There are important things to consider, whenever you are bar-coding a
warehouse for order/job picking:
1. Set a standard label that the majority of your vendors can provide
(see AIAG - Automotive Industry Action Group for additional information).
2. Create the capability to print-verify receiving labels of purchased
items to be consistent with the above. Zebra might be expensive, yet has the
most comprehensive windows drivers (if that is what you have). Print-Verify
is a nice option. You know what you are printing is working.
3. Finish labeling all warehouses to be consistent with the label
above.
4. Shipping Labels - You might need to find a custom solution since
each customer might have different requirements. We use Report Builder, some
VB fields in the customer (Our Vendor Number, RB report to use, etc.) and in
the Ship Detail line (Container Number, Qty per Container, Weight, etc.),
and a progress procedure that asks how many labels are needed per container.
Misha1 helped us with the programming and customer requirements.
5. Most of the Vantage forms come with barcodes. Installing keyboard
wedges in data collection terminals could save a lot of typing.
Once you set up these, you could move to creating a system for order/job
picking. I have something in place to pick component orders, yet I have many
issues like:
1. Order Release remains open until packing slip is marked "Shipped".
2. Inventory is not released at the moment of picking the part, but
when the packing slip is marked "Shipped". We created a warehouse called
shipping and do part transfers for each part picked....
3. Would like to evaluate the Advance Materials module. It supposed to
work on selecting order releases and place them in a queue. In Customer
Shipment, there is an option in top "Pick Orders..." that you could use if
your picker is using an 800X600 resolution terminal (Wireless - Web enable
if using TS, etc.).
I use Access to control the picking and maintain a history of items picked
(to avoid picking twice the same order release). Also, I use Access to do
the transfers of parts picked to the Shipping Warehouse and working now on
creating packing slips with the same information.
Good Luck!

Subject: [Vantage] Barcoding
I have been given a directive to get the barcoding running for our
shop. I have talked to Epicor and they are of little help. I am
wanting to talk to someone who has implemented barcoding in their
company so I might be able to start off in the right direction. ANY
help would be great!
