Warehouse accounting is the final leg of the order’s journey: the furniture is ready, lies in the warehouse and waits to be handed over. The customer sees that the order is ready and which cell their pallets are in, and picks it up without calls and searching, while the company has every order and every sheet of raw material accounted for — from receiving to transfer into the shop.

Ready and waiting: readiness notification

As soon as the order is ready, the customer gets a notification — they can come. See “Readiness report”, “Readiness marking” and “Notifications and news”. Assembly, handover and return intake are handled by “Order assembly: packaging, handover, return intake”.

Where the order lies: pallets by cell

When a finished order is handed over to the warehouse, production lays it out on pallets and specifies which cells they are in. After that the customer or storekeeper only has to scan the order blank — and the system shows which pallet and which warehouse cell the order is in. No more “go and look”. See “Order blank (short form)”, “Orders and pallets”, “Pallets: creation and moving”, “Pallet tags” and “Storage cells”.

Addressed raw-material storage: where to take it and transfer to the shop

Raw material is also stored by address — by cell. When picking material for an order, the system prompts which cell to take it from, and the transfer of sheets from the warehouse to production is recorded so that the stock adds up. See “Storage cells”, “Receiving sheet stock into the warehouse”, “Moving a remainder to another cell”, “Inventory: the general principle” and “Writing off a remainder and returning it”.

Accounting for orders and remainders

Every order is under control from readiness to shipment — “Current orders” and “Shipped orders” (the whole section “Orders”). And the stock always adds up: tracking by cell, reservation for a customer, return of offcuts after cutting and their reuse. See “Factory stock”, “Reserving a remainder for a customer”, “Returning a remainder after cutting” and “Remainders for the customer”; sections “Inventory” and “Remainders and buying without cutting”.

The bottom line: the warehouse is transparent through and through — by scanning the blank the customer instantly finds their pallets, production takes raw material from the right cells, and the company loses neither orders nor a single sheet of material.
