Lot and Allocation Control



M3 Lot and Allocation Control meets the delivery restrictions of a diversified market.


M3 Lot and Allocation Control (WLA) is a complete suite of features and functions that enables the disposal and tracing of inventory balances. You can handle all types of products from simple stockkeeping units to lot-controlled and serialized products.

The allocation of stock is always a complex issue when shortages or delays in delivery occur. When shipments do not meet customer demands, a flexible approach to the question of who should get what and when becomes critical. In many industries, products may also have a limited shelf life. It is vital that customers receive the right product with the correct shelf life.

M3 WLA is configurable and can handle even the most complex situations. Allocation priorities take into consideration conditions such as payment history, credit status and customer loyalty. Built-in fair-share mechanisms can handle shortage situations.

In addition, M3 WLA can handle trade embargoes and other restrictions, as well as particular customer requirements such as quality and shelf life specifications.

All order fulfillment components are embedded with (the WLA) support for manual allocation. For example, entering the batch number is vital in order to get matching dyeing when supplementing products such as wallpaper or textiles.

Lot selection by the picker is another important feature of M3 WLA. An example of this is bulky products, such as high-voltage cable, where the most accessible drum normally is selected.

M3 WLA lets you deliver the right product, with the right quality, to the right customer every time.
