WHM Outers

This program lets you view information on outers that have been created or dispatched.

Exploring

This program is accessed from the Program List of the SYSPRO menu:

  • Program List > Inventory > Warehouse Management > Missions and Tasks > Browses

This is a Warehouse Management process where picks are consolidated, split, and packaged in preparation for dispatch.

This adds efficiency in the dispatch process by reducing costs when consolidating multiple orders fora single customer and ensuring that picked items are packaged correctly.

An outer is a container, such as a box, package, bag, etc. in which the picked stock items are packed to prepare them for dispatch.

This is a Warehouse Management process that is implemented within a company to ensure that the correct stock items (with the correct lot and serial numbers) have been picked, to verify quality of picked items prior to dispatch and to confirm that completed picks have arrived at their destination.

A sales order may be set aside to create a pick at a later stage. These sales orders have not yet allocated stock.

You use the Pick Review program to select these sales orders (at a later stage) to create a pick.

This is the process of finding and extracting products from a warehouse bin to fulfill customer sales orders.
