Products that do not have serial or lot numbers are classified as none-type products in PULPO WMS. They are the most common type of product as they do not have an expiration date or a serial number for each product.
To receive products in the warehouse, the product must exist within PULPO WMS. Moreover, a purchase order with a specific delivery date must exist.
Finding the Purchase Order
Go to the Incoming Goods menu item in the Mobile App:
2. Select the CALENDAR tab to filter specific dates and search for the corresponding purchase orders.
3. You can also select the SEARCH ORDER search the for the oder number.
You have options to search by:
order number (can be scanned or typed)
product (can be scanned or typed)
supplier name
4. Swipe an order to the right to display the products, the main information of the selected purchase order and the current status of the order. For this example, the status is "Queue" as the purchase order has not yet been processed.
5. The number of incoming units and the position must be scanned to register the product. In addition, PULPO WMS offers the possibility to add a picture and take a note for documentation purposes. You can leave a reason code, if they are enabled in your system.
Incoming goods can either get ACCEPTED or REJECTED. For accepted products, PULPO WMS automatically creates a movement task onto a storage position. This does not happen for rejected products. For those products, the movement task needs to be created manually.
6. After counting and registering all the accepted and rejected products, the purchase order information will be displayed again and the products that have been completely registered will be coloured grey. After all products from the list have been successfully counted, the task can be finished by pressing the FINISH button.
7. When all purchase orders from the list have been processed, the incoming good task can be finished for that specific date by pressing the back arrow button located at the upper left side of the screen.
💡 PULPO TIP: Notice that successfully finished purchase orders can not be swiped to the right side of the screen and will be greyed out.
Negative Available Quantity Notification
If the available stock for a product is negative, the system will display a warning to help you take the necessary action and place the product in the position that is immediately available to your pickers.
Negative available stock, in simple terms, means that you have more orders for a particular product than you have in stock.
If the available stock for a product is negative, an orange warning icon will appear in the product reception screens. This icon acts as a prompt to notify you about the stock discrepancy, and clicking on it will display more information.
Clicking the warning icon will open an overlay dialogue with important information about the available stock.
This feature ensures that you are alerted to potential stock issues and can take the necessary action—like storing the product in a cross-docking position—to keep your warehouse operations running smoothly.
If a product is sent to inactive it can not be received and will be treated as if it were unknown to PULPO WMS.
