Hi Softrak Support, Great to hear about the fix. I look forward to receiving the download info in an email.

Hi Andrew, We have always used the Pick Sequence field for more than one warehouse location. An example is that we stock small items in bins for easy picking in section H4. When the bins run low, we restock from master boxes kept in C2. So our pick sequence is H4C2. Sometimes wire and cable takes up several sections so we enter it as B1-7. We've never had it so perfect to have every item on our system in only one section per item.

We have 5000 item codes on our system with 2500 of those with quantites on hand. Whenever we receive product, we update our pick sequence on the system. When a customer places an order, the pick sequence prints on Pick Slips so the product can be easily found. We therefore rely heavily on the pick sequence field being as descriptive and accurate as possible.

I can't think of a report that I've ever printed that I would sort by pick sequence. Occasionally if we're cleaning up a particular section I'll do a search in Inventory of items where the quantity on hand is greater than zero and the pick sequence contains B2.

A little off topic now is that in spite of all of our efforts to organize our product, the system and train our staff, picking errors are still occurring way too often. We have too many similar products with similar model numbers. When we replenish stock the product often comes in with a different model number and we end up with product in stock that is under the same item code and essentially the same item, but with a different model numbers on the box.

I think it may be in our future to integrate a bar code system so we can scan product as it is received, put away and sold. Is there a way to implement a bar code system with our Softrak software?
