What it does
Descartes Finale manages merchant inventory across warehouses and sales channels, with purchasing, replenishment and barcode warehouse workflows. It connects store and marketplace operations to stock movement and order fulfillment.
Moving stock already on hand can be more useful than placing another supplier order. Finale compares stock, lead time and sales velocity for a destination warehouse. Choose a 30-, 60- or 90-day sales window when considering transfers to a store, an FBA location or a depleted picking area.
Wave picking groups orders by criteria such as carrier, priority or zone. Cart slots keep the orders separate. In the Barcode tab, use Print barcode labels and the label-sequence option to prepare slot identifiers, then select wave picking as the picking mode. Barcode checks flag an unexpected item.
The scanner's PCK Verification setting offers Scan Slot for the wave method. Set that deliberately when matching a picked item to its order's cart position.
