How can I create a warehouse?

  1. Configure your system: Once you have defined your requirements, you need to configure your WMS to support a new warehouse. This can involve setting up new storage locations and defining any special rules or workflows.

  2. Define your storage locations: With the WMS configured, you can define your storage locations within the new warehouse. This involves creating unique identifiers for each location, such as rack and bin numbers, and determining the appropriate location for each type of product.

  3. Create inventory records: You need to create inventory records for each product that will be stored in the new warehouse. This can include information such as product descriptions, SKUs/ Articles and quantities.

  4. Define picking and putaway rules: To ensure that products are stored and retrieved efficiently, you need to define picking and putaway rules for the new warehouse. This can include rules for the order in which products are stored, the types of products that can be stored in certain locations, and the order in which products are retrieved for shipping.

  5. Monitor performance: Once your new warehouse is up and running, it's important to monitor its performance regularly. This can involve tracking metrics such as order fulfillment rates, inventory accuracy, and labor productivity, and making adjustments as needed to improve performance.
