Knowing what and when to ship can be very difficult to coordinate,
especially when last-minute customer order changes are typical. Add to
that the complexity of organizing shipping paperwork, customer
requirements for unique barcode labels, special shipping instructions,
and export paperwork, and it is difficult to make sure the customer
service, production, and shipping departments are synchronized in a
timely fashion.
Our Shipping System eliminates much of the complexity by showing the
shipping department daily requirements by customer, and last minute
order changes are propagated to shipping immediately. There is also a
last minute verification of customer-destination requirements against
picked quantities.
The system allows a unique customer-defined or stock barcode to be
specified by shipping destination, which is printed for
weighted/counted parts.
Packing Slip, Bill of Lading, and Pick List paperwork are printed
automatically with options to print B-13, and Q/A Certificate of
Compliance. Capability exists to automatically send an ASN to your
customer via EDI or a copy of the packing slip e-mailed in a PDF format.
A separate packing slip type is used for shipping to outside
processors. It can also be used to transfer raw materials to a
processor for use in outside processor operations. Every movement of
this material is tracked by a transaction audit trail and the quantity
of material out at any processor is linked directly into the production
module for planning and scheduling purposes.
