Warehouses

This page is only visible for Skylogistix local administrator / Skylogistix global administrator roles. A warehouse is a building were products are received and stored prior to distribution to stations or other warehouses. Normally Skylog integrates with the Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) via interfaces to communicate:

• Expected receipts
• Goods receipt
• Delivery orders
• Despatch confirmation
• Stock adjustments
• Stock image

where,

• Warehouse code: It is a short code that can help identifying the location and the service provider. As a standard we define a three letter code associated to the city where warehouse is located, for example in it is a Kuehne + Nagel warehouse located in Melbourne, then the warehouse code would be: MEL for Melbourne, followed by a dash (-) and then KN for Kuehne and Nagel, therefore the code would be MEL-KN.

• Warehouse Description: In the example above, the warehouse description would be Kuehne + Nagel - Melbourne. In case there are multiple warehouses for the same service provider, the description can include the detail of the area the warehouse is located, for example, Kuehne + Nagel - West London.

• Organization site: should be created before setting up the new warehouse, as described in Organization Site. When you click on the arrow, there is a drop down list of all the Organizations sites belonging to Organizations created under as '3rd Party Logistics provider' type and 'Warehouse Operator' category.
