LISA WMS Release Highlights 24.3
Earlier this October our warehouse management team released LISA WMS Version 24.3. A lot of focus for this update was on zoning features like picking across all zones, restricting zone access, assigning item groups to zones, and put away across all zones. Continue reading to learn more about these robust features along with other improvements to our coveted SAP Business One warehouse companion.
Picking Across All Zones
A new option allowing users to pick across all accessible zones has been added. When activated, an “All” option appears on the zone selection screen within the picking modules, enabling selection of all zones the user has access to.
Benefits of Picking Across All Zones
- Boosted Efficiency: Employees are enabled to pick items from multiple zones in a single trip, speeding up order fulfillment.
- Improved Inventory Management: Picking of identified stock considers all the warehouse locations, such as FIFO, FEFO, or days of shelf life picking.
Restrict Zone Access
An additional tab has been added to the LISA Web permission group page for configuring restricted zones. These zone restrictions determine which zones are available for selection in LISA Mobile.
Benefits of Restricting Zone Access
- Enhanced Security: Employees only have access to the zones that match their skill and responsibility levels.
- Increased Traceability: Segregation of inventory into restricted areas provides an additional layer of traceability.
Assign Item Groups to Zones
Item groups (product categories) can now be assigned to specific zones. Once an item group is assigned to a zone, only items from that group can be stored in that zone, and all products belonging to that item group must also be stored there.
Benefits of Assigning Item Groups to Zones
- Enhanced Space Utilization: Putaway is directed through different zones, placing the inventory in the optimal bin location.
- Improved Organization: Items are placed into zones that make the most sense according to different variables and characteristics.
Put Away Across All Zones
A new option allowing users to put away items across all accessible zones has been added. When activated, an “All” option appears on the zone selection screen within the put-away modules, enabling selection of all zones the user has access to.
Benefits of Put Away Across All Zones
- Automated Putaway: The putaway decision is made by the system, providing the best bin location across all zones.
Additional Improvements Included in LISA WMS Release 24.3:
- Multi-user directed cycle counting is now possible.
- Users can now flag a bin as full when doing put away.
- Custom pick route prioritization can now be done by bin sequence.
- Inter-warehouse transfer to production is now possible.
