Warehouse Planner Workbench

The Warehouse Planner Workbench allows warehouse users to choose how to work with demand orders. The workbench gives users a guided process to decide how they want to work with demand orders: by inventory reservation, by creating new crossdocks, or by marking the order as back-ordered. The workbench makes the warehouse management experience more consistent with NEO design, improves visibility in warehouse operations, and enhances the fulfillment process.

  1. L og in to the ONE system.

  2. Click Menus/Favs > Warehouse Mgmt > Warehouse Planner Workbench.
