Radley's QAD MFG/PRO® RF/Bar Code Data Collection - Shipping The customer's final measure of a vendor’s performance is based on the accurate, on-time shipment of goods. Radley’s Q*ADC Shipping takes the guesswork out of ensuring that your shipments are complete and correct. QAD has several methods by which to ship, and Q*ADC supports them all and provides unique features that can streamline this vital operation. Q*ADC allows shipping automation to follow the process that is necessary to your business. Orders can be picked via FIFO/FEFO, by lot, or by location and picks can be either pick-list printed and/or downloaded directly to the picking terminal. Once a truck’s load is verified, and the shipment is completed, Q*ADC can automatically generate any number of additional transactions using those same verification scans.

Automatically BOL and shipping paperwork can be generated, a transfer to the yard can occur to await carrier, even an ASN release, and all without performing another scan. Q*ADC shipping transactions also integrate with Loftware to generate customer specific shipping labels using QAD Sales Order data. The shipping label is generated automatically from shipping functions, eliminating manual label data entry.

Receiving

The expedient and accurate tracking of receipts is an important control component of a streamlined manufacturing operation. As vendor shipments are received at the dock, the receiving operator scans the bar-coded materials to capture the purchase order number, part numbers, lot/serial numbers and quantities received. If a particular vendor does not apply labels to their materials, receiving labels may be generated at the dock from the QAD database. Or, using Loftware's Internet Printing capability, your vendor can print your receiving labels at their facility and apply them to your orders. All they need is an Internet connection and a local printer to generate labels in seconds. The materials can then be assigned a put-away location by the user, the QAD item default location, or issued directly to the floor. Labels may include standard stock status codes, such as inspection, direct issue, stock and discrepancy. If an incoming part is back-ordered, the operator can immediately issue to a Work Order upon receipt. QAD Purchase Order Receipts are updated, as is QAD Inventory.

MFG/PRO® Cycle Counting and Physical Inventory processes are also automated. The system will generate bar coded item lists, or download cycle count items to the Intermec handheld portable terminal. Users scan the items and enter quantities in the locations identified for counting. MFG/PRO® Inventories may be updated on-line in a radio frequency environment as the counts are performed. Manual tag printing and variance reporting can be eliminated when all transactions are performed on the portable terminal.
