The hand held terminal software is used for receiving and despatching goods in the warehouse and doing stock counts. The data collected on the terminal is then uploaded to the PC either in batch mode or in real-time to provide a perpetual inventory. The barcode printing module enables product and location barcodes to be printed on portable thermal transfer printers, such as the Zebra QL220.

Inventory control and product tracking with barcodes

There are many different types of stock that need tracking and most warehouse management systems do it by using barcode labels or tags. Products usually fall in to three categories.

Commodity products

This type of product does not need tracking down to individual product units, but you need to know when it came in and how much of it you have with perpetual inventory control.  An item with a specific product code can be held across many locations and the total quantity of the commodity in stock can be assessed easily with the stock by location report and the stock by product report. The movement of product as a result of sale, goods in or simply moving it to a new location is accompanied with a barcode scan providing an electronic record of the transaction.

Serial numbered products

User products such as televisions instruments that have individual serial numbers.  When they are sold the individual serial number is removed from stock so that at any one point in time a complete list of serial numbers is held as well as the total number of units in stock.

Batch numbers

The use of batch numbers is a combination of a serial number and a commodity product.  The best example would be a pallet of bags of flour where it is necessary to track the data that the bags came in and their batch number without having to serially number each individual bag.

Component traceability

The use of kits all bills of materials combined with serial numbers provides traceability of the components of a product.
