Industry FAQ
Frequently asked questions about WMS for food and beverage
Can a WMS manage best-before dates and batches?
Yes. COGLAS WEB WMS can take best-before dates, batches, block status and movements at goods receipt, stock, picking and shipping into account. Via integrations to ERPs such as SAP, proALPHA, shops and carriers, batch and status data can be exchanged end to end.
What does FEFO mean in a food and beverage warehouse?
FEFO stands for First-Expiry-First-Out. Goods with an earlier expiry date are moved with priority, provided customer and quality rules allow it. In COGLAS WEB WMS, best-before and batch management as well as outbound moves following FEFO or minimum remaining shelf life are configurable as a rule.
Can COGLAS support traceability?
Yes. COGLAS WEB WMS maps batch and status-related processes end to end: from goods receipt through stock and picking to shipping and tracking number back to ERP or shop. Which traceability data is actually needed is clarified in the COGLAS fit-check.
How does a WMS support recalls in a food and beverage warehouse?
COGLAS WEB WMS runs batch, best-before date, movements, block status and shipping reference close to the process, so affected stock can be found faster during a recall. Which recall and audit data is needed is defined together before go-live. Für Lagerleitung, IT und Operations ist das relevant, wenn das Thema operative Lagerprozesse, Systeme und Verantwortlichkeiten im Tagesgeschäft beeinflusst.
What is the difference between FEFO and FIFO in a WMS?
FIFO moves the oldest received goods first. FEFO prioritizes goods with the earliest expiry date. For food and beverage warehouses, FEFO is more important in many processes because minimum shelf life and minimum remaining shelf life directly drive picking, blocks, customer requirements and complaint risk.
