Do we know what's on hand, where it is and what state it's in?
Know what's on hand, where it is, and what state it's in.
Receive against the purchase order, put away by location, pick by lot and count as you go — one stock record shared with production, alongside your ERP.
Workflow 3 of 6 · Inventory & Warehouse
How it runs
V5 keeps stock, lots and warehouse movements in the same system as production, so what the floor consumes and what the warehouse holds are the same numbers. Receive, locate, pick and count, then coordinate pack and load.
Step 1 of 5
Receive
Book material in against the purchase order and give each container a lot identity.
What changes
One stock figure
Production consumption and warehouse movements update the same lot records.
Lot-Level Control
Every movement is tied to a lot, which is what later makes traceability possible.
Workspace rules, recorded
Where a workspace permits exceptions such as using an expired batch, each one is recorded against the job with the operator's signature.
