Materials in the Warehouse
When an order is received, it will be entered into the Inventory Management System.
The Inventory Management System Specialist will print the Pick List and send it to the Order Picker.
The Order Picker will Pick the Order according to the sheet, sign their name on the bottom, and request that the Material Mover move all items to the Staging Area.
The Sacramento County Inventory Management System is a Quickbooks based system
The Yolo County Inventory Management System is a Microsoft Access based system
There are two ways that an order may be entered, depending upon the computer connectivity available at the Warehouse during the time of operation:
- An order may be faxed, and/ or e-mailed, directly to the Warehouse itself where orders will be entered into the Inventory Management System by the Inventory Management System Specialist.
- Orders may be entered elsewhere; in which case the Inventory Management System Specialist will need only to Print the Pick List from the system (example: the Departmental Operations Center and/or Emergency Operations Center).
Once a Pick List has been printed, this will be given to the Order Picker, who will locate the appropriate items in the Warehouse and work with the Material Mover to get the items placed in the Staging Area. It is very important for the Order Picker to read the Pick List carefully as the list will tell you whether you are picking individual boxes, whole pallets, etc.
After the Order Picker is satisfied that the order has been picked correctly, they will sign their name on the sheet indicating that it is completed and the Pick List will be given to the Loading Dock Unit Leader for verification.
