Project Highlights
• Serial no tracking of all products (furniture)
• Serial no scanning during receipt and shipment
• The designed logistics process supports a
structure where items form a unit and units form a
set of furniture
• Orders are entered for units or/and sets of
furniture
• Allocation is done against units and/or sets of
furniture
• In case a unit or set can’t be completed during
allocation, the other items are not allocated either

• Shipment can be preplanned based on volume
and shipment can be allocated. The system
automatically detects and sorts all open orders of
the shipment customer and it can allocate for the
total of required volume and create task lists. The
users pick, load and ship these task lists.
• The system allows unit/sets during loading. In
case there are items that can’t be unitized,
shipment is not allowed for departure
• Within the production warehouse, the
production orders flow into the system before
items are produced and as these items are received
from production, the production orders are closed.
• A pallet of items can be picked from its stock
location and the items in the pallet are sorted into
customer shipment locations
• There is narrow-aisle operation in the
warehouses. The system lets the reachtruck
operator know which pallets will be brought down
from stock locations and which pallets will be
replenished to which locations through a custom
screen
• There is flow-through operation in the
warehouses. The items that are received from
production can be directly reserved for orders and
shipped without putaway into stock.
• The integration between LO WMS and Boytaş
SAP includes 10 gateways and runs on SAP's iDoc
files.
- Master data, parties, BOMs (bill of material) flow
into LO from SAP
- The serial numbers are pre-imported from SAP;
in case there is mismatch with serial numbers
during receipt, the system gives error
- Expected receipts flow from SAP
- Receipt confirmation is sent back to SAP after
receipts are completed
- Customer orders flow from SAP
- After picking is completed, shipment and serial
number confirmation is sent back to SAP
- There is a separate service for cancellations
- Returns flow through integration
