How to Use


Initial Setup

Before the system can be used, ensure you have set the appropriate settings in 1place based on the section above title "Required settings and company preferences".

Once you receive your initial account, the first thing you should do is setup your settings and users, refer to the two sections below to do that.

After users and setting are set, you will need to make sure all of your inventory is in bins/locations in your 1place data.  If it is not already like that, it may be best to do a full inventory count using the Count By Bin screen.  You can find details on that several sections down in a section titled "How to use the  Count Items by Bin Screen"

Adding/Editing User Accounts

Settings -> User Settings
You will see a drop down for selecting a user.  Select the user you want to edit and click "Edit User" or click "Add New User" to add a new one.

User Profile

Admin: Grants full access to restricted screens.  Allows this account to authorize credits
Block Entry of Items Not on PO: If checked, will prevent this particular user account from scanning items that are no on the PO being scanned
Default Warehouse: Default warehouse that will be used whenever warehouse specific functions are being performed
OneSource User: This user's user account in OneSource.  All user accounts must have one for proper tracking.
Access: This is a full list of all the screens in the system.  The user will have access to them if they are checked.

Company Settings

This screen contains company wide settings for the system.
It is located at Settings -> Company Settings

Time Zone: Set to timezone for you company to keep times in sync on various pages and procedures.
Scan Items into Bin Locations: Determines if you are required to scan a location when receiving a PO.  This should
Bin Scanning Sets Item Location Field: Determines if bin counts and bin transfers will adjust the items "default" location field (in addition to its bin)
Inventory Count Sets Item Type to Inventory: Determines if counting an item automatically changes that items type to "Inventory"
User Serial: Determines if you will be prompted to enter serial number when scanning items on various screens
Number of Dashes in Location: Number of dashes the system will expect  to see when scanning a bin/location.  If the scan has a different amount you will receive a warning.
Item Number Used for Custom Credits: Item number used in your system for requesting custom credits.  An item should specifically be setup to handle this to keep things organized.
Default Reason for Custom Credits: Credit requests need a stated reason, this is the default for custom credits.
Prevent Manual Changing of Quantity: Determines if the system will block you from changing quantity manually on various fields via the keyboard.
Allow Damaged Item Inspections: Determines if an item can go through the inspection process and be marked "damaged"
Put Away Returns Default Date Range in Days: Default date range that will be used on the Put Away Returns screen
Picking Default Date Range in Days: Default date range used for picking
Notification Emails: Emails to receive notice.
Remove Remaining Items with No Bin After Count: If checked, after counting a bin any item scanned will have all remaining inventory that is NOT IN A BIN removed.  IE if you have 5 of item X with no bin/location and you do a bin count and put 3 in the bin, the remaining 2 will be entirely removed from your inventory

Setting Picking Order

Settings -> Set Picking Order
Picking order determines the order items are listed on the picking screen.  You can set the order via two different methods, either user specific, or a generic order by bin.   User specific is generally far more useful

Set Pick Order By User

You will select a user, and then setting a beginning bin and ending bin "range" and assigning a priority.  This will set the priority for that entire bin range.
The range does its best to detect every thing intelligently based on the dashes.  If you enter "a1-1" for the beginning and "a1-100" for the end, then bin "a1-25" and "a1-11" will be included, but bin "a1-101" and "a2-100"  will not be. 
Look at the below example:

In this example setup, when user "v5" starts picking, all the items on their list will arrange themselves based on the bin they are in to best match the priority setup.  Items in bin "b25" will show up after items in bin "a1-105".  Any items not matching any bins will be at the bottom.

Click Add Row to start get started.

Set Pick Order By Bin

This ordering method is much stricter and less flexible.  You must directly list all bins you want to set a priority for as opposed to a range.

  1. Enter a bin
  2. Enter the priority
  3. Click Submit

Manage Bins

On this screen you can enter a full list of bins and restrict scanning to ONLY those bins for the entire system. 

This will be active if you list even one bin, so either list every bin you have or do not use this function.

You can manually add bins by typing them in and hitting enter.
Alternatively you can upload a list directly by clicking "Upload List".  This list should just be an excel file with each row being a bin, nothing else.

  2. Click Choose File and browse to the excel file that is just a list of your bins

Before continuing, make sure to setup your status flow for picking in 1place in Settings > Warehouse > Shipping/Receiving.
Your orders must be able to have the status of "To Print & Pick" and the "Next Status" entry must be "Picking"

When an order shows up in the Warehouse > Shipping & Receiving > To Print & Pick section, it is ready to be picked on 1placeWMS
Once picking starts, it will transition to the "Picking" status.

When a user goes to pick, they will be able to select form a variety of options:

  • All Orders: Will give user full item list that they need to pick based on what is assigned
  • By Route: Lists routes that need something picked and the user can select which ones they want to pick
  • Customer Pickup: Lists orders that are marked as Customer Pickup.  User can select which ones to pick
  • Single Order: Lists all orders pending picking.  User selects one to pick
  • Multiple Orders: Lists all orders pending picking.  User can select multiple to pick.
  • Currently Picking: Resumes picking items that the user had previously started but paused.

After selecting which picking method above the user will come to the main picking screen.  This lists all the items that need picking, the bin to pick them from, and the quantity.

  1. Click Start Picking (note: this will not be available or needed if you resumed picking from earlier)
  2. Scan the bin you are picking the item from
  3. Scan the item you are picking

    • You may be prompted to clarify which item it was if multiple are coming form the same bin for separate orders

  5. Click Done

Any orders fully scanned should now progress to the status of "To Dispatch".
