This feature is included in the basic modules of PROLAG WMS.

Benefits

The functions of the order control centre template have been transferred to the delivery order template. The order control centre template has been removed. Search queries that previously led to the order control centre template will now lead to the delivery order template. This change will not affect existing processes or usage. All functionalities have been transferred to the delivery order template and can be executed from there in the future.

 

Description

The reason for this change is a technical dependency of the order control centre template on the delivery order template. By resolving this dependency, all functions of the two templates could be integrated into a single template for the first time, which improves userfriendliness and clarity when releasing and checking delivery orders. All actions, filters, sortings, customized templates, format rules, etc., have been moved to the delivery order template. This has the advantage that delivery orders can now be processed and booked within a single template. In addition, the template can be easily edited or customized directly using the display configurator. As part of this process, the template was also moderately revised so that the delivery items for the delivery orders are displayed in both the table view and the detail view and can also be edited directly in the detail view.

 

Benefits

Updating the integrated libraries fixed several errors, introduced improvements and addressed security vulnerabilities.

 

Description

All external libraries have been updated to the latest version. PROLAG World now uses Java version 25. 

 

Benefits

The readability of the format rules is improved when the dark colour scheme is used in the PROLAG World interface.

 

Description

Several colours have been adjusted to improve overall appearance. In addition to a slight change in the shade of gray used in the menu, the colours for the format rules have been adapted to match the PROLAG World color scheme.

 

Benefits

Users can now access the most important basic functions in standard templates
using keyboard shortcuts, allowing them to work faster and largely without using a mouse.

 

Description

Standard shortcuts have been implemented for key actions such as edit, new, copy, save, delete, discard, change view, multiple selection, refresh and help.

 

 

 

Benefits

Changes resulting from template actions are easier to track.

 

Description

Template actions are logged when performed.

 

Example

An order is released manually. An entry is created in the change protocol including, among other things, the edited delivery order, the action and the user.

This feature is included in the basic modules of PROLAG WMS.
 

Benefits

In the table view, information for all data records can be viewed directly.

 

Description

Users can flexibly configure a calculation function within the table view for any column that displays a number or a truth value, to be shown in the footer of the relevant template. If the column displays data that includes units of quantity, a unit that matches the column's base unit of quantity is selected for display.

 

Benefits 

Enables the use of a proxy server to protect the network, for example, by filtering unwanted content, anonymizing requests and monitoring data traffic.

 

Description

A proxy server can be configured to intercept all HTTP(S) calls sent from PROLAG World and forward them to their actual destination address. The proxy can also block or filter these connections as needed. Additionally, exceptions can be defined that should be reached directly (internal hosts for instance).

 

Benefits 

More flexible use of production capacity.  

 

Description 

Under the current process, the quantity of finished parts delivered from production to goods receipt (finished part purchase order items) must match the quantity of raw materials consumed for the relevant finished part. Using the new underdelivery and overdelivery at the I-point allowed option in the production configuration template, it is now possible to allow for discrepancies between the production quantity and the delivered quantity. For production processes where tolerance quantities in raw materials are common during production, this means that the final weighing and determination of quantities can be performed at goods receipt. 

 

Benefits

Manual transports in automated storage areas that cannot be executed are now blocked in advance with a clear and meaningful error message, reducing the risk of accidentally relocating reserved stock. 

 

Description

The transport load units function has been completely redesigned as regards determining which transports can be executed and providing more informative error messages.

 

Benefits 

A specific serial number can be retrieved from QA via the host system. 

 

Description

The QA release record type has been expanded to allow specific serial numbers to be entered. This means it is now possible to remove a subset of the goods from QA using the interface. Previously, it was only possible to do so if all of the goods had been released. 

 

Example

At goods receipt, 5 pieces of an article for which serial numbers are mandatory are entered in the system on a pallet. They are put into storage with a QA lock. The QA check is performed outside of PROLAG in a third-party system. In this third-party system, each individual piece (meaning each serial number) is checked separately. The result of each individual check is then reported to PROLAG using the record type QA release. 

This function is included in the standard modules of PROLAG WMS.
 

It is now possible to select additional attributes for grouping. You can also search for stock across multiple storage groups simultaneously

This function is included in the standard modules of PROLAG WMS.
 

Benefits

Each time a direct relocation is completed successfully, the new storage location is now displayed in the success message. This allows users to verify that the load unit has been booked to the desired storage location. 

 

Example

Sometimes barcodes are positioned very close to one other, which may lead to the wrong barcode being scanned. To help the user detect such potential errors, the direct relocation process now shows the storage location to which the stock was successfully booked. This reduces the risk of placing a load unit in the wrong storage location. 

This function is included in the standard modules of PROLAG WMS.
 

Benefits

If the user qualification "allow alternative location for putaway and relocation location suggestions in PROLAG Go" is active, the message "Scan or overrule destination location" is now displayed. Users can overrule the suggested location by scanning another valid destination location. 

 

Description

This option controls whether the suggested location for putaway and relocation processes using PROLAG Go can be overridden. During confirmation, the message "Scan or overrule destination location" is displayed. Instead of using the suggested location, users may choose another valid storage location for the load unit. The selected destination must not be blocked, must not belong to a system storage area (such as goods receipt, packing area, meeting point, etc.), and must belong to the picking areas permitted for the mobile device. 

 

Example

The location suggestion for the list is displayed on the mobile device. Since the employee knows that the load unit will need to be retrieved again soon, they select a closer storage location to reduce walking distances. 

This function is included in the standard modules of PROLAG WMS.
 

Benefits

As a function of the load unit type, it is possible to specify whether goods can be swapped in shelves to which this type has been assigned. 

 

Description

The new "goods swapping allowed" attribute in the load unit type controls whether goods swapping is permitted on shelves of this type. Goods swapping is never permitted on load units that are not shelves. For block, drive-in, flow and location shelf load unit types goods swapping is permitted as standard.

If goods swapping is not permitted based on the new attribute, this value overrides the settings for the goods swapping criteria (picking and multi-deep) in the storage area.  

 

Benefits

For cross-LC replenishment, a freight list number is now included in the purchase order. This makes it easier to identify the purchase order at the destination logistics centre.  

 

Description 

When a cross-logistics-centre replenishment is loaded at the source logistics centre, a purchase order is created for the destination logistics centre. If the stock is retrieved at the source logistics centre using a haulier-based retrieval control, the freight list number is included in the purchase order. This makes it easier to identify the purchase order at goods receipt in the destination logistics centre. 

This function is included in the standard modules of PROLAG WMS.
 

Benefits 

Delivered goods can be (partially) reported to the host with minimal effort. 

 

Description

Previously, partial deliveries could only be reported using the goods receipt transport vehicle, and manually creating these transport vehicles was time-consuming. This has now been changed to the simpler DMS number management system. 

This function is included in the standard modules of PROLAG WMS.
 

Benefits 

All entry transactions can be made in the browser. There is no need to switch to a mobile device for mixed SSCC. 

 

Desciption 

Previously, a streamlined process already existed at the PROLAG Go I point that allowed users to process all purchase order items with the same SSCC on a mixed load unit in a single step simply by scanning the SSCC number.

 

Benefits

Incorrect entries regarding the number of document copies to be printed can be intercepted during the early inbound goods inspection.

 

Description

When generating documents using the "print" button in the "check quantity" view during the early inbound goods inspection, the number of printouts to be generated is compared with the safety limit for the maximum allowed number of printouts. If the entered value exceeds the safety limit, an error message is displayed on the mobile device and printing is prevented. The current view is not exited, and after closing the error message, a new value for the number of printouts to be generated can be entered.

 

Benefits 

When processing a scheduled goods receipt (currently in the browser-based I-point), serial numbers for articles requiring serial numbers can now, in certain cases, be applied from the purchase order item to the stock without having to rescan the articles. 

 

Description

If no purchase order type is specified in the purchase order for a scheduled goods receipt, or if the new flag "scan serial numbers when entering complete purchase order item" is not active for the purchase order type entered, then, under certain conditions, the serial numbers for articles requiring serial numbers can be applied from the purchase order item to the stock. The prerequisites are that the purchase order item contains a complete serial number pool and that the entire purchase order quantity is posted in the system as a single goods receipt at the I-point. If the putaway quantity differs from the purchase order quantity, or if it is to be split across multiple load units (for instance due to crossdocking), serial number entry must still be performed manually. If the serial number was applied without manual scanning, this is also displayed in the new field "serial numbers applied automatically" in the serial number history.  

 

Benefits

Direct loading can now be configured individually for each retrieval control. Previously, direct loading could only be configured globally using the configuration file. 

 

Description 

While previously the configuration file was used to make this setting, it is now possible to do so in the retrieval control. 

 

Example

Normally, packing units should be loaded directly once a transport vehicle has been set down. However, with a retrieval control, packing units should always be collected at the staging zone. 

 

Benefits 

All entry transactions can be made in the browser. There is no need to switch to a mobile device for mixed SSCC. 

 

Description 

Previously, a streamlined process already existed at the  PROLAG Go I point that allowed users to process all purchase order items with the same SSCC on a mixed load unit in a single step simply by scanning the SSCC number.
Now, users can also process multiple purchase order items with the same SSCC number on a mixed load unit in a single step using the purchase order item automated entry template in the
browser. 

 

Benefits

Improved transparency of decisions during goods picking. 

 

Description 

The logging for determining goods for picking (evaluation of the picking strategy) has been revised. All related outputs are now written in JSON format to the file "reservation.log". This structured format simplifies automated analysis and also enables more efficient manual review when using a suitable editor.
