    Creating and setting up WMS warehouses

    Your task/initial situation

    You have decided to use JTL-WMS and would like to transfer your warehouse layout to JTL-WMS.

    Requirements

    • You have already installed JTL-Wawi.
    • You have activated a licence for JTL-WMS in the JTL-Customer Centre.

    General information

    Please note: JTL-WMS can only be used with warehouses of the “WMS warehouse” type. If goods receipt and goods issue take place via JTL-WMS, the goods receipt and shipping process of JTL-Wawi cannot be used at the same time within this warehouse.
    • We recommend a fully equipped packing table for each employee working at the same time.
    • Keep in mind seasonal peaks like Christmas.
    • All shelf locations must be provided with bar codes that can be entered electronically (without exception) if you plan to use JTL-WMS Mobile.
    • The standard code CODE128 can be read easily, is widely used and internationally recognised.
    • To avoid reading errors, the bar code should contain at least 5 alphanumeric characters.
    • Define all intermediate storage locations and create storage locations in JTL-WMS for special cases (in-store location, pallet location, return/clarification location, etc.).
    • Fixed locations for picking and storage trolleys are a good idea and make working more pleasant.
