Introduction
This document is the JB Global POD Note Changes.
Objective
The primary purpose of this document is to document the requirements gathered from JB Global, at the following meetings:
- Initial meeting in Swindon - Demo provided with website data.
- Second meeting at Customer reference site (Brett Martin).
- Third meeting - Pre-Sales Workshop with detailed demo
- The document has been amended with feedback from the customer, culminating in a review meeting on 05/07/2017.
This document has been written in a manner such that it can be approved by non-technical representatives of JB Global whilst also being of sufficient detail to allow the Functional or Technical Specification phase for this area to begin.
Scope and Limitations
This document is based on the documentation provided by JB Global, as well as information gleaned from site visits and workshops with JB Global.
- The changes will be made in the latest version of the CALIDUS ePOD system, operating the Android version of the C-ePOD Client application.
- Changes relating to information passed through to CALIDUS ePOD from external systems (i.e. WMS/ERP) are subject to analysis and design, which may affect the other changes in this document or generate other work if the process described within this document cannot be followed by the external system.
- Modifications are required to the customer systems (WMS/ERP) to achieve the functionality described in this document.
- This document specifies changes for Lot Capture. It must be noted that this is not functionality for Lot Traceability, just the capture of the Lot numbers, to be passed back to the customer's WMS/ERP on Radial Deliveries only. None of the OBS systems included in this implementation will display or search for the captured Lot numbers.
- This document specifies Loading and Unloading being performed by warehouse staff, not the drivers. It must be noted that CALIDUS ePOD is not a replacement for an RF-enabled Warehouse Management/Control system. Existing functionality and creative load building within the customer's systems is being used so that C-ePOD may be used for this purpose, but this is not the primary purpose of the application.
- For Lot traceability, it would normally be expected that this be captured by the WMS/ERP and a unique item label produced for that order, identifying the Lot and Product implicitly. An item label has now been provided as part of the process, but this is not linked to the Lot number by the customer's systems.
Client Requirements
Listed below are the proposed processes that will be followed by the operatives using CALIDUS ePOD. Also shown are the SCRs required for this to be achieved.
