Inventory & Warehouse Management

Maintain real-time control of stock levels, availability, and inventory movements with Fluentis ERP’s detailed warehouse management capabilities. The system allows for the creation of multiple physical or logical warehouses and their corresponding locations, providing precise tracking and management.

A hierarchical location structure ensures a clear view of warehouse divisions, with customizable levels of detail to suit any business’s specific needs.

Enhance inventory supervision and control with Fluentis ERP’s Lot and Serial Number Management. This functionality ensures effective monitoring and organization of stock levels, movements, item commitments, and comprehensive traceability for product lots or individual pieces.

When enabled, the system automatically generates and proposes codes during item transactions across various documents. Additionally, you can define and assign statuses to lots, providing a clear view of product conformity.

Fluentis ERP supports flexible picking strategies, including LIFO, FIFO, FEFO, or manual selection, ensuring inventory accuracy and efficiency.

The implementation of Unit of Cargo (UDC) management allows for the aggregation of items during loading and movement. UDCs facilitate the identification of batches of goods stored in the warehouse, and their use extends across multiple areas of Fluentis functionality. They can be utilized in goods receipt, warehouse management, production, subcontracting, and sales.

To manage transfers or shipments, Fluentis ERP offers the Picking List module, directly integrated with the WMS (Warehouse Management System). This feature enables warehouse staff to pick goods from inventory and make them available for production departments and shipping areas.

For production-related picking, the outcome will be the availability of products in the Work in Progress (WIP) area. For shipments, the picking process is followed by the automatic generation of the Delivery Note (DDT) or Accompanying Invoice, with real-time and automated warehouse movements.

Fluentis ERP features the Loading Plans module, designed to simplify the preparation of shipments to customers. This interface provides clear visibility of customer orders, organized by delivery date and the available stock of items in the warehouse.

The function allows for order fulfillment using a picking list, followed by the automatic creation of a Delivery Note (DDT) or Invoice. The process also includes information on the weight and volume of the goods to be shipped, linked to the dedicated vehicle for the shipment. This ensures the user can always monitor if the weight and volume exceed available capacity.

To manage inventory levels effectively, Fluentis ERP offers a feature that calculates stock shortages over time. At the article master level, the system allows for the entry of procurement data, such as Minimum Stock, Maximum Stock, Reorder Point, Reorder Lead Time, with details available for each individual warehouse.

Based on the entered information and a procedure that calculates average daily consumption, Fluentis ERP provides the required quantity to replenish in order to avoid stockouts by the specified date. Additionally, the module automatically generates procurement documents (Purchase Requests) based on the identified needs.

Leveraging the features in the inventory module, Fluentis ERP enables quick and efficient creation and population of inventory lists by searching for moved items. The system retrieves not only the items but also details related to lots, locations, and inventory levels. The user’s task is simply to verify and record the physical stock of the items.

Based on this information, adjustment movements are automatically generated to align the stock levels. The cycle counting functionality allows specific warehouse areas (e.g., locations) to be locked and isolated for rapid verification of inventory, adjustment processing, and reactivation of the area once the operation is complete. This significantly reduces the complexity and cost of physical inventory management.

A document used for shipments to non-EU countries, the Packing List is highly beneficial for all types of shipping. The Packing List must specify the packages and the items contained within them, including details such as net and gross weight, width, height, volume, and nature of the goods.

When integrated with the WMS module, the Packing List can be generated even more easily by utilizing the Load Units (packages) already available in the system.
