Acctivate Mobile Warehouse Management Software

Acctivate Mobile Warehouse Management Software (WMS) is an application used to perform warehouse management functions from a handheld device running an Android operating system.

Before continuing, please review the System Requirements and perform the Acctivate Mobile Warehouse Management Software installation on your server and handheld device.

Login

Logging into Acctivate on the handheld device is very similar to the desktop. You will be presented with a list of Acctivate companies to login to and be prompted to enter your login credentials. The same login credentials used for the desktop version of Acctivate are used for Acctivate mobile.

  1. On the handheld device, look for the Acctivate icon and tap on it to open Acctivate.
  2. Select the Company (this will default to the last company that logged into).
  3. Enter your User ID and Password.
  4. Tap Login.

Once logged in, you will be taken to the Main screen which provides the following options:

  • Count: Tap the Count button to open a list of Inventory Count session available for counting.
  • Pick: Tap the Pick button to open the list of sales orders to pick or a list of picklists to pick (if Picklists are enabled).
  • Product Info: Tap the Product Info button to open the Product Info screen. Here, you can lookup a product to view information such as inventory quantities, transactions, the locations the product is stocked in, and product notes.
  • Receive: Tap the Receive button to create an Inventory Receipt.
  • Transfer: Tap the Transfer button to open an existing transfer or create a new transfer.
  • Menu: Use the menu icon in the upper left hand corner to access additional options.

Assembly

Using Acctivate Mobile, you can create or open an existing assembly session, split a transaction, and save or post a session.

To get started, after logging into the app, tap Assembly on the main screen.

Create a new assembly session

  1. After opening the Assembly module from the main screen, tap on the Create new assembly session button.
  2. You will select the assembly product to be built.
  3. Optionally, you can change the qty to assemble, warehouse, location, and transaction description.
  4. Click the arrow in the upper right to proceed.
    • If the assembly product is lot or serial controlled, you'll have an opportunity to enter the lot/serial information. This can be entered later.
    • If the assembly product is not lot or serial controlled, you'll be taken the components list.
  5. The assembly product and its components will be displayed. See Components below.

Open an existing assembly session
If open assembly transactions exist, you will see a list of assemblies to choose from. The list includes the session number (and transaction number if more than one transaction exists for a session), assembly product, the transaction date, warehouse and user who created the session. You will also see the workflow status and total assembly quantity to be built. To work with one of these sessions, perform the following steps:

  1. Tap on the session to open it.
  2. The assembly product and its components will be displayed. Tap the pencil icon next to the assembly product to edit the assembly transaction's header details.
  3. See Components below for more information on working with components.

Components
When viewing the assembly session details, you can scan a product barcode or tap on the component to open the details for the component to see information such as the component quantity per assembly unit. From the component details screen you can also change the location (if using warehouse locations), or enter lot/serial numbers (if lot/serial controlled).

To add a new component to a Custom or Process assembly, tap the Product icon in the upper right hand corner.

Save, Post, or Split
From the Submit Assembly screen, you can choose to Save or Post, or split.

  • When Save is selected, tapping the checkmark in the upper right again will save the assembly session so that it can be opened again from the mobile device or desktop.
  • To Post, you must have the Allow posting assemblies from the mobile device option enabled. Simply toggle the Post assembly session slider below the Save option.
  • Use the Split option to split some quantity of the transaction into a new transaction. This allows posting part of the transaction. The quantity in "This Batch" will be split off into a new session.

Count

An Inventory Count session must be created on the desktop version of Acctivate. Once created, you can perform the inventory count using Acctivate Mobile.

Only one user may edit a Count Sheet at a time, so if you plan on having multiple users/devices counting at the same time you should break your count sheet up into Sections by using the Sequence list of the Create Count Sheet window.

Mobile Inventory Counts have a Blind Count option. When the Blind Count option enabled, you will create a count sheet on the desktop, however, when viewing the count sheet on the device the products in the count sheet will not be visible. Instead, the user will enter/scan the products and on hand quantity that have been counted. This ensures an unbiased count process.

  1. After logging into the app, tap Count on the main screen.
  2. Select the Count Sheet of the count sheet you will be counting.
  3. Depending on the whether or not multiple bin locations are enabled, the count sheet will be presented differently.

    • If warehouse locations are enabled, you will see a list of locations to be counted. Select a location to view a list of the products stocked in this location to be counted, unless you are performing a blind count.

      You can also select a location for counting by scanning a location barcode containing the "99" Application Identifier (a Location Barcode Label can be printed from Acctivate).

      When you return to the main screen, the location will have a checkmark in the Counted column to help track which locations you've counted.

    • If warehouse locations are not enabled, you will see a list of products that needs to be counted, unless you are performing a blind count.

  4. To count a product, Scan a product barcode or tap on a product to enter the quantity counted. If the product is lot or serial controlled, you will also need to record the lot/serial number counted. After selecting the product, tap on a Lot/Serial # to enter a quantity or scan a GS1-128 barcode encoded with the Product ID and Lot/Serial number.
  5. Once you've completed the count, tap the checkmark in the upper right hand corner. If any products are uncounted, you will be able to select the option Count Completed. Set the quantities of uncounted lines to zero.
    • When this option is enabled, any uncounted products will have their counted quantities set to zero, which may result in an adjustment of those products.
    • If this option is not enabled, those products will be left uncounted and their on-hand quantity will not be adjusted.
  6. Tap the checkmark one final time to Save the count. Count sessions must be posted from the desktop version of Acctivate.

Pick

Acctivate Mobile for Android allows you to pick sales orders, or, if you have picklist enabled, you can pick picklists.

Tip

It is strongly suggested that each mobile user login with their own login ID.

When logged in, you will be able to see all sales orders and picklists that are Ready to pick, Pick on Hold, or In progress by the user you are logged in as.

The ability for a user to view their "In Progress" sales order or picklist was added to accommodate environments that are prone to dropped connections or incidents of accidental closure of the app.

For example, once you begin picking an order it will move to the "Pick in Progress" status. If you were to accidentally close the app, you could log back in as your user and see the order that is "In Progress" by you; select it and continue picking.

However, Acctivate on Android is very resilient and should resume your progress despite dropped connections or accidental app closures.

Pick sales orders

Before picking sales orders, refer to the mobile order picking options:

  1. After logging into the app, tap Pick on the main screen.
  2. A list of orders available to pick will be displayed. This list can be further filtered by tapping the funnel filter icon in the upper right hand corner:
    • Branch: Tap the Branch filter to see only sales orders of a certain Branch or for all Branches.
      Note

      The Branch will default to the Default Branch in Customer Defaults section of the Configuration Manager.

    • Workflow Status: Mobile picking can only include sales orders which have the following workflow status:
      • Ready, On Hold, In progress: Shows all the sales orders that are Ready to Pick, Pick on Hold, and the sales orders that are In progress by the current user. Sales orders that are in progress by other users are not displayed. See "In progress (By Any User)" below.
      • On hold: Shows all sales orders on hold.
      • In progress: Shows sales orders in progress by the current user.
      • In progress (By Any User): Shows sales orders which are in progress by the current users as well as any other users.
    • Req Date: The requested ship date field will default to the device's system date. Sales orders with a requested ship date on or before this date will be displayed. After modifying your filters, tap the back arrow in the upper left hand corner to return to the list of orders which will refresh. If more orders exist than can be displayed, you will see a Load more button which displays more orders.
  3. To select an order for picking, you can scan a barcoded order number, tap on an order, or type in all of the order number in the "Order Number" field and press enter.
  4. Once you've opened a sales order for picking, the workflow status of the order will automatically update to Pick in Progress.
  5. The Details tab will show the Product ID and the picked quantity out of the total quantity to pick (the scheduled quantity). Below the Product ID you will see the warehouse location (if using warehouse locations).
    • To pick a standard control product (not lot or serial numbered):
      • Scan the product's barcode to increment the quantity by one. Alternatively, tap on the product to select that order line and then use the device's touch screen to type they quantity picked in the Picked field.
      • While on the order line screen ("Line #1 of 5" for example), use the up or down arrows to move to the next or previous line, or go back to view the entire order.
    • To pick a lot or serial control product:
      • Scan a barcode:
        • If the barcode you are scanning is a GS1-128 barcode encoded with the Product ID and Lot/Serial number, the order line will be opened and the lot/serial number will be added.
        • If your barcode only contains the Product ID, scanning the barcode will open the order line. On this screen scan a lot/serial barcode.
          Note

          If scanning a lot/serial barcode for a catch weight product, the Add/Edit Serial/Lot window will open if the barcode does not contain a weight Application Identifier. This allows you to type in the picked weight. After entering the weight, tap the back button.

          Tip

          After a lot/serial number is selected, its attributes will show below the number. The attributes that will be diplayed are:

          • Warehouse locations (if locations are enabled)
          • Reference and/or Specification, designated by an "+R" or "+S" icon, respectively
          • Expiration date
          • Weight (if a catch weight product)

          If any of these need to be changed, tap on the Lot/Serial number to open the Edit window for the number.

        • If you don't have a barcode to scan, tap on the product on the details screen, then tap the "#" button to open the Add/Edit Lot/Serial # screen and select a lot/serial number. This screen allows you to enter the lot/serial #, lot/serial location, quantity Picked, view/edit the lot/serial Expiration, view/edit the lot/serial Reference and Specification information. After selecting a lot/serial number, tap the device's back button or use the back arrow in the upper left hand corner to return to the previous screen. To add another lot/serial number, tap the "#" button again.
      • To delete a selected lot, long press the lot/serial number on the "Line #1 of 5" screen until the Delete button appears.
      • While on the order line screen ("Line #1 of 5" for example), use the up or down arrows to move to the next or previous line, or use the checkmark button in the upper right hand corner to return to the order's Details tab.
  6. On the Pick Order screen, there are two additional tabs:
    • Info: Includes Bill To and Ship To information.
    • Notes: The Notes tab lists all notes found on the Notes tab of the Enter Order window. You can add a note by tapping ADD NOTE.
  7. Once you have completed picking an order or if you want to save your progress (to resume the pick at a later time), you will submit the order by tapping the checkmark in the upper right-hand corner.
  8. On the Submit Order screen, you can choose to put the sales order in a workflow status of Picked or Pick on Hold; see the Mobile Configuration section for more information. Optionally, if mobile printing is configured, you can print a Packing List and address labels.
  9. Tap the arrow in the upper right hand corner to submit the order and you will be returned to the order list.
Note

When submitting a sales order, picked lot/serial quantities will be validated against the lot/serial number's on hand quantity. If the sum of the lot/serial's picked quantity exceeds the lot/serial's on hand quantity, a warning will be displayed. You can return to the sales order to correct the quantities, however the pick can be submitted despite the discrepancy.

Note

The quantity to pick will be displayed in the sales order unit.

    The warehouses will default to the Default Warehouse assigned to the Default Branch in Customer Defaults section of the Configuration Manager. If no warehouse is assigned to the Branch then the first warehouse in the list will be selected.

  3. If multiple bin locations are enabled and you will be scanning bin locations, slide the I will be scanning bin locations slider to the right. This option is used to determine which location field(s) are updated when a location barcode (barcodes with the "99" Application Identifier is scanned).
    • "From" bin location only: When this option is selected, each location barcode scan will update only the From bin location field.
    • "To" bin location only: When this option is selected, each location barcode scan will update only the To bin location field.
    • Both "From" and "To" bin locations: When this option is selected, the first location barcode scan will update the "From" field. Then second location barcode scan will update the "To" location.
  4. Tap the arrow in the upper right.
  5. On the transfer details screen, you can scan a product barcode to add the product.
    • To transfer a standard control product (not lot or serial numbered):
      • Scan the product's barcode to increment the quantity by one. Alternatively, use the lookup or type in a product to add it to the transfer.
      Note

      If locations are enabled, the product's primary location will default. If scanning locations, simply scan the location barcode, otherwise use the touch screen to update the location.

    • To transfer a lot or serial control product:
      • If the barcode you are scanning is a GS1-128 barcode encoded with the Product ID and Lot/Serial number, you can perform a scan on this screen, which will open the Add Lot screen with the lot number added. Optionally, you can scan the location barcode.
      • If your barcode only contains the Product ID, scanning the barcode will open the Add Lot window. On this screen scan a lot/serial barcode.
        • If you don't have a lot/serial barcode to scan, press the "#" button to open the Add/Edit Lot/Serial # screen and lookup a lot/serial number.
        • After selecting a lot/serial number, tap the devices back button or use the back arrow in the upper left hand corner to return to the previous screen.
        • To add another lot/serial number, tap the "#" button again.
      Note

      If multiple locations are enabled, the From Location for lot/serial numbers will default to the primary location if the lot/serial is stocked there, otherwise it will default to the last location the lot/serial was received into. The To Location will default to the primary location of the To Warehouse.

      • To delete a selected lot, long press the lot/serial number on the "Line #1 of 5" screen until the Delete button appears.
  6. On the screen with the transfer details, tap the checkmark in the upper right-hand corner to submit the inventory transfer. If the Allow posting transfers from the mobile device configuration option is enabled you will have a Post Transfer option. If the option is not enabled, then the screen will say "Submit Transfer?" and the transfer session will be saved, but not posted.
Tip

Once a product is on the transfer, each scan will increment that product's transfer quantity.

If multiple locations are enabled and you need to transfer the same product from or to multiple locations, tap the Add Product icon (looks like a product tag with a plus sign next to the product lookup) on the transfer details to add the product as a new row.

The main menu of the Acctivate Mobile for Android app also includes a "hamburger" menu. Access this menu by tapping the three horizontal lines in the upper left hand corner. This menu shows the following information:

  • User: This is the Acctivate user that you are logged into the app as.
  • Company: This is the Acctivate company which you are logged into.
  • Barcode Info: The Barcode info screen allows you to scan a barcode and Acctivate will display the results of the data embedded in the barcode, including any application identifiers. Consider some examples of possible results:
    • Text: Widget This barcode does not contain GS1 Application Identifiers, it only contains text. In this case, the text that is barcoded is simply "Widget"
    • GTIN (01): 123456789 This barcode contains the GS1 Application Identifier (01) which indicates the following text is a GTIN or Product ID. The Product ID in this example is "123456789".
