Business value
Deferred put processing will free up mobile devices right away, allowing the user to pick up new tasks. The system will also become resilient to random peak times of put processing—all processing time will be handled by batch servers, allowing warehouse workers to operate without disruption when there is unexpected slow server performance for registration of puts.
Feature details
This is a performance-related feature focused on increasing the productivity of warehouse workers. Instead of requiring online processing of the various inventory updates each time a put is complete, which “freezes” the mobile device, we will allow for that process to be performed asynchronously.
Warehouse workers will experience an increase of performance for all operations requiring a certain number of updates—for example, a put registration of a pick of 10 lines involves 20 inventory updates for the locations involved and 10 source document lines updates. These operations will be automated through batches, and the load of the system will be more balanced. Warehouse workers will not be dependent on sporadic or random peak use of the system.
The feature will be flighted so that we can test it with some customers—we want to understand the impact on various follow-up processes such as the manifesting and printing of shipping documents.
