Simulation
QAD Warehousing provides functions that let you test your algorithm assignments without altering inventory records:
• Put Away/Loc Find Simulation (4.6.13) lets you simulate the put-away of some received inventory
• Picking Simulation (4.6.15) lets you simulate picking of inventory from your existing locations.
• Lane Assignment Simulation (4.6.17) lets you simulate lane algorithm assignments without actually modifying the inventory records in your database.
• Container Move Simulation (4.6.19) lets you test your CM type algorithms without actually modifying the inventory records in your database. The system displays or reports suitable stage, truck, and dock locations, including empty locations, locations with the least goods, and locations that already contain stock for an SO shipper or DO ship-to code.
In each case, the system displays or reports on the locations that would have been used if the simulation had been carried out as a real receipt or pick.
