Basic Inventory Tracking

Posted on by 10

We are in the process of moving our ERP solution to Business Central.  It will be around a year to get our current ERP system fully transitioned to Business Central.  Currently our warehouse is 100% paper-based.  As a first step we would like to start using Business Central to track inventory for some of our items.  What we want to do is have the ability to put a barcode on items as they come in.  Scan them and scan the rack location they are being put away in and put the quantity in.  Also we would like to be able to pull items from the rack in a similar fashion.  We have installed WMS Express and tried the put-away functionality but we are hitting an issue.  The software wants a purchase order and at this time purchase orders are tracked outside of business central and they won't be brought in until we complete the ERP transition project.

Is there another way to just track inventory pull/put-away using a barcode scanner where we only track the inventory quantity and location in business central without integrating with the full process with purchase orders, etc.?

    you will need a solution that works either with the item journal or with inventory put-aways. WMS Express comes in to varieties looking on appsource. You will need the WMS Express: Basic Warehouse to have the things I am mentioning. That one is still free: www.dmsiworks.com/.../

    Gary,

    First congratulations moving to BC. Adding to Josh's reply... To make this phased, I would start with the FREE Insight Works WMS Express, up to 5 devices, and you will be able to scan, receive on PO's or record adjustments. You can also use for shipments out easily.  AFter you have more than 5 devices you can upgrade to Insight Works Warehouse Insight.  Here are the links to information and videos:

    Thanks,
