Location Sequencing

Allows for efficient order picking and put away. Locations
are associated with a sequence number, which directs the
user, with an RF portable, to a predefined location when
picking and/or putting away order items. (WMS sorts line
items into the sequence defined and presents the line
item in sequential order.) This reduces the travel time
when putting away and picking order(s).

Lot

An inventory grouping that is identified by a number,
alphanumeric character, etc.

Multiple Units of Measure

Allows you to define a base unit (each) of measurement,
and then higher increments of the base unit such as car-
ton, bundle, and case for the items in stock. If you plan to
implement multiple Units of Measure, it is important to
accurately define and list these measurements so that
they are available in the IntelliTrack WMS application.

New Pick Quantity

The amount of the item currently being picked against a
picking order.

New Received Quantity

The amount of the item currently being received against a
receiving order.

On Hand Quantity

The amount of the item available.

Order Number

The numeric identifier for a picking or receiving order. You
have option to enable auto numbering for picking and
receiving orders in the System Options form. Be aware of
sort order constraints when entering order numbers.
Make sure you include enough spaces to act as a place-
holder for the number. If using auto numbering for your
orders, we recommended using a new starting number
with at least 5 numerals (10000).

Order Status (for receiving and
picking orders)

The system status of the order. An open order has not
been fully processed by the system. A closed order has
been fully processed by the system.

Pallet

A temporary storage area that is usually portable; used for
moving or storing inventory.

Paperless Picking and Receiving

Receive new orders into inventory or pick existing orders
electronically, without the use of a printed document.

PC

Personal Computer

Physical Inventory

An inventory count of all items by location; usually per-
formed with a portable data collection terminal.

Pick Sequence

The location travel sequence when picking items.

Picker

The WMS system user who is picking the order. When
picking batched orders, a picker may be assigned to the
Wave.
