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
- Look up the purchase order in Picqer using the order number on the packing slip.
- Select "Register receipt".
- Unpack the delivery one box at a time.
- Register the receipt for each product:
- Pick up a bin and scan its barcode.
- Take a product from the delivery, scan it, and place it in the bin.
- Click "Add to inventory".
- Repeat this for all products until the bin is full.
- Place the bin on the receiving cart.
- Pick up a new bin and continue until all products have been added to inventory.
- Once all products in the delivery have been registered, close the receipt.
Putting away stock
- When the receiving cart is full, take it to the shelving area to put the products away.
- Open the Picqer app on the mobile scanner.
- Scan a bin. You will see which products it contains.
- Place each product in an available storage location.
- Go to an available storage location.
- Take all units of one product out of the bin and scan the product.
- Scan the barcode of the storage location.
- Click "Move inventory".
- Move to the next available location and put away the next product from the bin.
- Once the bin is empty, scan the next bin.
- 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.
