Additional Information
Using Warehouse Management

Overview

The RB or Warehouse Management module provides an interface between the paperless warehouse management system (WMS) and the PointForce Enterprise (PFE) inventory system. Transactional information is passed between the two systems to streamline invoicing and receiving processes. Orders and purchase orders are entered in PFE and then downloaded to WMS for shipping/receiving. Actual shipping and receiving information entered in WMS is uploaded into PFE for the automatic generation of invoices for orders, and controls for the receiving of stock. Stock adjustments entered in WMS are uploaded into PFE to keep the inventory systems synchronized, and further tools are provided for physical stock counts and synchronization of the two inventory systems.

Here is a diagram that depicts the relationship between PFE and WMS:
