Extended Quantity The total individual item quantity in a location or site.
(When using multiple units of measure, the extended
quantity represents the item total in “eaches.”)
FIFO (First In First Out) Picking Used in conjunction with product expiration date. Intelli-
Track WMS lists the locations of items being shipped in
the order of their expiration date, and prompts the user to
pick items in expiration date order.
For example, to put away a box of perishable items into
location 1A11 with an expiration date or received date of
3/16/2004 and another box of the same perishable items
into location 1B11 with an expiration date or received date
of 4/20/2004, location 1A11 is listed first when selecting a
location to pick from when picking an order with this item.
Forward Pick Location Generally, a “forward” location in the warehouse to which
materials can be moved from bulk storage. Designated
“forward pick locations” are important if you are imple-
menting replenishment or location sequencing.
Hold (Quarantine) Designation for
a Location When a location is given a hold (or quarantine) designa-
tion, it cannot be used to store or move items.
Host Picking Part of the Import-Export Utility. Communicates picking
order activity back to a host system.
Host Receiving Part of the Import-Export Utility. Communicates receiving
order activity back to a host system.
Import-Export Utility A utility that is provided with WMS. Allows for data import
into its database tables and data export from them. The
import and export data is stored in text files (files with a.txt
extension).
Initial Item Quantity The initial amount of an inventoried item, when it is
entered into inventory.
Inventoried Quantity The inventoried quantity represents the item amount from
a physical inventory count. It is not used by the system. It
must be moved to on hand quantity to be used by the sys-
tem. Useful for comparing WMS on hand quantity with the
physical count results when auditing inventory.
Kitting A “kit” represents a preset group of items, of varying
quantities. When the kitting process is used in the Intelli-
Track WMS warehouse management system, predeter-
mined items that are part of a kit, are picked from
inventory when the kit item number is selected as part of a
pick order.
