A 3PL warehouse will have their own stock control system normally for receiving stock and picking stock

The stock is still owned by your business - so a warehouse will need to be defined in the system, normally with only one or two stock locations.

If their system has an API then the systems will communicate.

  1. Stock Article Definitions (including BOM and Assembly types etc)
  2. Stock Level updates as created by the 3PL company - ie stock receipted and stock shipped
  3. Purchase Orders
  4. Sales Orders
  5. Pick resultsĀ 
  6. Shipped orders

If their system does not have an API then the following will be required

  1. When they receive PO's and count stock into their system
    1. Update the PO in our system (count the stock into the warehouse)
  2. When they do stock counts or send through stock levels
    1. Do a stock count in the system - view if any differences exist and attempt to explain them
  3. Wholesale Orders
    1. When they send through confirmations of wholesale orders picked
      1. Update CON Note numbers on each order
    2. Once ready > tick that all are now ready for pickup
      1. Emails will be sent, stock will be decreased, journals will be written, order will become Despatched
  4. Marketplace Orders
    1. Marketplace orders label printing will REQUIRE the 3PL to use the scanning screen to print the labels
