PLATFORM OVERVIEW

• Internet Based WMS• Written in JAVA• Housed on Linux Server• Utilizes MYSQL Database• To date 99.9% up time (only taken down for

periodic maintenance)

System Hierarchy

• Terminology• Company – Level Users: Users whose job functions may require

them to make company-wide changes to your system, such as changing the look and feel of your Boxcar Central website. You may only have one user who will have access at this level, since few employees are apt to have a need to make changes at the company level.

• System Administrator: The System Administrator maintains your corporate database and user access to it. This is the most powerful access available within your Boxcar Central WMS, so you should give careful consideration to the question of who will serve as your System Administrator and whether you will designate a second S.A. as a backup for the primary S.A.

• Customer Administrator: A Customer Administrator can be designated for each of your customers, performing system-level tasks (such as user access, passwords, etc.) within their own account. Your System Administrator can create a Customer Administrator for any or all of your customers.

System Hierarchy• Terminology Continued• Distribution Center (DC) Users: Users whose job functions

are directly involved with your warehouse operations. This group of users may be one of your largest, as numerous operations employees may have a need to perform the functions allowed at this access level – for instance, setting up a new branch location, editing an existing branch location, setting up a new customer account, and similar operations tasks.

• Client-Level Users: Users who are your customer’s customers. If your customers desire, their own customers can gain access to information such as pricing, available stock, and pending orders. Administratively, access at this level is probably best handled by a Customer Administrator (see definition below).

• Customer-Level Users: Users who are your direct customers. Your customers will be able to perform a variety of tasks on their own account, including placing new orders or checking the status of existing orders, performing queries of stock on-hand, and other routine tasks.

Distribution Center Set Up

• Company Level User • Position your pointer on “System Setup” and use the

pull-down menu to locate “DCs.” Click on it to open it.• Users at this level are considered to be the people

actually operating the distribution center. System Administrators can be assigned at this level to control access among other DC level users.

• The user will be taken to the “View DCs” screen, where any defined branches (those already in the database) are visible. Click on the “Add DC” bar to add a new branch to the database.

Distribution Center Set Up

• Enter Set Up Data

Customer Set Up•Customer Set Up

•Position your pointer on “System Setup” and use the pull-down menu to locate “Customers.” Click on it to open it

•Users at this level are your direct customers. Either the company or a branch administrator should grant system access to the customer administrator. An access questionnaire should be developed jointly with your customer to evaluate user access needs prior to granting access. Customers can be added and deleted in a way similar to that used to add or delete branches. By selecting and clicking on the Add Customer button, updates to the customer database are performed. See Table 4 for data field descriptions.

Product Set Up

• Position your pointer on “WMS.” Use the pull-down menu to locate “Inventory,” then “Product Maintenance.” Click on it to open it.

• After bins are created and configured properly, product ID information must then be entered. This process can be performed either manually (one product at a time) or by upload during system implementation. The manual process is as follows:

Product Set Up

Product Set Up • From the “View Product” screen, click on “Add Product.”

• From the “Add Product” screen, enter the “Product ID Number”, “Alt Product Id” is optional and “Brief Description” (Mandatory Fields); “Full Description” is optional.

• Use the pull-down menu to select the appropriate “Customer ID” (Mandatory Field) that was entered into your database during system set-up.

• Use the pull-down menu and select a product status (“Active,” “Discontinued,” or “Marked for Deletion”). This field is also mandatory.

• Next, select “Manufacturer ID” and from that pull-down menu, choose a manufacturer of the item from data previously entered (during system setup).

Product Set Up

• The next five fields are mandatory; they are used to describe the physical characteristics of the product: “Packaging” is selected from a pull-down menu (“each,” “case,” “pallet,” etc.); then, enter “Height,” “Width,” “Depth,” and “Weight.”

• Tip: If you are using weight as your base unit of measure, set the product weight to 1, and the base package level to 1. Then all quantities will be reflected as the actual weight on hand.

• If the unit of measure is “each,” you must then enter how many of the units make up a case and how many make up a pallet load (i.e. eaches to case, 20:1). If the packaging levels have no correlation, then the units can be 1:1. These package definitions are defined on the customer options maintenance screen.

Product Set Up • Indicate whether the item is “Lot Controlled” by

clicking on the appropriate button. Finally, you can designate an item as “expiration date sensitive” or “mixed product” by checking the appropriate box.

• If using a Control Number (sub-lot) specify if it is required and whether or not it should be unique (such as a serial number).

BillingOverview:• The billing module allows for charging your customers for

services and storage. Handling codes are used to charge for services – these can be created to monitor specific activity trace transactions such as Receiving, Picking or Cycle Counts.

• Handling codes can also be used to set up miscellaneous charges that are not recorded by the system – shrink-wrapping, printing, faxing, etc.

• Storage charges are divided up into two types – receipt storage and anniversary storage billing. Receipt Storage charging is done when product is received into the warehouse. Anniversary Storage charges occur on a periodic or anniversary basis – I.e. monthly storage charges for product currently in the warehouse.

BillingOverview:• Billing allows flexibility in configuration of charges.

• Initially, the user sets up generic billing codes for each of the three main types of billing codes – Anniversary, Receipt Storage and Handling. Once this is done, the customers can be configured.

• Rate Schedules are created that allow the user to associate billing codes with customer products. These will be used to create the billing cycles. Each billing code added to a rate schedule can be further configured for the customer.

BillingOverview:• Billing cycles are the final piece of the Billing Module.

These are created to bill customers based on their rate schedules.

• The user can bill for all three or any combination of the three types of billing.

• Once created, the counts from the system for the various transactions and storage are retrieved and also allow for the user to enter custom counts for the miscellaneous handling codes.

• After closing the billing cycle, the user can print an invoice or have an email sent to them with exported billing cycle data.

BillingTerms:• Billing Cycles: Whenever it is time to bill your customer for services

or storage, a billing cycle needs to be created. You can bill for any or all three billing types. Based on this and what is defined for the rate schedules for the customer, the billing cycle is created. With this information, the system is polled for quantity/count information so that the customer can be billed for the month’s activity. When the billing cycle is closed, an invoice can be printed and an export can be created.

• Rate Schedules: These allow the user to bind billing codes and products for a customer. These are used by the billing cycles when a customer is billed.

• Anniversary Codes: These billing charges are for storage of product on a cyclical basis.

• Handling Codes: These can be of two types – transaction or miscellaneous charges. The transaction charges will be based on activity that is occurring in the warehouse. I.e. for receiving pallets from a container. Miscellaneous charges are generic charges, not monitored by the system, that are charged to the customer in the billing cycle.

BillingTerms:• Receipt Storage Codes: These billing charges will be

for storage during the month that the product was received into the warehouse. I.e. Product received on or before the 15th will be charged full month storage, product received after the 15th will be charged ½ months storage.

• Grace Period Exceeded: This displays billing cycles that have passed their Grace Period (defined in Rate Schedules)

• Billing Report: Print summary and detail reports for billing by branch and customer.

• Miscellaneous Billing Entry: Enter billing codes on the fly for activities such as one time support charges, labor charges, FAX charges, etc…
