ProSKU App – Introduction

The ProSKU Android App is designed to allow warehouse operational tasks (movements) to be performed via a mobile computing device. The App uses dedicated screen functions different to those in the ProSKU WMS, specifically designed to be easy to use on a small mobile device.

Using the App means operational paperwork can be largely eliminated and movements can be performed and updated in real time, using barcode scanning to verify or capture data where required.

The App can only be used in conjunction with the ProSKU WMS. This is because the App uses WMS-related information about locations and products which is not held within the App.

It is also because some movements performed with the App must be initiated via the WMS, i.e.

  • Picking movements are created from an externally received sales order.
  • Putaway movements are created by a receipt recorded in the WMS (but also by a receipt recorded directly on a handheld device)
  • Transfer movements can be created by the WMS
  • Receipts and transfers (Moves) can both be created directly via the App.
  • Stocktakes are created within the WMS or directly via the App.

In other words, the App has functions that can be initiated via a mobile device as well as movements created by actions made in the WMS which are then ‘scheduled’.

Putaway, picking, transfer and stocktake movements can all be ‘scheduled’. Receipts can be created directly from the App, as can transfers and stocktakes.

Receipts using the App  

As indicated above, a receipt can be recorded either via the WMS or via a mobile device. On completing a receipt, putaway movements can be ‘scheduled’ for completion.

Putaway using the APP

As indicated above, a putaway is usually a ‘scheduled’ movement transferred automatically to the App, and will not appear in the WMS ‘Movements’ option. For receipts created directly in the App via mobile device immediate putaway instructions can be generated for received goods.

Picking using the App

The App enables you to pick orders ‘scheduled’ by the system, which means orders processed to picking stage using functions in the ProSKU WMS. The App receives scheduled movements automatically from the WMS, which do not appear in the WMS ‘Movements’ option.

Transfers using the App

The App allows you to perform ‘scheduled’ transfers (internal movements of stock) which have been created using functions in the ProSKU WMS.  You can also initiate a transfer via a handheld device using the ‘Move’ option.

Adjustments using the App

The App allows you to carry out adjustments to stock using a handheld device. The same operations can be performed as those available in the ProSKU WMS.

Stocktakes using the App

The app allows you to perform stocktakes generated by the ProSKU WMS or directly within the App.
