So most of the operation in the WMS is done by scanning the gun.

An important prerequisite for using the WMS is that the following three modules must be used, as it relies heavily on and extends the capabilities of existing Oracle production applications.

L Oracle Inventory (stock)

L Oracle purchasing[receiving] (sourcing, mainly the receiving function)

L Oracle Order Manager[shipping] (order management, mainly shipping functions)

Oracle WMS provides the following features primarily

Tasks (Task) management

L Use LPNs (Licenseplate Numbers) to track material
