WHM - Features
WHM provides the following features in
addition to features provided in MSCA
Task management
Material tracking with LPNs
A configurable rules engine that enables
to create custom picking rules, put away
rules, and compliance labeling rules.
Advance inventory and material mgmt
including material status, lot, and serial
support.
WHM also is heavily integrated with, and
extends some of the current functionality
in manufacturing applications.

WMS Control Board: Provides warehouse managers with
a real time snap shot of the warehouse, and enables
them to redistribute operators as needed. They can
monitor the progress of tasks as well as manually
dispatch tasks to operators.
Consolidation: WM enables operators to consolidate
partially filled containers into fewer and better-optimized
containers.
Dock Appointment for Trips: Managers can use
Warehouse Mgmt to schedule outbound carrier
appointments, dock door availability, and staging lane
usage within the warehouse.
Shipment Verification and close: Once operators pick and
load an order, the system automatically determines the
items and qualities to deduct from Inventory.

Cost Groups
Cost Groups
Commingling
The system prevents commingling of items when
cost group is the only distinguishing characteristic
between two quantities of loose inventory within a
single locator or LPN
Multiple cost groups of a single item may reside
within a single Locator or LPN as long as each cost
group is uniquely identifiable.

ATF Capabilities
ATF Concepts
Activity: An activity can be defined as one or more
consecutive operations performed on material in a
warehouse in order to accomplish a specific
warehousing function. Example-Put away
Operation Plan: Planned sequence of operations.
Three types of operations are Standard, Inspection,
Cross dock
Load: Load is the act of picking material from a
locator and transferring it into the hands of an
operator, onto equipment, into a tote, or onto a
conveyor. An operator performs loads when material
needs to be moved. Loading is the first step performed
for material movement.
Drop: Drop is the act of dropping loaded material
into a locator. A load operation should always precede
a drop operation.
ATF Concepts
Task: A task is the unit of work a warehouse
performed by a warehouse worker, automated
equipment, or a work-equipment combination.
A task and a operation are two different things. A task
is the work performed on the warehouse floor, where
as operation is what defines the task to perform.
A task is an instance of an operation.
Material Grouping: use operation plans to control
material grouping in locators and LPNs during
intermediate moves. Consolidate material in a locator/
LPN based on Destination / Operation / Subinventory /
Similar item.
ATF Concepts
ATF Example
ATF Example
ATF applies to standard and inspection receipts. ATF
cannot be used for Direct routed receipts. Above
example is complex receiving process use ATF to map.
Material received into the R1.1.1 receiving SI is routed
to either to the inspection area, to inventory, or to an
outbound staging area.
Each operation shows how material moves through the
warehouse. The rules engine selects the operation plan,
the material is moved from operation to operation until
it is finally inspected, put away in inventory, or crossdocked
