Went to Macola ES back in May and having problems with the WMS system. I talked to the developers directly there and it sounds like they are not going to accomidate us. Here are our issues:
One of the issues with WMS in ES that changed (from progression) is now everytime we scan an item it puts it as an individual receiver line even if there was multiple quantity of that item. For example if we have 5 cabinets (that usually come in on multiple trucks) our warehouse workers scan each one individually. When our AP clerk does her AP Voucher Transaction she would have to put it in 5 times (each with a quantitiy of 1). This becomes a problem when there are vouchers with over 100 line items and each line item having 5 to 10 quantity of each.
The second issue is in regards to WMS is carton/pieces. In progression WMS would not read the UOM which apparently was a 'bug' in the old system but was a benefit to us. We often order in by cartons & sell by pieces. So now when the warehouse workers scans to ship he needs to find out what the fraction is of pieces into cartons and put that into the multiplyer field on the scanner. This is becoming time consuming for us. We wish to have an option so this doesn't happen.
Surely we can't be the only company that is having this type of problem. I have not heard from the WMS department since I emailed them asking for any sort of 'work-around'.
