Enterprise Warehouse Management System

The warehouse management system is designed for managing small, medium and large warehouses. A flexible configuration of the system ensures efficient management of the warehouses with various specialization levels (industrial, grocery, transit ones, etc). Systems support a simultaneous operation of multiple warehouses on one server. System warehouse management is performed by General Manager and managers via Web interface. While configuring a warehouse, Manager can set the following system parameters:

• List of items, attributes and groups for each item
• List of locations, attributes and groups for each location
• Item, location and operator's compatibility
• Rules for placing goods within the warehouse
• List of managers and operators along with the enumeration of available business operations

The system consists of the following functional modules:

• Receiving. It registers goods in accordance with the invoice
• Allocation. Defines a set of cells for storing goods in compliance with Allocation rules
• Movement. Forms requests for goods movement inside the warehouse and controls the implementation of these requests by operators
• Shipment. Re-registers goods according to the shipping list
• Replenishment. Responsible for goods replenishment within the pick-up area
• Defrag. Defrag is a process that reduces items fragmentation in the warehouse
• Inventory. Inventory process performs the stocktaking operation. There are two types of stocktaking operations:
  • Cycle counting
  • Physical inventory
• Reports and Statistics. It provides more than 20 types of reports

Operators perform tasks related to moving the goods using RF terminals.
Basic system specifications are as follows:

• Up to 5 warehouses on one server (the quantity depends on the hardware server performance)
• Up to 30 RFT operators for each warehouse
• Up to 3 managers for each warehouse
• Up to 20000 transactions per day for each warehouse

• management (add, delete) of the list of system printers and their properties
• management of a printing task queue: add, delete, reorder priority, interrupt/resume
• reviewing and storing of the task queue in PDF format
• sending the task queue via e-mail in PDF format
• receiving data for printing in XML format
• forming a document layout on the basis of the rules preset in XSL format
• suspending the printing process
• sending a task copy via e-mail.
• Web interface for printers configuration and printing task management

It is adapted for WebSphere™, Weblogic™, Jboss™, SunOne™ application servers.

Authorization and Authentication System

The given component provides the following services:

• Users administration
• User groups administration
• Administration of a list of rights for business methods implementation.
• Assigning the rights for business methods implementation to user groups
• Quick verification of the rights for business methods implementation by using the embedded algorithm for caching the list of rights

It is adapted for WebSphere™, Weblogic™, Jboss™, SunOne™ application servers.

Database Extension System

The given EJB component enables to dinamically extend statical data structures in the enterprise applications. Extending structures are stored in automatically generated horizontal tables which gives a considerable advantage in performance over standard vertical tables. The component also provides interface for searching and selecting data within the extended data structures. Extended data structures are stored in the repository whose interface provides access for external applications. This enables to set up developed applications according to the needs of the client without any additional costs.
The Database Extension System performs four overall tasks:

• Gather and store the information about generating database tables that will be used as data extensions for standard DB tables.
• Generate the DDL that will create tables in the DB
• Register the new table(s) and respective field(s) in the Repository system in order to enable searching and extracting functionality for the extended data.
• Offer a flexible and dynamic method for displaying and maintaining the new data.

It is adapted for WebSphere™, Weblogic™, Jboss™, SunOne™ application servers.

Workflow Management System

The above EJB component is a simple system that provides an easy and quick automation of business processes' flows within the applications without the need for any programming changes to the enterprise system. The APM allows concatenating different activities in one operational flow that is executed by indicated users (roles).
From the operational point of view, the APM functions are basically divided into three groups:

• Modeling (Build-time). Capability to create the workflow process definition based on concepts of Activity Node and Activity Line. Process definition is accessible to the system from a configuration file in XML format. This file may be developed manually or by means of any XML editor that belongs to a third party.
• Execution (Run-time). The main run-time functions of APM subsystem are:
  • Generation of activity instances according to the rules specified in the process definition and assigning them to appropriate performers.
  • Delivery of the activities to assigned performers; to-do list and to-do list items processing support;
  • Generating and dispatching to Supervisors alert messages about specific events (e.g. an activity completion);
  • Monitoring features: managing to-do lists and reassigning activities to different performers;
• Audit and monitoring. Includes logging and alert messaging capabilities;
• Simulation. System provides the capability to build possible paths of the process execution according to a process definition and display the result graphically.

It is adapted for WebSphere™, Weblogic™, Jboss™, SunOne™ application servers.

Item Management System

The main purpose of the project is to manage the major entity of ERP system. Four components were developed as part of this project:

• Item Basic Dataset
• Entity Configurable Code
• Packaging Unit
• Hierarchical Access to Functional Daatasets

Item Basic Dataset
This subsystem is intended for managing a major ERP system's entity: an item.
This subsystem is based on the use of the subsystems that are defined below.

Entity Configurable Code
This subsystem is intended for setting a unique code in accordance with predefined rules. The rules are specified in XML format and involve specifying the code by parts (elements).
Every code part can consist of several types. Alignment and extra checks can be used for code elements (depending on an element type).

Packaging Unit
The Item Packaging Unit component enables to avoid the need to open different Item codes which are defined for the same item managed with different packaging units. This component is responsible for managing item packaging units and its different conversion factors (which can be fixed, variable or be based on the formula/relation between different Units of Measure defined for Item).
This subsystem is responsible for Unit of Measure management, too.

Hierarchical Access to Functional Dataset
The main purpose of this subsystem is to manage Functional Dataset that represents an extra set of data that correspond to a certain Item.
This subsystem is also intended for searching Functional DataSet on a multicriterion basis. A tree of rules is used for searching. Each new rule is created during the creation of a new instance of Functional DataSet.

It is adapted for WebSphere™, Weblogic™, Jboss™, SunOne™ application servers.

Data Instantiation and Propagation System

The main purpose of the project is an automatic data propagation. Hereunder is a list of major tasks that are solved within the framework of this project:

• java object instantiation: identifying (on the basis of incoming XML) the data of objects whose instances have to be created. An arbitrary object nesting level is permissible.
• java object population: identifying (on the basis of incoming XML) the data of the values of instantiated objects' properties and their installation.
• RPC with instantiated and populated objects (as passed parameters);
• Object's reverse conversion into XML.

Project's specific characteristics:

• the use of JMS Queue for the purpose of obtaining incoming XML data;
• multilevel XSLT-conversion of XML;
• the use of the internal JMS Queue for imitating the operation of Message Driven Bean;
• Obtained data management via Web interface.

It is adapted for WebSphere™, Weblogic™, Jboss™, SunOne™ application servers.
