Important: By definition Pink Status Purchase orders will not have any joblines
Ensure you have a temporary empty location barcode (you will
need this later)
See Checking a location is empty
for more details of how to check the temporary location is empty
Separate the physical stock and organise by SKU
Count the SKUs by the appropriate confidence level - bear in mind the following :-
Effort required to count the SKUs is directly related to how well the physical stock has been packaged and labelled
Be mindful of the value of the stock - Clients are less likely to want significant effort put on counting badly organised low value stock
Use weighing machine
if appropriate - see Using Weighing Machine for
instructions
If in any doubt - refer to a senior colleague for guidance
Note the quantities of each SKU on the paperwork along with any additional relevant information (for example if the packaging / labelling was a mess)
In PO Joblines, add
each SKU you have counted to Strokeone via the item picker. (see Using
the item picker for guidance.)
If the SKU already exists
in Strokeone - select
that one for use (use any images on the existing SKU to double
check that identical to what you are processing)
See
if it doesn't exist - then create
a new SKU - But, ensure you have exhausted
all search possibilities [Category, Type, Colour etc] before you create a new SKU
- Avoid creating duplicates !!
See Creating a SKU on the Fly
for more details
Ensure that each of the SKU's on your PO has a
family image. If not - take
a picture and upload against the SKU family.
See Adding a SKU Family Image for
more details
In the QTY Ordered field
for each SKU enter the quantity you
counted as received.
Book In All for the
SKUs into the temporary location
chosen in stage 1
Important: if you are storing items in upper level bays - ensure you print out Hi Bay Category Labels and affix to the aisle facing side of the containers so that the category can be easily read from the ground level
When storing boxes in 1st level racking on pallets, expose the maximum number of box ends and their visible labels.
Similarly, if for space optimisation reasons boxes are stocked landscape (lengthways) then the labels should be positioned on the outward/aisle facing side of the box
Bottom line - labels should be on the aisle facing side of the box. This aids the picking process as staff can quickly see what the box contains.
Stock checking should be incorporated into the relocating stock process
So, when relocating new incoming stock
