When RF terminals are used, barcodes or tags are scanned to confirm transactions in real-time.

Directed tasks are the key to a WMS. Task transactions may be prioritised and automatically queued by SEQOS on RF terminals. This reduces or eliminates the need for supervisors to direct warehouse workflow.

Dissimilar tasks such as putaway and picking can be interleaved in SEQOS. After putting away stock, the RF operator can be instructed to pick stock on the way back to the dock to take more stock for putaway. In large warehouses, this can greatly reduce travel time, save fuel and save wear on fork lifts trucks.

For a non-RF paper-based implementation, the required inventory transactions are printed on worksheets. As each transaction is physically performed, the storeperson writes check digits from the stock location label onto the confirmation worksheet, which is later entered at a workstation terminal. This ensures transaction accuracy. The check digits are randomly generated by SEQOS when the locations are configured, and printed on the location label.
