Transfers Within A Warehouse

Transfers within an individual warehouse do not require any EMS (Enterprise Management System) interface.

The required types are:

• Transfer entire contents of a location.

• Transfer a single serial-numbered item. This has a unique SSN so is a special case of the previous transfer.

Transfers Between Warehouses

The transfer is treated in the P-trak system as a pick process. Transfers between P-trak controlled warehouses, generated from EMS, do not require updates to be sent to EMS as the movement is considered complete in EMS.

StockTake

Both Cyclical and ad-hoc StockTake are supported P-trak. Stock adjustments can either be performed on EMS or on the P-trak system or both simultaneously.

Reconciliation between the P-trak and EMS systems is performed through the variance reporting facility, this is a warehouse privileged function in P-trak.
