Time tracking for picking and packing

Time tracking is used to measure worker efficiency. Picking and packing are important warehouse tasks. Use this feature to analyze worker performance and identify issues slowing down your warehouse processes.

Prerequisites

  • Time tracking is an Advanced WMS feature and requires an add-on to your base subscription.

  • Configure WMS settings:

    • Sale order packing must be set to Manual.

    • Time tracking must be set to Picking, Packing, or Picking and packing.

Time tracking with WMS

Warehouse users using the WMS application first must select a sale order to pick or pack. Time tracking is started automatically when the user starts a picking or packing task. The following data is stored in the session:

  • Quantity of sales orders picked or packed

  • Quantity of SKUs picked or packed

    • Note: Quantity of SKUs, not total quantity of items, is tracked

  • Time spent picking or packing

  • Location

  • User

  • Picking or packing execution date (when Finish pressed for task)

Time tracking data can be analyzed by using the Warehouse Details Report.

Time tracking is stopped whenever the session is interrupted. The user will be able to restore the session at the next log in.

User can pause the session and return to the session later using Suspend and Resume.

Time tracking data for the session will be deleted if pick/pack is canceled.
