Assuming that you can open GP transactions and master records for Barcoding such popular extensions, as Warehouse Management System, Consignment, Picking and Packing, Shipping and Receiving, should be available for your Great Plain users, including warehouse workers. Lets review Microsoft Dynamics GP Distribution modules how they could be enabled for Barcoding:1.Sales Order Processing module. In SOP you typically implement WMS functionality component, referred as Order Fulfillment or Allocation. Lets assume that your GP Sales personnel enters phone order manually in SOP Transaction Entry, choosing SOP Type without automatic line allocation (default way allocates items as you enter SOP line, picking inventory item, its default or specific warehouse and quantity, including serial or lot numbers). Second option could be automatic Sales Order integration from your B2B or B2C ecommerce website, or even the third scenario Sales Order is coming to you via EDI (Electronic Document Interchange) interface from your Franchise or Dealership channel. In all the above situations, Sales Order (or Sales Invoice) is available in SOP module for Inventory Allocation or Fulfillment on the Warehouse Floor. Here is what WMS extension does. Barcode scanner has WMS client application running, where when you scan barcode label of the Picking Ticket with Customer ID and Order Number, then the bin and the items in it application talks with WMS Server (RFID, or Wireless connection) which in turn talks to Dynamics GP Company Database via ODBC connection. Here WMS Server is hosted in Windows computer, connected to your Ethernet network or in more budget cases wireless to your GP Server2.Purchase Order Processing module.

On the warehouse floor by barcode scanning you fill PO Receipt lines, adding items to specified warehouse, assigning lot numbers (if item is lot numbered), and specifying quantities3.Inventory Transfers, Adjustments and Cycle Counts.
