Assets

The asset management functionality is used to track totes or other types of assets/containers with unique ID. Assets can be linked to OBLPNs before shipping and the SHIPPED LOADS interface/file will be generated with this asset number. Assets can be considered as totes that can be received, used for picking and also shipped.

The Asset Master can specify all IDs for totes/containers that are used in a Warehouse. When the Asset functionality in 'ON', the system will only allow receiving, picking shipping of LPNs/Assets that are set up in the Asset Master. The LPNs scanned will be considered as assets.

Assets can be in the following statuses:

  • “In Warehouse” is when the Asset is not in use but is in the warehouse.
  • “In Use” is when the Asset is utilized for any transaction in the warehouse.
  • “Shipped” is when the Asset is shipped out of the warehouse.
  • “Cancelled” is when the user opts to cancel the Asset.
