The basis for goods issues is formed by the source documents sales order, transfer order, picking proposal, and purchase complaint. The goods can be assigned to a picking process and sorted by transaction. In wholesale, packages are generally used into which the items are scanned, whereas in retail goods are handled without packages.

WST-0010 - Open header data

The goods issue document or picking slip is opened and either printed or assigned to a mobile data capture device.

Incoming process:

WST-0020 - Add lines

The lines can be retrieved either by means of a list with all documents or a filtered list by, for example, customer and document type. Corresponding functions are available for this purpose. Confirming the source document transfers the lines into the document. The still open remaining quantities from the source document are transferred and proposed for delivery.

WST-0030 - Release goods issue

Before picking goods begins, the goods issue is released using a function. Later quantity entries are accepted only when the goods issue is in released status. The release influences and controls warehouse utilization. In addition, it can be used to define how long goods are collected for shipment for one goods recipient.

WST-0040 - Start picking

If picking is performed using mobile data capture, a picking document (KOM) is created at the start of processing. This forms the base document for the sorting work of warehouse employees. Picking is sorted by bins/shelves/items and guides the warehouse employee through the items to be sorted. Manual picking without mobile data capture is carried out on the basis of a printed picking slip.

Outgoing process:

WST-0050 - Capture line data

The picked goods are entered in the goods issue document lines: the goods issue lines can be filled either manually, by scan, or automatically using the function ‘Propose quantities for manual package’ with the delivery quantities.

Incoming process:

WST-0060 - Create package

On the scan page, the function ‘Create package’ is selected or the goods issue document has a barcode that is scanned, which creates the package automatically. The next free package number is generated and the package label is printed. The package number sticker must be physically attached to the package or means of transport.

WST-0070 - Check package

The package weight can be stored either calculated by the system or maintained on the item (gross/net weight per piece). The package statistics provide an overview for quantity checking of the goods before shipping. Afterwards, the package content list is printed on the printer assigned to the workstation/employee. This is placed in the package.

WST-0080 - Create shipping label

Shipping labels from the carrier can be created either through an interface from the system or outside the system. In the case of an interface, a tracking number can also be returned and automatically imported into the system and assigned to the package. The generated label is stored as an external document and can be printed.

WST-0090 - Post goods issue

The goods issue is posted, which creates and prints the shipping documents. This is possible in two steps: create delivery only, or create delivery and invoice.

Outgoing process:

WST-0100 - Prepare goods for shipment

The goods are collected in the goods issue area per recipient and provided to the corresponding carrier. The accompanying papers are enclosed with the goods. A shipping label may be attached to the means of transport. In parcel shipping, the goods are generally collected on pallets and stretch-wrapped. Goods can also be stacked in mail trolleys, depending on the agreement with the carrier.
