Overview
Oracle Retail Warehouse Management System, part of Oracle Retail's Supply Chain
Planning and Execution solution group, facilitates the coordinated movement of
merchandise and information throughout the distribution process. Using
sophisticated, yet flexible configuration and built-in best practices, it ensures the
efficient utilization of resources—people, equipment, and space in your distribution
process.
Oracle Retail Warehouse Management System (RWMS) is an N-tier, Web-architected
warehouse management system. RWMS is the centerpiece of the Oracle Retail
Enterprise, a suite of software products that manages and optimizes retail and
consumer-direct (catalog, e-commerce) supply chains. RWMS streamlines the supply
chain for multichannel retailers, including store, catalog, and e-commerce retailers.
RWMS also supports consumer-direct fulfillment capabilities, moving merchandise
both to and from the customer faster and at a lower cost.
■ With Oracle Retail Warehouse Management System you can maximize your
investment in distribution facilities and equipment, even extending execution
capabilities beyond your four walls to increase visibility through trading partner
collaboration.
■ Accelerate the flow of merchandise through the supply chain, reducing lead times
and freeing up working capital.
■ Real-time inventory management and best practices provide timely, accurate data,
resulting in increased operating efficiencies and improved forecasting, planning,
and allocation.
■ Built-in best practices, optimization algorithms, and workload monitoring.
■ Configurable solution supports all facility types and merchandise flows, including
cross-dock, flow-through, and pick-by-line.
■ Built-in best practices support all facets of grocery, soft-lines, hard-lines, and
consumer direct operations.
■ Extend execution capabilities beyond the four walls to trading partners through
support of Advanced Ship Notices (ASN), inbound planning, appointment
scheduling, and yard management.
■ Standard integration to high-speed material handling and sortation equipment
like unit, case, and garment sorters as well as pick/put-to-light equipment.

ASN Entry
Advanced shipment notices (ASN) may be entered directly into the system with a
standard web browser and Internet or intranet connection. This feature offers low cost,
global access to an existing Internet infrastructure. After ASNs are entered, inbound
freight scheduling can be handled in the standard way.
If you log on as a valid vendor, the ASNs that are associated with your vendor number
are automatically displayed. You see only those details pertaining to your user ID and
vendor number. Retail users have access to the details associated with all vendors.
The ASN may be one of the following types:
■ Container type ASN: Merchandise comes to the distribution center in containers
with UCC128 labels. Typically, these labels are provided by the vendor. These are
usually cross-docked items.
■ Purchase order (PO) type ASN: Merchandise shares the same ASN, PO, and
destination ID. Merchandise does not come with UCC128 container labels.
■ Tare type ASN: Merchandise is received on a pallet. There may be a single item or
multiple items on the pallet. If the pallet is destined to a predefined location, it is
immediately cross docked; otherwise, the pallet is put away. Tare type ASNs are
received via electronic data interchange (EDI) transmissions.
Workflow Process
You begin adding an ASN by entering header details. Before continuing, you must
indicate whether the ASN is a PO type ASN (Type P) or a container type ASN (Type
C). If the ASN is a PO type ASN, you can add all line items on a selected PO or add
line items individually from one or multiple POs.
If the ASN is a container type ASN, you add a container. Next, you can add all line
items on a selected PO or add individual line items from the selected PO. A container
may contain line items from a single purchase order only.
Two additional features are available for adding containers and items to container
type ASNs:
■ Copy: You can add a container and its contents to an ASN by copying an existing
container from the same ASN. The new container will have the same PO, line item,
and unit quantity per case.
■ Replicate: You can add multiple containers by providing the details once and
entering the number of containers that share those same details. Only manually
entered ASNs may be edited in RWMS. ASNs received from the host system or via
electronic data interchange (EDI) can not be edited.

Appointments
An appointment is an arrangement to receive merchandise into the distribution center

at a specified time and place. A valid appointment consists of the following details:
date, time, and receiving door. Advanced shipment notices (ASN) or purchase orders
with items and unit quantities are associated with appointments.
The receiving window, or window of opportunity, for an appointment is based on the
Deliver Not Before and Deliver Not After dates found on a purchase order. Only one
trailer may be assigned to an appointment, but one trailer may contain merchandise
from multiple purchase orders or some of the merchandise from one purchase order.
The system tracks the status of an appointment from the moment it is entered into the
system. The status may be:
■ Unscheduled (Unsc): The appointment was entered into the system without one or
more of the following: date, time, or receiving door. A receiving package is not
generated for unscheduled appointments.
■ Scheduled (Schd): The appointment appears on the calendar. The merchandise to
be received may or may not be known.
■ Pending (Pend): A receiving package was printed in anticipation of the arrival of
the expected merchandise.
■ Open (Open): The trailer that is associated with the appointment is being
unloaded.
■ Unreconciled (Unrc): The appointment has some discrepancies concerning what
was received. The appointment must be reconciled. The door, however, is
available for another appointment.
■ Received (Rcvd): The expected merchandise was received during the
appointment.
Business Process
An appointment may be entered into the system with minimal information. If the date,
time, and receiving door are entered, the appointment appears on the calendar.
Otherwise, it is held in the system as an unscheduled appointment.
The details of an appointment are entered from purchase orders or ASNs. Purchase
orders and items are generally received from the host system. Purchase orders may
also be created automatically in RWMS from store to DC transfers. ASNs may be
received from an external source or entered manually.
Several types of appointments may be entered into the system:
Appointments 3-1
■ Non-ASN/Non-NSC: Appointment details are entered from purchase orders.
Casepack quantities are known. Lot numbers can be entered for items on this type
of appointment. (NSC means non-specified casepack.)
■ Non-ASN/NSC: Appointment details are entered from purchase orders. Casepack
quantities are not known.
■ ASN/NSC: Appointment details are entered from ASNs. Casepack quantities are
known for container type ASNs but unknown for PO type ASNs.
■ ASN/Non-NSC: Appointment details are entered from ASNs. Casepack quantities
are known.
As you set up an appointment, you can indicate whether quality assurance or vendor
audit checks should be made on the merchandise when it is received. In such cases,
you can indicate the sampling percentages and number of containers at the style level.
Unscheduled appointments (those without a date, time, or receiving door) can be
scheduled when the missing details are known. You can access schedules for receiving
doors in order to 1) schedule unscheduled appointments, 2) change existing schedules,
3) block or unblock access to doors, or 3) view a bar chart that shows utilization
percentages by door for a specified date.
You can look up appointments, ASNs, and purchase orders in the Appointments
module.
Reports
There are two versions of the Appointment Schedule report:
■ When requested from the Appointment Schedule window, the report lists all
scheduled appointments for the specified date.
■ When requested from the Unscheduled Appointment Inquiry window, the report
lists all unscheduled appointments.
The Appointment Compliance report lists all appointments received on a specified
date that have trouble codes.

of appointment. The purpose of standing appointments is to reserve door/time slots
for regular weekly appointments. When the actual delivery information becomes
available (for example, PO, items), an actual appointment can be created by assigning
it to one of these "reserved" slots.
■ The start and end dates specify the length of time that the standing appointment
will be used.
■ The start and end times specify the expected duration of these appointments.
■ The check boxes for day of the week specify which days will be used for these
weekly appointments. (Multiple days may apply, for example, Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday every week from noon until 1 p.m.)
■ Vendor is a required field and must be selected.
■ Carrier is optional; but if specified, the standing appointment will be available
only for that vendor/carrier combination.
■ New standing appointments created will always be "Active", but this field can be
used to deactivate them prior to expiration.

Receiving
Many of the receiving tasks are performed using a hand-held, radio frequency (RF)
device. The RF device can be used to open appointments, receive merchandise,
perform quality checks, assign trouble codes if necessary, reconcile appointments, and
close appointments. Information from the RF device is transmitted to RWMS, where it
can be monitored and acted upon.
Business Process
Prior to receiving merchandise, you can generate receiving packages for all but NSC
type appointments. For both ASN and non-ASN type appointments, the receiving
package contains a report listing the expected merchandise. Depending on system
settings, receiving labels may be printed for non-ASN type appointments. You can
monitor the status of the print requests for receiving packages. The status may be:
Submitted, In-Work, Done, or Failed. You can rush an urgent request or resubmit a
failed request.
You can print generic labels for blind receipts, label-less receiving, or ASN type
appointments that have PO type ASNs. Generic labels are not used for NSC type
appointments.
If some receiving labels are not used, you can nullify them. If the information changes
for a non-ASN type appointment, you would first nullify the labels and then reprint
them. You can monitor the status of receiving doors. The status of a door may be Busy
or Available. You can also view the items received by receipt number.
Should trouble codes be assigned to a container, the troubled merchandise must be
resolved or refused. If the troubled merchandise is resolved, it can be received into
inventory. If the merchandise is refused, it is marked for return to the vendor.
You can edit the contents of a container, when necessary. This includes changing unit
and container quantities, adding and deleting items, and entering receipt weights and
best before dates.
The status of a container is tracked from the moment it is entered into the system. The
status may be:
■ Appointed (A): The container is associated with an inbound appointment; it is not
yet received.
■ Distributed (D): The container contains allocated merchandise.
■ Inventory (I): The container is eligible for allocation.
■ Manifested (M): The container is associated with a bill of lading.
■ Non-saleable (N): The container contains returned merchandise that is marked as
not resalable.
Receiving 4-1
Generate Receiving Labels
■ Pick (P): The container is associated with a pick package.

■ Return to vendor (R): The container contains merchandise that is marked for

■ Shipped (S): The container is released from the distribution center and in transit to
a ship-to destination.
■ Troubled (T): The container contains merchandise that is marked with one or more
trouble codes that must be resolved.
■ Expired (X): The container contains merchandise that has passed the designated
pick not-after date and is no longer valid.
Reports
The following reports are available in the Receiving module:
■ ASN Receiving Package Audit report: Provides details for both container type and
purchase order type ASNs that are associated with an ASN type appointment.
■ Receiving Package Audit List report: Provides details for containers and purchase
orders that are associated with a non-ASN type appointment.
■ Receiving Adjustments report: Provides details regarding any adjustments made
to unit quantities on a received appointment.
■ Refusal Advice report: Provides details regarding merchandise that was marked
for return to vendor rather than received into inventory.
■ ASN Receiving Receipt report: Provides details regarding items received for an
ASN type appointment.
■ Receiving Receipt report: Provides details regarding items received for a non-ASN

Returns
When consumers return merchandise to the warehouse, a strategy must be in place to

handle those returns. There are two basic steps to handling returns: Receiving the
merchandise into the DC and processing the return.
Business Process
The host system notifies RWMS of pending returns. You can view the pending returns
order to gauge the number of returns that are expected to arrive on a particular date.
When the merchandise is received it is moved to the returns area for processing. You
can look up the details of a return, such as ship to and bill to information.
Returned merchandise is processed at the item level. You must assign a reason code
and an action code for each item/quantity in the container. If the item was replaced,
you must identify the replacement item. After each item is processed, you are
prompted to assign disposition codes and any necessary WIP codes.
Reason codes indicate why the merchandise was returned. Action codes indicate how
the merchandise should be handled. For example, an item may be returned to
inventory, replaced with another item, or returned to vendor. The disposition code
indicates the status of the returned item. The merchandise in the container may be
marked as saleable or non-saleable. When an item is marked as non-saleable, it must
be moved from the original container to a non-saleable container.
Reports
The Pending Returns report provides a list of returns that are past their expected
arrival date.

Processing
WIP (work in process) codes may be assigned to containers in order to direct

personnel in the distribution center to perform value added services to the contents of
the container. The system understands from the WIP code where the container must
be staged in order for a certain activity to be performed on the container.
In the processing module, you can accomplish the following tasks:
■ Assign WIP codes to containers.
■ Process WIP code activities.
■ Verify that the WIP codes were processed.
Business Process
WIP codes may be assigned to individual containers. As an alternative, you can apply
a WIP code to all containers that are associated with an appointment, ASN, purchase
order, item, location, distro, wave, or destination. It is necessary to assign the WIP
codes in sequential order; that is, in the order that the work must be performed.
Merchandise is routed to the staging location for each WIP on a container's WIP list in
sequential order. When the activity required by a WIP code is performed, the DC
personnel must indicate when the activity was started and when it was finished. These
time stamps allow the system to track the status of each WIP code.
The status of a WIP code may be:
■ Next: An activity has not been started, but the previous WIP code in the WIP list is
Closed.
■ Open: An activity has not yet been started.
■ In progress: A start time has been entered for the activity, but not an end time.
■ Closed: An end time has been entered for the activity.
Before merchandise is placed in inventory or shipped, a quality check can be
performed. During the quality check, you can assign trouble codes as necessary,
request hot picks for shorted orders, adjust quantities, or record dimensions and
attributes for containers and items.

Inventory Management
The Inventory Management module provides you with detailed views and reports of
the current inventory situation. Inventory can be maintained by container and
locations can be marked for cycle counts.
Requests can be entered manually to fill forward pick locations to capacity. The system
reviews other replenishment requests before determining the quantity necessary to fill
such locations. You can also enter requests to deactivate or consolidate forward pick
locations.
Business Process
Inventory can be looked at in a variety of ways. You can view inventory by:
■ Item: Look up where an item is stored. You can mark locations for cycle count.
■ Location: Look up which items are stored in a location. You can mark the location
for cycle count.
■ Purchase order: Look up items that are associated with a purchase order and their
current locations. You can mark locations for cycle count.
■ Vendor: Look up containers that are associated with a vendor and the current
locations of the containers.
■ Container: Look up items by container and the current location of the container.
You can view the child containers of a parent container or the parent container of a
child container.
■ Summaries: Look up container and unit totals by a variety of search criteria, then
select how you want to view the details.
Containers and the items within them can be maintained. You can add and delete
containers in inventory, add and delete the items within a container, or split an item
between containers.
Items may be transferred from one item ID to another. Inventory is adjusted
automatically to account for the loss of inventory under the previous item ID and the
gain in inventory under the new item ID.
As new items are received from the host system, you can apply the appropriate item
class to each new item. The items inherit the defaults, processes, and equipment
classes of the item class to which they are assigned.
Containers can be marked for return to vendor. You can select or enter the return
address for the vendor. Paper picks can be confirmed or the pick directives may be
purged from the system. This pertains to unit pick, pick to belt, and pick to pallet
activities.
Inventory Management 7-1

You can look up the locations that are marked for cycle counts. The locations may
have been manually marked (MM) or system selected (SS). Units of measure and their
conversion factors can also be viewed.

Distribution Planning
Distribution planning can begin when stock orders are received from the host system
or manually entered into RWMS. Some stock orders received from the host are
processed automatically. Manually-entered orders and orders marked as manual or
PO by the host must be processed manually.
Stock orders are replenishment requests by stores. These stock orders are referred to as
distros. For a distribution center that supplies merchandise directly to the consumer, a
stock order represents a customer order. A customer order may be spread across one
or multiple distros based on the cartonization process. For example, if the system
determines that a customer order with five items fits into two outbound shipping
containers, a distro is created for each container.
Stock orders are categorized as pre-allocations, post allocations, and post allocations
by PO depending on how the orders are filled.
■ Pre-allocation: Distribution of inbound merchandise. Pre-allocations enter the
system in one of two ways: 1) Stock order and stock allocation records are received
from the host. The records contain detailed information for both ASN and
non-ASN receipts. 2) Vendors enter ASN information into RWMS via the Web.
■ Post allocation: Distribution of merchandise after it is received and put away in
storage locations. RWMS distributes merchandise by identifying all containers
eligible for bulk picking, then container picking. The remaining allocations are
satisfied through a unit pick system.
■ Post allocation by purchase order: RWMS examines all containers in storage and
staging locations and retrieves eligible inventory based on the user-entered
purchase order that is associated with a stock order.
When manual and PO type stock orders are selected for distribution, they are assigned
to available waves. Each wave may use one of the following distribution methods:
■ Efficiency: The picker is sent to a sequence of locations that fulfills the demand in
the least distance traveled. This minimizes walking time for the picker. The picker
picks from each location until is it empty.
■ Pick to clean: The picker is sent to the most locations that can be picked clean in
order to meet the demand. This frees up the most locations, which can then be
used to store other inbound merchandise.
Business Process
If you manually create a stock order, you must assign it to an available wave. Should
the appropriate wave not exist, you can create a wave. Manual and PO type stock
orders that are received from the host must also be assigned to waves. You can select
such stock orders using predefined queries or sets of queries.
Distribution Planning 8-1

A wave is a group of orders that can be released together for picking and shipment.
The distribution process varies by the type of wave used to distribute merchandise.
The type of wave may be:
■ Automatic: All open, automatic orders that are eligible for distribution are
assigned to the next available wave of the type Automatic. These assignments are
controlled by the host.
■ Manual: DC personnel select manual type orders and assign them to available
waves of the type Manual.
■ PO: DC personnel select PO type orders and assign them to available waves of the
type PO.
■ Predist: If inbound containers contain a pre-allocated item that can be shipped
directly without exceeding the requested quantity, the system assigns the order to
an available wave of the type Predist.
■ Wave: DC personnel assign specific destinations to daily pick waves of the type
Wave.
After you assign the wave distribution processes, you can estimate the staffing plan by
associating process percentages to the wave and entering the hours needed to
complete the wave.
There are several windows that allow you to monitor the progress of orders, pick
waves, and pack waves. You can view the percentages of an order that are at the
various stages of processing. You can view the planned and picked quantities for bulk,
case, and unit operations by wave and by destination. Pick directives can be viewed
and purged from the system.
Reports
The following distribution reports are available for distribution planning:
■ Outstanding Orders report: Provides a list of undistributed or partially distributed
stock orders.
■ Pending Picks report: Provides a list of pending picks by wave and type of
operation (bulk, container, replenishment, and unit).
■ Pick Package Audit report: Indicates where problems may have occurred when a
pick package was printed for a wave.
■ PTS Containers to Close report: Provides a list of put to store containers that have
been open longer than a preset number of days.
■ Wave Preview report: Provides a breakdown by operation (bulk, case,
replenishment, and unit) for a tentative manual wave.

Shipping
Many of the shipping tasks are performed using a hand-held, truck mounted, or wrist
mounted radio frequency (RF) device. The RF device can be used when loading and
unloading trailers, and to indicate the status of a trailer. Information from the RF
device is transmitted to RWMS, where it can be monitored.
In RWMS, you can estimate the total weight and volume of a stock order or shipment
so you can better plan your routes. You can plan the amount of physical space needed
in the trailer and the best order to load the trailer for the route. You can send the
estimates to a third party system to determine optimal trailer loading. The third party
system communicates that information back to RWMS and to the warehouse.
Business Process
You can monitor the loading progress at shipping doors. The status of a door may be:
■ Busy: Either a trailer is being loaded or the door is blocked and can not be used.
■ Available: The door is not blocked or in use. A trailer may be assigned to the door
for loading.
Reports
The following reports pertain to shipping:
■ Bill of Lading report: Provides a list of the items that are loaded in a trailer for a
specified bill of lading.
■ Container Manifest report: Provides a list of items in the containers for a specified
bill of lading.
■ Destination Shipment Audit report: Provides the details of one or more manifests
for a specified trailer ID and ship date.
■ Outbound Quality Audit report: Provides a comparison between expected item
counts and actual item counts for a specified outbound container.
■ Unloaded Container report: Provides a list of all locations that contain container
that are qualified to be shipped, then displays containers for that location, based
on carrier/service/route or destination ID. Warehouse personnel can use the
information to pick and load the containers onto trailers.

zones, zone groups, and locations. Some types of locations, such as doors, forward
pick locations, and put to store locations, require additional details. Common
characteristics of locations may be defined at the location type level. Location classes
can be used to group locations with similar defaults, processes, and equipment types.
Unit pick systems can be set up and putaway plans can be defined.

DC Setup Overview
The DC setup module allows you to set up various aspects of the distribution center.

DC Setup
Business Process
There are several ways to set up the DC. Some factors to consider are the business
process flow, the physical layout of the DC, the types of merchandise received, the
types of containers used, and the equipment used to put away and pick merchandise.
Once a strategy is developed, you can set up the following:
■ Cartonization: Set up container types, including measurements. For outbound
containers, state the collateral and dunnage weights. Group container types into
carton groups which can be assigned to items.
■ Location types and location classes: Location types should be created for each
unique material handling and storage configuration. Location classes are used to
group locations with similar characteristics, processes, and equipment classes
assigned to them. When a location type and a location class are assigned to a
location, the location inherits the location type and location class settings. If
necessary, you can modify those settings at the location level.
■ Location hierarchy: Set up the DC departments, regions, work areas, zones, and
locations that exist in the DC. Assign attributes to each location. Identify the
shipping and receiving doors and the shipping destinations. Enter the capacity
and inventory for each forward pick location. Associate put-to-store (PTS)
locations with outbound destinations. Set up random active locations for less than
case distribution.
■ Unit pick systems: Set up the sorter groups. Then set up the unit pick systems,
including the induct zones and destinations. Set up the chutes, including their
maximum capacity and fill percentages.
■ Putaway plans: Define the putaway plans, including the zones, location types, and
putaway methods. The putaway method may be: 1) put into a location that is
empty (EMP), 2) put into a location that contains the same item, casepack, and lot
(SAM), or 3) put into a location that contains a different item, casepack, and lot
(DIF).
Reports
The Location Class Profile report lists all defaults, processes, and equipment classes
assigned to a specified location class or location. At the location class level, you can
choose to display all locations that are members of the location class or only those
members with exceptions. For more information, see Reports.
Cartonization and Containers

Cartonization refers to the automated calculations that RWMS performs in order to
determine the proper size and type of box in which to pack each customer order for
outbound shipment.
The cartonization process relies on the following steps:
1. Set up the container types, including the dimensions and weight.
2. Define additional characteristics for outbound container types. State the collateral
weight, dunnage weight, and maximum dunnage.
■ Collateral weight: The weight of extra materials that are included in a carton,
such as flyers, coupons, and so on.
■ Dunnage weight: The weight of the packing materials.
■ Minimum dunnage: The least amount of dunnage that a carton is expected to
contain.

DC Setup
Note: The available weight for a carton is calculated as the

maximum weight designated for the container type minus the
collateral and minimum dunnage weights set up for the outbound
container.
3. Group container types into carton groups. Define one or more attribute types for
carton groups, define attributes to correspond with each carton group. Assign the
attributes to items.
4. The following system parameters must be set for the cartonization process:
■ default_carton_group: Identifies the default carton group assigned to an item
when a carton group has not been selected.
■ exception_cont_type: Identifies the default container type assigned to an item
if none of the container types in the default carton group fits the item.

Random Active Locations

RWMS can use random active locations to store units for less than case distribution.
This is useful if a broken case quantity is ordered for an item which is not assigned to a
unit pick location. In this case, the system distributes items from a random location.
Depending on how system parameters are set up, locations may be automatically
assigned or the user may assign locations during the replenishment process.
The following issues must be considered when using random active locations:
1. An active (type A) putaway plan must be assigned to the item.
2. A region must be set up for random active locations. The entry location for the
region serves as the drop-off location for replenishment.
3. The location must be associated with a location type that allows random active
locations.
4. The random active locations must be in zones that are included in the putaway
plan. The zones must be in regions set up for random active locations.
5. The following system parameters must be set:
■ def_random_putaway: Identifies the default putaway plan assigned to an item
for which a putaway plan has not been selected. The plan must be type A.
■ dynamic_random_slot: Enter N (No) to allow the user to select random
locations during the replenishment process. Enter Y (Yes) to prevent the user
from overriding the putaway location.
■ random_replen_dest_id: Identify an internal destination ID for random active
location functionality.
■ random_active_stage: If a staging location is used as a drop-off point for
replenishment containers destined for random active locations, identify the
staging location.
Unit Sorter Setup

When processing waves, RWMS 1) determines the quantity of merchandise that fits
into each chute of a unit sorter, 2) assigns units to the appropriate chute, and 3)
properly distributes merchandise from a pick wave into multiple pack waves across
multiple sorters in a sorter group.
The process for setting up unit sorters is as follows:
1. Identify the sorter groups.
■ Set the maximum number of pack waves allowed for each pick wave.
■ Indicate where merchandise should be dropped-off for both conveyable and
non-conveyable merchandise.
2. Assign sorter groups to unit pick systems.
■ Indicate the number of chutes to be used for each pack wave (referred to as
pack wave size).

DC Setup
3. Set up the induct zones, the pick-up and drop-off locations, and the internal
destinations for unit pick systems.
4. Identify the chute types. Chute types are identified on downloaded or manually
created stock orders.
■ Normal orders are routed to a system-defined, regular chute type. Identify the
regular chute type for the system parameter reg_pack_chute.
5. Set up the chutes. Associate each chute with a chute type. Limit the chute to
particular brand if necessary. Enter the maximum capacity by cube, units, and
number of orders. State the fill and regular fill percentages.
6. For each item in the system, indicate whether it is a sortable item.

Equipment/Zone Setup Overview

The Equipment/Zone Setup module provides you with options for identifying and
grouping the equipment used in the distribution center (DC). You can set up zones
within the DC and restrict equipment classes to designated zones.
Once equipment classes are defined, you can assign them to activities, items, locations,
processes, and zones. This information is used by RWMS when calculating which
tasks should be assigned to operators.
Business Process
Equipment
■ Setting up equipment classes and equipment is optional in RWMS. Equipment

setup is required, however, if you intend to use XYZ functionality in the Labor
Management (RLM) product. To set up equipment:
■ Define equipment classes. Indicate how many pallets and the maximum weight
the equipment can tolerate. Provide the horizontal and vertical clearance, as well
as the vertical reach of equipment associated with the equipment class.
■ Identify each piece of equipment. Assign the equipment to an equipment class.
The equipment inherits the characteristics of the equipment class to which it is
assigned. Provide the horizontal and vertical speeds of the equipment. Indicate
whether equipment operators must be certified.
Zones
Zones are used to group locations where putaway, distribution, and picking tasks take
place. Zones that are used for distribution and picking tasks may be grouped into zone
groups. To set up zones:
■ Identify the zones. Select the appropriate characteristics for each zone.
■ Define zone groups. Assign zones to each zone group in order of priority.
Equipment and zones
You can assign equipment classes to zones in order to restrict the use of equipment to
specific zones.
Reports
There are no reports pertaining to equipment and zone setup.

Cycle Count Plans

Cycle counting is the process of taking inventory at locations within a DC. Locations
may be manually marked for cycle counts. Another option is to allow the system to
automatically mark locations for cycle counts. The system marks locations depending
on the method that you choose in the system settings. The methods you can choose
from are by location, zone, and item.
Cycle Counts By Location

Specify how often, in days, the entire distribution center should be counted. Each day,
a number of locations are automatically marked for counting. For example, if there are
1000 locations and the frequency is 100 days, RWMS marks 10 locations every day for
counting.
To set up cycle counts by location, the system parameter, cycle_count_type, must be
set to location. The parameter, cycle_count_period, must be set to the desired number
of days.
Cycle Counts by Zone

Specify how often, in days, the locations within each zone are counted. The system
automatically marks the locations for cycle counting. Different zones can have
different cycle count frequencies.
To set up cycle counts by zone, the system parameter, cycle_count_type, must be set to
zone. Cycle count plans must be defined in the Cycle Count Planning window. On the
Zone Editor window, select the appropriate cycle count plan for the zone.
Cycle Counts by Item

Specify how often, in days, the locations containing the specified item are counted. The
system automatically marks the location for cycle counting. If the location contains an
assortment of items, all items within the location must be counted. Different items can
have different cycle count frequencies. Note that if a location contains an assortment of
items, the location may be marked for counting more frequently than desired, since
cycle counts may overlap each other.
To set up cycle counts by item, the system parameter, cycle_count_type, must be set to
item. On the Cycle Count Planning window, define the cycle count plans. On the Item
Master Editor window, select the appropriate cycle count plan for the item.

User/Task Setup
User/Task Setup
The User/task Setup is used to set up the rules that allow RWMS to automatically
assign tasks to users. Define user classes, users, activities, and service standards.
Assign users to task groups and monitor task assignments.
This section includes the following:
■ User/Task Setup Overview
■ Assign Equipment Classes to Activities
■ Maintain Activity Codes and Service Standards
■ Assign Task Priority Rules
■ Maintain Task Groups
■ Maintain the Task Queue
■ Maintain User Classes
■ Generate the User Class Inquiry Report
■ Maintain Translations of User Messages
■ Maintain Users
■ Maintain User Task Assignments
User/Task Setup Overview

The User/Task Setup module increases labor efficiency by controlling the delegation
of work to individuals in a real-time, interactive manner.
Upon starting an RF session, a user chooses task optimization mode. In this mode, the
user enters the type of equipment being used, a start and end location, and a task
group. After entering a few additional parameters, the appropriate tasks are
automatically assigned to the user.
Tasks are assigned to users based on the rules defined for the distribution center.
Business Process
When planning task assignments, the two primary components to set up are users and
tasks. Once those are defined, you can assign users to task groups. The system then
assigns the appropriate tasks to users and you can edit the resulting assignments.
Users
■ Set up user classes and assign processes to each user class. User classes are used to
group users who perform similar tasks.
■ Identify users. Provide them with the appropriate level of access and enter their
preferred language. Assign users to a user class and indicate their experience
levels for picking and packing activities.
Tasks
■ Define activities. When defined, you set the service standards for each activity. In
particular, you indicate whether the activity should appear in the task queue. If
the activity is included in the task queue, a priority level must be set. Link each
activity to a process.
■ Assign primary and secondary equipment classes to each activity.

User/Task Setup
■ Create task groups. Activities that require the same equipment classes may be
grouped into task groups. The task groups can then be assigned to users.
Users and classes

■ Assign the appropriate attributes to a user class.
■ Assign users who are likely to perform the same processes to a user class.
Users and tasks

■ Assign users to a task group and restrict their task assignments to a particular
region or zone. Indicate whether task assignments should be assigned in location
order, priority order, or no particular order.
■ Tasks appear in the task queue depending on which activities were chosen to
appear there. Activities are automatically assigned to users based on how users
and activities were set up in RWMS. You can edit the priority or assigned user for
tasks in the queue. You can also delete tasks from the queue.
Reports
The User Class Inquiry report lists all processes and users assigned to a user class.

Activity History Log
The activity history log allows you to track historical information about activities
within a distribution center. You can choose which data should be tracked and specify
the sources of that data.
Some basic reports and simple query functionality are provided within RWMS. It is
recommended that more extensive manipulation of the data be performed with data
warehousing tools.
As containers pass through distribution center, historical records are kept in RWMS.
You can use this information to track a container's progress.
Business Process
There are three phases to setting up the activity history log in RWMS:
■ A system option must be set to turn on the logging function.
■ You must indicate how many days worth of data to retain for each table. Data
older than the set number of days are purged from the log.
■ You must select the fields against which activity is logged. You can select those
fields by screen or by table/field. Some activities, however, are always logged.
These activities involve users overriding certain defaults and skipping activities.
Simple queries can be run on the data from within RWMS.
Reports
You can generate activity history log reports for the following elements:
■ Container: Shows all activity logged for a selected container and date range.
■ Item: Shows all activity logged for a selected item.
■ Location: Shows all activity logged for a selected location and date range.
■ Stock order: Shows all activity logged for a selected customer order.
■ User: Shows all activity logged for a selected user and date range.
System Administration
For activities to be logged, the activity history log functionality must be turned on. The
setting for the system parameter, ahl_log, may be:
■ 0 (zero): The functionality is turned off.
■ 1: The functionality is turned on. Activities are written to the ACTIVITY_LOG
table.
