Inwarding Process

Modified on Sun, 20 Aug, 2023 at 9:33 PM

Once the sales channel catalog is synched, and listing consistency with Omniful Master Catalog is completed, an important step is to receive the “beginning stock” in Omniful system. Normally this would happen following the below steps:

  • By doing the regular inwarding process of the products Gate-entry, GRN till put-away on respective locations in the hub (in case of few items setup)
  • By sharing the beginning inventory list with the Omniful team *keeping in mind batching and serialization need here as applicable * explain briefly 


1. The inwarding process starts as follow, and we will explain each separately
    A. Creating a PO
    B. Create a Gate entry
    C. Create a GRN

    D. Do a Putaway

A. Purchase Order creation


1. Click on Purchases from the left-hand menu, then click on Purchase Order



2. Click on Create Purchase Order



3. Fill out mandatory fields



Note that you can upload SKU via single or bulk upload using the sample pdf file




B. Gate Entry Creation


1. Click on Inventory from the left-hand menu, then click on Gate Entry



2. Click on New Gate Entry



3. Fill out mandatory fields 



NOTE: you can filter by the seller. Also, access the new/old created Gate entry by clicking here





A. GRN Creation 


1. Click on GRN



2. Click on New GRN



3. Choose “Gate Entry Time: if Gate entry is created on the previous step. Then click on proceed

NOTE: 

Gate Entry Time: if Gate entry is created, then you can choose the created gate entry from the dropdown menu

Cartoon barcode: 



4. If you have Pass/Faill bin barcodes already printed, you can simply scan them and go to next step. If not, you need to click on Print New Barcodes, then print the pass/faill barcodes



5. This is where items pass or fail the inspection. First, scan the barcode of the item




6. If this is the first time a GRN created for this SKU, user will be asked if this item part of batch or not

NOTE: 

If the item has an expiry date, user should select “SKU is a part of a Batch” then confirm, if it doesn’t have an expiry date, user should select “SKU is not a part of Batch”. ATTENTION: if selected either option, it cannot be modified later



7. When selecting “SKU is a part of a Batch”, you will have to click on Add Batch, and fill out mandatory fields



8. Next, user will be asked if this barcode is a serialized/Non-serialized barcode

Serialized barcodes: if the item is of a high value and needs to be identified with a unique barcodes. Choosing this option means, during QC, user has to check one by one and can’t just type the number of pass/failed items

9. If the barcode was marked as “Serialized barcodes”, user needs to print the barcodes, in order to go to next step



10. Scan the barcode that you newly obtained as this item has a serialized SKU, then scan the barcode of the pass/failed bin



NOTE: If the item is non-serialized and not part of batch, user will simply scan the barcode of the item, scan the barcode of the pass/fail bin, and enter the number of pass/faill qty.


User can search by the SKU Code or the barcode. Also, user can enter the new/old GRN by clicking here


D. Putaway



Now, item is identified and registered in the system. However, it doesn’t have any inventory shown to be for sale. We need to perform the putaway from the Hub Management application. 


1. Click on Put Away



2. Click on item Put-Away



3. Fill out mandatory fields


4. Insert the number of qty. was entered while doing the GRN. 

NOTE: 

if entered more than what was put in the GRN, system will not accept and an error message will appear




5. Once finished, the following message will appear
