining. If an item or consignment is stored for too long, this will affect the profit, therefore how worthwhile that trade has been.

The fact that our clients can instantly determine those sections of inventory that have a high storage bill is crucial in determining where money is being lost.

Agree with answer given by Mr.Arifuddin Mohd Imamuddin .Thanks 

I believe the answers have covered the question with the right info and details... I would agree with that !

Thank You

The evolution of warehouse management systems (WMS) is very similar to that of many other software solutions. Initially a system to control movement and storage of materials within a warehouse, the role of WMS is expanding to including light manufacturing, transportation management, order management, and complete accounting systems. To use the grandfather of operations-related software, MRP, as a comparison, material requirements planning (MRP) started as a system for planning raw material requirements in a manufacturing environment. Soon MRP evolved into manufacturing resource planning (MRPII), which took the basic MRP system and added scheduling and capacity planning logic. Eventually MRPII evolved into enterprise resource planning (ERP), incorporating all the MRPII functionality with full financials and customer and vendor management functionality. Now, whether WMS evolving into a warehouse-focused ERP system is a good thing or not is up to debate. What is clear is that the expansion of the overlap in functionality between Warehouse Management Systems, Enterprise Resource Planning, Distribution Requirements Planning, Transportation Management Systems, Supply Chain Planning, Advanced Planning and Scheduling, and Manufacturing Execution Systems will only increase the level of confusion among companies looking for software solutions for their operations.

Even though WMS continues to gain added functionality, the initial core functionality of a WMS has not really changed. The primary purpose of a WMS is to control the movement and storage of materials within an operation and process the associated transactions. Directed picking, directed replenishment, and directed putaway are the key to WMS. The detailed setup and processing within a WMS can vary significantly from one software vendor to another, however the basic logic will use a combination of item, location, quantity, unit of measure, and order information to determine where to stock, where to pick, and in what sequence to perform these operations.
