FAQ on WMS

General Questions

An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system integrates various business processes, such as production, sales, and inventory management, into a single platform. A WMS (Warehouse Management System), on the other hand, is specifically focused on managing warehouse operations, including stock control, order picking, packing, and shipping. WMS helps streamline warehouse workflows and provides real‑time insights to optimize efficiency, while ERP offers a broader view of business operations. However, ERP can contain a warehousing module which helps one manage all business processes in a single app.

To choose the best WMS, consider the specific needs of your business. Look for a cloud‑based software that integrates seamlessly with third‑party platforms, such as e‑commerce, accounting, and CRM. The right WMS should offer real‑time visibility into inventory, automate manual tasks, and provide powerful tools for order fulfillment, reducing costs and improving efficiency across your supply chain.

The four main types of WMS are:

  • Standalone WMS: Independent system focused solely on warehouse management.
  • Integrated WMS: A system that integrates with ERP or other software platforms for seamless operations.
  • Cloud‑based WMS: A web‑based platform offering real‑time access, automation, and scalability.
  • Hybrid WMS: Combines on‑premise and cloud solutions to optimize functionality and flexibility.

The six key steps in warehouse management include:

  • Receiving: Goods are delivered and checked into the warehouse.
  • Put‑away: Items are stored in their designated locations.
  • Picking: Products are selected based on sales orders.
  • Packing: Items are packed for shipment.
  • Shipping: Goods are dispatched to customers.
  • Returns Management: Handling returned items efficiently.

Key reports for efficient warehousing include:

  • Stock Movement Report: Tracks the movement of goods across warehouses.
  • Inventory Turnover Report: Measures how quickly inventory is sold and replaced.
  • Order Fulfillment Report: Shows the accuracy and efficiency of order picking and packing.
  • Demand Forecast Report: Predicts future stock needs based on trends and historical data.

WMS Solutions & Features

Kladana ERP works seamlessly with a single warehouse if that’s all you need. However, many entrepreneurs manage multiple warehouses for different purposes, such as specific production operations, or storing raw materials, finished goods, and WIP in different locations. You might also need to track goods in third‑party locations, or across company branches in different cities, or retail shops. In these cases, Kladana ERP allows you to specify and manage each warehouse individually.

Go to Settings → Warehouse, select the warehouse you want to manage, and edit its details. Here, you can add locations and bins to help you quickly locate items. By using pick lists with specific storage bins, your employees can process shipments, manage receivings, or fulfill sales orders more efficiently. For more details, check out our article on warehouse bins and address storage.

To implement barcoding, assign barcodes to products, batches, and storage bins. Use barcode scanning tools to automate inventory counts, order picking, and shipment processing. Barcoding increases accuracy and speeds up warehouse operations, reducing manual errors and improving real‑time visibility of stock levels.

A picking list is a document that details the products to be picked from the warehouse for a specific sales order. A packing slip is generated once the order is packed, and it includes information about the items in the shipment, ensuring accuracy during delivery and reducing errors in fulfillment.

Inventory & Stock

Managing warehouse inventory efficiently requires regular inventory counts, accurate stock tracking, and automation. Use a WMS with real‑time reporting to monitor stock levels, optimize storage space, and ensure orders are fulfilled on time. Set reorder points to automate stock replenishment and avoid stockouts.

You can perform inventory counts either manually or by using barcode scanning. Make sure all items are labeled with barcodes before starting. Once the counting is done, remember to create write‑offs or stock adjustments if you identify any discrepancies.

In WMS, you can find several types of inventory:

  • Raw Materials: Materials and components used in production.
  • Work‑in‑Progress (WIP): Items that are in the process of being manufactured.
  • Finished Goods: Products ready for sale or distribution.
  • MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations): Supplies used to maintain warehouse operations.

Warehouse stock levels refer to the quantity of goods stored in the warehouse at any given time. Key stock levels include:

  • On‑hand stock: Available inventory.
  • Committed stock: Items reserved for orders.
  • In‑transit stock: Goods being transferred to or from other locations.
  • Backordered stock: Items that are temporarily out of stock.

Batch tracking in a warehouse involves assigning a unique batch number to a group of products produced or received at the same time. Use a WMS to track these batches through each stage of the supply chain, from receiving to storage, picking, and shipment. Batch tracking helps with quality control, traceability, and compliance, ensuring that products can be traced back to their origin if needed.

Go to the Stock or Stock Movement report. Use the Product filter to select the required raw materials, and apply any additional filters as needed. This will give you a complete overview of your stock.

Open the sales order and check the «Allocate order to committed stock» checkbox to reserve the product for that particular customer.

You can transfer specific goods from a source warehouse to a target warehouse. Before the transfer, you can check the quantity of products available for transfer.
