When you implement the Warehouse Management System (WMS),
you manage goods movements and stock changes in the
warehouse at storage bin level. However, if you implement
Lean WM, inventory management takes place solely at storage
location level. The system does not update the stock data
at storage bin level using the quants.
You use Lean WM solely for processing goods receipts and
goods issues. Using Lean WM, you process the warehouse
movements in basically the same way as if using the
Warehouse Management System: you work with deliveries, and
you create transfer orders for these deliveries. These
transfer orders serve as pick lists (see also Using the
Transfer Order as a Pick List in Lean WM). We recommend
that you implement Lean WM if you wish to pick deliveries
in a warehouse that you are not managing using WMS.
The use of transfer orders in Lean WM provides the
following advantages:
You can reprint transfer orders at any time.
You can split transfer orders and thus distribute the
workload better among the staff in your warehouse.
You can pass on the transfer order target data and the
names of those who process transfer orders to the HR
application component, where this data can be used to
calculate incentive wage.
If you do no wish to update stocks in your fixed bin
warehouse at storage bin level, Lean WM provides you with
the option of using the advantages of warehouse management
through transfer orders in the same way as warehouse
management using the WMS.
If you are already using the standard WM system, we
recommend that you implement Lean WM in a further warehouse
where no updating of stocks at storage bin level is
necessary. In this way, you ensure that the processes for
warehouse management are uniform in all warehouses.
Since Lean WM does not update stocks at storage bin level,
you can display the stock quantities solely in Inventory
Management (IM) and not with the stock overview function in
WM. Also, you cannot process possible stock differences
that occur in the warehouse using Lean WM, only using
Inventory Management (MM-IM):
