Infor Storeroom For Infor Distribution SX.e

Increasing service

Storeroom for Infor™ Distribution SX.e enables you, the distributor, to provide a level of service to your customers that goes beyond the typical distributor-customer relationship. Storeroom gives you the ability to manage your customers’ indirect material and machine supplies by monitoring the warehouse space they have set up for a toolcrib, industrial vending machines, maintenance repairs, and operations inventory.

These managed warehouses typically exist within a customer’s warehouse or manufacturing facility and all invoices, issues, and receipts that are generated for the customer-owned items in the managed warehouse are associated with the assigned customer and/or ship-to.

When an order is generated for a Storeroom-managed warehouse, it differs from a traditional product replenishment request. It is a record of stock being taken from the storeroom, vending machine, or toolcrib, rather than a request for product from a vendor to satisfy an end-customer’s order. Therefore, there are no costs involved in the transaction; the product was acquired and paid for through the customer’s normal replenishment process.

Storeroom provides separate functions that control setups, issues and returns, inventory movement, cycle counting, receiving, tool repair and regrind, and reporting. Within a Storeroom-managed warehouse, inventory can be further tracked and managed by bin location.
