These reports provide a building block of The PRO-MAIL Fulfillment Solution. Read on to see how reporting capabilities in The PRO-MAIL Fulfillment Solution can work for you!
System Relationship

In order to understand the different reports and emails, it is necessary to take a moment to review the systems that comprise The PRO-MAIL Fulfillment Solution. There are four components of The PRO-MAIL Fulfillment Solution. They include the PRO-MAIL Administration System (PMA), the Order Management System (OMS), the Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Project Management (see diagram on p. 5). The PRO-MAIL Administration System (PMA) is used for database administration. The database administrator uses this system to assign users and user classes. The PRO-MAIL Administration System (PMA) displays key system information. The Order Management System (OMS) provides a solution for front end order processing and web order entry. Each client has their own unique OMS. The OMS allows you to define multiple web order entry screens to meet a variety of different client needs, such as, dealers, sales representatives, consumers etc. The OMS has many additional functions, such as, kit assembly and product/version control, order limitation, response tracking etc. The Warehouse Management System (WMS) controls and manages all warehouse activities. One WMS handles incoming requests from the OMS and Project Management. Receives Incoming Inventory Accepts and Processes Incoming Requests

Helps to Manage Production (Pick/Pack/Staging) Links to Third Party Shipping Carriers

One warehouse stores products for all Order Management Systems (OMS) and Project Management Systems. It provides quality assurance controls for the warehouse. The Project Management System is geared toward direct marketers. It allows for tracking and shipping of direct mailings and large production projects. It is worth noting that Project Management can be configured to share inventory with the Order Management System since both share a common warehouse. This allows easier inventory management. For example, your warehouse may start to provide fulfillment solutions for a client that before only used your services for mail projects. The same inventory is available for both projects and fulfillment needs in cases when the same inventory is used for both mail and fulfillment projects. The chart below provides a basic outline of the function of each of these systems.

Now that you have a basic understanding of The PRO-MAIL Fulfillment Solution, lets look at its valuable reporting capabilities.

Expected Arrivals
When account representatives know a specific product will be delivered to the warehouse, they can enter an Expected Arrival Notice in the OMS or in Project Management. This information is messaged to the WMS. The Expected amount is d isplayed in the Product Inquiry screen in both the OMS and WMS. Additionally, receivers in the warehouse can query the system to determine when products are expected to arrive.

The Product Summary Report


Description The Product Summary Report, which can b e found in the OMS, displays expected quantities for all products. Each product is displayed by Product Type and is sorted by Product Levels that you define.

Unit Placards
Description The Unit Placard is a document that follows the product from the loading dock to the storage location. The Unit Placard is an identifier that is affixed to the unit at receiving time. The Unit Placard is intended to accompany the unit throughout its life in the warehouse. It contains important information such as the Product ID and its description and the location where it is stored. Most importantly, it contains the unique Unit ID that is assigned to every inventory receipt. This Unit ID is used for pulling inventory off the shelf. Since products often look alike, the Unit ID is quickly used to identify products. Under certain circumstances, such as, when moving or consolidating inventory, the WMS reprints a Unit Placard.

Kit Build Request


A kit is a product (SKU in the warehouse) that is assembled from other products. Kit requests may be generated three ways. First, kit requests may be generated as kits are needed for orders. This works on the premise of just-in-time inventory. Second, kit requests can be generated in the warehouse due to pre-set, pre-defined build requests. This is done for an anticipated demand of kits. Lastly, kit requests can be manually requested in the OMS. This may be requested by an account representative. Because a kits components may change over time, flexibility is built into the OMS to accommodate and track these changes.

Kit Assembly Request


Description A Kit Assembly Request, which produces an Assembly Manifest form, is printed in the warehouse. Its purpose is to show that a request to build a kit has been made. An Assembly Manifest form tells the assembler how many pieces are needed for each product and gives them instructions by line item on how to assemble the kit. In addition to comments by component, there is the ability to have overall assembly comments print on this form. Information in this report includes: Barcode (Unique Transaction Identifier) Date and Time of Request Date and Time Printed Job Owner of Inventory Building Where Inventory is Located Product Unique ID Product ID Product Description Product Version Quantity to Build Comments entered from Offer and Assembly Request Unit Id From Which to Pull Inventory Location From Which to Pull Inventory Number of Containers to Pull Type of Container Loose Pieces to Pull Total Pieces Comments by Line Assembly Procedures Item Describing

Fill Staging
Many Fulfillment operations utilize Staging areas, also referred to as Quick Pick areas, to house frequently used material for Pick and Pack Orders. In this scenario, inventory is pulled from the Warehouse bulk storage area and then transferred to a designated Staging Area. The Staging Area is used to store items that are frequently picked for fulfillment orders. The warehouse manager can define quantity levels for staged items.

Staging Manifest
Description The purpose of a Staging Manifest is to pull from bulk warehouse locations to replenish staging bins. The Staging Manifest provides important information to help you manage your operation. It instructs the material handler on what products to pull, what locations to pull from and in which order (walk sequence).

Packing/Shipping
Once an order has been picked it is ready to be packed and shipped. The WMS provides the ability to track the packing of orders. This may be executed using one of two options: track packaging and track contents of each package. Track packaging provides the ability to track package type. Tracking the contents of each package allows for the ability of products in packages to be tracked per package. When electing to use these features, Package Labels and a Packing List will need to be printed before shipping orders.

Replenishment Points
A Replenishment Point is trigger point where you are notified it is time to reorder. The Target Amount is the quantity you want to achieve as a result of reordering products in the warehouse. Replenishment Point levels can be set for products and kits in the Order Management System (OMS). When a product reaches or falls below this quantity, the OMS sends an email notification to the account representative. This email notifies them that a particular product has reached or fallen below its replenishment point. Account representatives like the replenishment point email feature of The PRO-MAIL Fulfillment Solution because it makes it easier for them to keep up-to-date on products that are running low in the warehouse.
