Example process description

Below you'll find an example of a process description for your warehouse.

Processing a purchase order

Follow these steps when unpacking an incoming delivery from a supplier.

General guidelines

  • Process purchase orders in the order they arrive. Always handle the oldest delivery first.
  • Complete one order fully before starting the next. Do not process multiple orders at the same time.
  • Check the delivery for damage. If damaged, take photos and add a note before doing anything else. Report this to the purchasing department.
  • Clear away packaging materials to keep your work area tidy.

At the packing table

  1. Look up the purchase order in Picqer using the order number on the packing slip.
  2. Select "Register receipt".
  3. Unpack the delivery one box at a time.
  4. Register the receipt for each product:
    1. Pick up a bin and scan its barcode.
    2. Take a product from the delivery, scan it, and place it in the bin.
    3. Click "Add to inventory".
    4. Repeat this for all products until the bin is full.
    5. Place the bin on the receiving cart.
    6. Pick up a new bin and continue until all products have been added to inventory.
  5. Once all products in the delivery have been registered, close the receipt.

Putting away stock

  1. When the receiving cart is full, take it to the shelving area to put the products away.
  2. Open the Picqer app on the mobile scanner.
  3. Scan a bin. You will see which products it contains.
  4. Place each product in an available storage location.
    1. Go to an available storage location.
    2. Take all units of one product out of the bin and scan the product.
    3. Scan the barcode of the storage location.
    4. Click "Move inventory".
    5. Move to the next available location and put away the next product from the bin.
  5. Once the bin is empty, scan the next bin.
  6. When all bins on the cart have been processed, return to the receiving packing table and place all empty bins on the empty bin stack.
