Overview of Sterling Warehouse Management System

The Sterling Warehouse Management System helps you manage operations in mid-sized Finished Goods distribution centers (DCs). Shipments may be shipped to consumers, retailers or distributors, or mom- and pop- stores.

To aid warehouse managers who are responsible for tracking inventory, and inbound, outbound, and other operations in the warehouse, Sterling Warehouse Management System provides the capability to generate many reports. Access to these reports is controlled, based on the group to which the user belongs.

The Sterling Warehouse Management System reports can also be used by enterprise users for tracking inventory across nodes. These reports aid enterprise users in better decision making by providing complete visibility to the inventory across all the nodes.

Sterling Warehouse Management System integrates reports with the Application Console user interface. The dynamic menus of this user interface enable you to access reports from the appropriate consoles. The reports displayed in the menu are based upon your user group. For example, you can view the Order Billing Report and the Shipment Billing Report in your menu only if you belong to the group representing warehouse managers. Data security is maintained in the reports by allowing only users with appropriate permissions to access the information.

Once you navigate to the criteria screen of a specific report, you can enter the criteria for generating the report into the criteria screen. Based upon this criteria, Sterling Warehouse Management System displays the appropriate report.

Sterling Warehouse Management System also enables you to save reports as favorites. These reports are available to you as links in the Favorites area of your Home page. Click the link to a particular report to view the criteria screen for that reports. Click Generate Report to view the report.
