2 Inventory Management Items in the catalog represent items available through suppliers. Items established in the warehouse represent items that are purchased, stored, dispensed to the organization through warehouse managers personnel. Inventory management involves the upkeep set up of items in the warehouse. The system provides an easy to use tool to effectively perform these functions. When all inventory items have been added to the catalog, you may begin working with inventory. Effective warehouse management begins with maintenance of the inventory items. All links are permission based, do not show if you do not have specific inventory permissions assigned. Requirements 45 - Manage Inventory in Warehouse 52 - Warehouse Assignment - grants permission to the warehouses you can manage. 2.1 Enter Initial Item Stock Quantity Location: Inventory > Maintenance > Initial Stock >. The item must be established in the warehouse by an administrator. Refer to the Warehouse Catalog section of the Inventory Manager Admin Guide for more information. Additionally, you must have one of the following permissions: 46 - Adjust Inventory in Warehouse 47 - Load Inventory or Update Inventory Count in Warehouse Initial stock is used to establish any initial stock quantity for items in inventory that the company currently has on h. After an item is established in the warehouse, the item is available to have stock quantity added. The system automatically places a new item into list of items to add initial stock; it requires no manual action.. Items are placed into the list of items to add initial stock only when the item has been established in the warehouse for the first time from the Items page or when the item is added from the Inventory List page. To add initial stock quantity: 1. From the Initial Stock page, select the Warehouse in which the items were established click Submit. 2. Click All. 3. Search for the item with quantity to be entered. 4. Enter quantity in stock in the Load Units field. 5.

The inventory item's initial quantity, unit cost, other information are saved. 2.2 Adjust Item Stock Levels When items are dispersed from the warehouse through shipping when items are received into the warehouse from another warehouse or vendor, stock level information (the count) is automatically adjusted. There are times, however, when the stock level for a particular item needs to be adjusted manually in the system. The way in which stock levels are manually adjusted depends on whether the user wants to adjust the stock to a higher count or to a lower count. Adjusting to a higher count is referred to as loading adjusting to a lower count is referred to as reducing. Occurrences such as shrinkage, theft, or damage requires the inventory counts to be reduced. If for any reason, actual quantities in the warehouse are higher than those shown in the system, the number in the system can be increased by loading the difference.

If more than one item is selected, repeat until all adjustments are made. 7. Click Submit. The items' total value is set the weighted average cost (WAC) is automatically recalculated. An audit record is maintained for all value adjustments. 2.8 Item Counting Items in inventory can be classified as A, B, or C class items for the purposes of controlling varying counting cycles. Each class has its own counting cycle specification. Classes may be set for daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly intervals. All cycles are set in days in the system settings. The system automatically divides the quantity of items to be counted by the days in the cycle then presents only that number of items to be counted each day. This presents the work at a manageable level. The ABC analysis is a classification system for analyzing inventory based on value. This classification system divides inventory into three distinct groups by value: high activity dollar volume (A), moderate dollar volume (B), low dollar volume (C). It becomes evident that an item low in cost but high in volume may be much more important than an item low in volume high in cost. Segmentation of this classification system is not always easy. An (A) item might have a low unit cost combined with a high volume or a high unit cost in combination with a low volume. If a company makes the strategic decision to use ABC analysis, it is recommended that a detailed documented study of the ABC classification system take place prior to item assignment. If used correctly, ABC classification systems can be a powerful inventory management tool. Mark for Count simply flags the item selected in the Warehouse Inventory list to be listed in the Inventory Count page. If there is a Search icon next to the number in the Inventory Count column, this means the item is an inventory asset. If an asset needs to be removed, click the Search icon select the assets that are to be removed. By removing the asset, the system automatically changes its status to disposed.

3 Inventory Item Requisition Requisitioners are given seamless access to items, whether the item is sourced from a warehouse or from a vendor. This is accomplished through user group-to-warehouse group associations combined with item specific inventory type assignment. From the perspective of the requisitioner, there is essentially no change in the process of requisitioning when warehouse items are integrated into their supply base. When you have access to a warehouse, the item request created is sent to the warehouse instead of a vendor. Though the process that is used for requesting items from vendor does not change, there are notable changes that can appear in the shopping cart. One change is the addition of a Warehouse link to line items that come from a warehouse. You can click this link to find out more information about the warehouse that contains the item. Requests created for warehouse items are called transfer orders. Requestors can either create transfer orders or perform a direct withdrawal. Requirements Link the group for the requisitioner to a warehouse group associated with warehouses. 3.1 Associate Users Warehouses You are linked to warehouses from which they can request by associating the group you are in to a specific warehouse group. Only the warehouses that belong to the associated warehouse group are accessible to you. Example: 1. Create a warehouse group. 2. Add warehouses to the created group. 3. Create a user group (in the Using Warehouse Group field select the warehouse group). 4. Add users to that group. Users Sam Tim can only request from Warehouses 1 2. Whereas User Admin can only request items that are established in Warehouses 3 4. 3.2 Request Warehouse Items from the Catalog Location: Requisitions > Request/Shop > Search Catalog To order from warehouse: 1. Search for the items to order. To limit your search to items in warehouses, select the Browse Warehouse tab select a warehouse or click Browse Items. 2. Locate the desired item, enter the quantity, click Add to Cart. Copyright 1999-2017 Basware Corporation. All rights reserved.. 19

3. If inventory/asset receiving units are used the ordering unit is selected, only the vendor link [V] is displayed. If the receiving unit is selected, the warehouse link [W] is displayed. If the item is a stocked item, then the user sees the link [W] to the warehouse as shown in Figure from where the item is to be ordered. 4. If you are associated with more than one warehouse have permission 48 - Can Specify Preferred Warehouse during Requesting, then select the warehouse from the Default to Warehouse drop-down list to order from a specific warehouse click Save Changes. This function is not available if Material Transfer is enabled. 5. Click Finish Request. 6. Complete all the fields on the Create Order Request page click Create Order Request. 7. If no approval is needed for the request, a transfer order is generated. If approval is required, the request is sent to the approver. For further details on request approvals, refer to Request Approval in Purchase Manager User Guide. When the order request is created, the system generates an internal transfer order (TO) for this item. All warehouse orders are linked to the warehouse vendor that is assigned via system setting. The system administrator sets the warehouse vendor that is needed for items coming from the warehouse. If you have problems with transfer orders going into items to order instead of directly to purchasing, the first step should be to check if this setting has the correct value the vendor is set to auto-generate PO. 3.3 Perform Direct Withdrawals Location: Inventory > Withdraw Items > Withdraw Items. The following permission is required: 53 - Direct Warehouse Withdrawals There are times when a internal transfer order is not needed. The system provides a direct withdrawal option for removing items from inventory. This is used to pull items from the local cabinet. When assets are received the Set Date in Service field is set to Yes for the receiving location, the system sets the receiving date as the date in service for the asset. The date in service determines when depreciation calculation starts for an asset. There is a three step process to directly withdraw items from inventory. Copyright 1999-2017 Basware Corporation. All rights reserved.. 20

1. Search for items from the catalog. 2. Select the appropriate warehouse start the withdrawal. 3. Withdraw the items. To do a direct withdrawal: 1. Select the warehouse in which to perform the search then search for items to withdraw. 2. Enter the quantity desired for each item to order. Users may enter the quantity for multiple items at once. The Available Quantity field is displayed under each item name to ensure accurate requesting. When finished, click Add Items to Request. In the Warehouse drop-down list, the warehouse from which the items were added to the bin is automatically selected if all the items in the withdraw bin are from one warehouse. 3. As on the Shopping Cart page, users have the ability to change the quantity desired or delete the line item from the withdrawal bin using Revise Request unless the item is an asset. If the item is an asset, the user clicks the Search icon to select the assets that are to be withdrawn. If tracking by condition codes, the user needs to enter the quantity being withdrawn for each condition code. 4. Click Start Withdrawal after verifying the correct line items quantities to be withdrawn. If the user enters a withdraw quantity that is more than is available in inventory, an error message displays indicating the line items requested do not have the sufficient quantity to meet the amount requested. 5. The user can use the browser s Back action to return to the previous page make an adjustment to the line item in error. Basware recommends that the order bin be revised after items from previous order requests are copied to it. This retrieves the most recent pricing recalculates the totals. This happens automatically when the user finishes the request. It is important to select the appropriate warehouse prior to revising. Otherwise, the selection does not take place. 6. Complete the required fields on the Direct Item Withdrawal page. 7. Click Process Withdrawal. Copyright 1999-2017 Basware Corporation. All rights reserved.. 21

Users can also access the Item Search Form from the Review Order Basket page when withdrawing items. 3.4 Create Replenishment Orders The following permission is required to create replenishment orders: 45 - Manage Inventory in Warehouse Orders generated to be sent to vendors to replenish stocked items are called replenishment orders. If multiple warehouses exist if a replenishment user was created, then log in as the replenishment user for a particular warehouse create an order so that the items are shipped to the specific warehouse location. The system collects items to be ordered using the identified user on the warehouse profile. Replenishment orders can be auto-generated through system setting. When tracking inventory by condition code is enabled an item received into a warehouse needs to be returned to the vendor, the item can be returned as long as the items associated with the purchase order line all have the same condition code. To replenish warehouse stock: 1. Search for the item that needs to be stocked. 2. Add the item(s) to the shopping cart by clicking Add Items to Shopping Cart. 3. Click Finish Request. 4. On the Create Order Request page, select the warehouse which needs to be replenished in the Replenish drop-down list. The source warehouse the destination warehouse cannot be the same. 5. Click Create Order Request. Copyright 1999-2017 Basware Corporation. All rights reserved.. 22

4 Inventory Shipping Shipping is an area under Inventory from where warehouse managers have the option to manage all their shipment activities related to either open shipments for in-stock items or any backorders created for the items that are not in stock. This chapter helps you underst the various functions associated with shipments. Requests to order items from a warehouse fall into three categories: Open Shipments: Shipments which have in-stock items. Backorders: Created when requests are generated for out-of-stock items. Previous Shipments: Allow the user to view items that have already been shipped. Requirements The following permission is required to perform shipping functions: 51 - Manage Shipments 4.1 Open Shipments Open shipments are orders that have been submitted against the warehouse have not been shipped to the end user or deducted from inventory. Creating shipments is a function of the warehouse staff indication of an open shipment is seen in the Open Shipments page under the Inventory menu. To create a shipment for ordered items: 1. Pick the items on the pick report. 2. Create a shipment for the items on the pick report. 3. Print a packing slip for the created shipments to be sent with the shipment. There are two ways to fulfill shipments for in-stock items: Print a packing slip then create a shipment. This prints a packing slip without a pre-filled packing slip number. Create a shipment first then print the packing slip. Many organizations prefer this method because a packing slip number (No.) is automatically created, which may be used for tracking purposes. When the Asset module is enabled the Set Date in Service field is set to Yes for the receiving location, the system sets the receiving date as the date in service for the asset. The date in service determines when depreciation starts for an asset. There are two items which need further definition for the packing slip. Copyright 1999-2017 Basware Corporation. All rights reserved.. 23

Quantity Remain: This is the quantity remaining to be filled from the transfer order. Quantity Stock: This is the quantity of the item in stock for the warehouse selected. Only warehouses (that the user has access to) with open shipments are listed in the Warehouse drop-down list on the Open Shipments List page. 4.1.1 Consolidated Pick Lists Packing Slips For faster picking packing, a shipper can create a consolidated pick list or packing slip. To do this, highlight more than one shipment by clicking dragging over the desired items then click Pick Report or Packing Slip. The user may also use the CTRL key to select shipments that are not in order. 4.1.2 Change Warehouse for Open Shipments Location: Inventory > Shipping > Open Shipments.
