Additional Tools

Beyond the core processes, the Warehouse Client offers four additional modules for bins, labels, weight and photo documentation.

Putaway

Assigns goods receipts to a bin/shelf. The badge shows open put-aways for the terminal's location.

Workflow:

  1. Scan item – capture the item to be put away by barcode.
  2. Scan/enter bin – capture the target shelf.
  3. Validate – the app validates the code against the Shelf Code Pattern from the Setup.
  4. Save – the assignment is posted.

Bin code format

The administrator defines valid codes via the Shelf Code Pattern (regex). If a code is rejected, check the spelling/format of the shelf.

Label Print

Prints item and bin labels as ZPL on the thermal printer.

Workflow:

  1. Scan item or select a bin.
  2. Select label type (item or shelf).
  3. Set number of copies.
  4. Print – the label is sent directly to the printer via ZPL.

ZPL only

Label printing uses ZPL exclusively (thermal printers). Check the printer IP/port in the Settings.

Item Weighing

Captures the net and gross weight of an item and flags oversized goods automatically.

Workflow:

  1. Scan item.
  2. Capture weight – take it from the scale or enter it manually.
  3. Save – the weights are stored on the item.

If the weight exceeds the Oversized Weight Threshold (Setup, default 30 kg), the item is automatically marked as oversized goods.

Photo

Photographs documents, damage or items and attaches the image in Business Central to the respective transaction.

Workflow:

  1. Select reference – set the document type and number (manually or by scan); e.g. delivery note, purchase order or item.
  2. Take photo – using the device camera.
  3. Upload – the image is transferred to BC and stored with the transaction.

The Photo module can also be used directly from Goods In and the Complaint.

Securing evidence

Photograph transport damage directly upon receipt – this simplifies complaints toward the vendor and carrier.
