What Warehouse Management (WMS) Logic requires
Warehouse Management (WMS) logic must be configured to enforce stringent controls over inventory, operational processes, and system integrity, aligning with governing supply chain regulations and industry best practices. The system mandates First-In, First-Out (FIFO) handling for perishables and First-Expiring, First-Out (FEFO) for goods with expiration dates to prevent spoilage and ensure product safety. Foundational to this control framework is the requirement for complete lot traceability upon receipt, which is further protected by a system-level block on commingling different lots within a single bin location. Physical storage constraints are systematically enforced, validating that location type and dimension matches are correct for stowed goods and that shelf loads do not exceed the 1500 kilogram maximum weight threshold. For operational optimization, velocity codes are subject to a mandatory recalculation every 168 hours, and items must meet a minimum threshold of 50 picks to qualify for a forward picking location. To maintain system governance and auditability, any update to these core logic parameters necessitates a formal change control process. All transactional and configuration changes are captured in immutable audit logs, which must be retained for a period of 3650 days. Access controls are strictly defined, enforcing a separation of duties for inventory adjustments and requiring two-factor authentication for any system override, thereby preserving data integrity and accountability across all warehouse operations.
