Supported warehouse configurations

Online Warehouse Management supports locations with different warehouse configuration. Based on the Warehouse-settings on the Location Card, certain modules will be available when configuring OWM for that location.

The following configurations are supported:

Basic

This is the most simple warehouse setup of Business Central. It works without Bins and the documents sent to the scanner are the basic documents of Purchase- and Sales Orders.

Extended

If you are working with Bins in the Warehouse, the Extended setup is the most simple setup. The Extended setup works with the Order by Order documents of Goods Handling.

Advanced

Advanced setup works with Bins and the full Warehouse functionality of Business Central. The Advanced setup works with the Multiple Orders documents of Goods Handling and also the Warehouse Documents. The Advanced setup works with both Directed and Non-Directed Pick and Put-away. You may choose whether you want to use Use Put-away Worksheet. This function does not change the functionality of your scanners and is purely in Business Central. To prepare the advanced setup, it is recommended to have a consultant.
