The leading host system manages the actual storage locations for picking and putting operations. Material, inventories, strategies and all other storage activities in connection with location management are managed directly by the host system. During order processing, capacities are virtually activated in order to enable optimal access to shelves and storage locations and control the various storage devices in an optimized way. Other applications such as batching, optimized picking, pick/pack lights, task processing or asynchronous transactions can be utilized too.
Automatic Host Interface The automatic host interface is a general interface allowing the bidirectional transfer of material master data and order-related data with a host system. Data can be transferred by standard text files (ASCII text files), CSV or XML files, database tables (ODBC), or via specific host interfaces such as SAP IDOCs, BaaN - protocols or data loops. Online connection to host is possible. The following functions are available: Material master data synchronization with host, order synchronization with host, action result reporting (booking list export), inventory orders and kit list import.
