AUTOMATIC WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT STOCKTAKING

The annual inventory is prescribed by law and restricts enormously many companies. During the inventory many storage areas, which have to be inventoried, are closed for stock putaway and stock removal. Therefore, part of the regulated daily work of many companies cannot be performed. For this reason, it is necessary to make the inventories as efficient as possible. Not only the general time, required for the work, but also the number of the re-counts have to be minimized. 

The standard processes in SAP ECC are designed in such a way that separate count lists could be printed out after the inventory so that the employees, working in the warehouse, would fill them in. After the counting has ended, some results are manually transferred in SAP.

This approach is not only inefficient, but also unnecessarily time-consuming. Moreover, there are too many suppliers on the market, using mobile solutions for simplifying the inventory. A prerequisite for this process is substantial investment in hardware, software, licences, as well as a stable WLAN connection in the whole warehouse, which often comes along with additional expenses. The costs for such projects for midsized companies bear no relation to the expected benefits. What they need is a fast and simple solution, which could be realized without major investments.

Our add-on gives you the opportunity to choose any storage areas and to create with a few clicks the count lists, belonging to those areas, in any size in CSV format so that you could be able to edit them in MS-Excel. The employees need just a tablet in order to record digitally the count results directly during the inventory. A WLAN-connection is, therefore, not required.
