Warehouse Management

This Wiki is read-only for reference purposes to avoid broken links.

Warehouse management can be very complex, but to describe it in short terms it aims to control the movement and storage of materials within a warehouse.

A system that does this is called a WMS or Warehouse Management System.

Currently Adempiere is not a full featured WMS since it lacks features such as:

• Allocation of material to specific customers. Currently Adempiere ships orders as soon as they fulfill the delivery rule criteria of the order, not considering if there are other earlier but not fulfilled orders that should have had the items shipped. Orders can be starved.
• Negative stock is possible.
• No support for Zones or rule based putaway and picking/allocation.
