Tell about the entire data and product flow — how the supply to the warehouse occurs, how data passes through systems?

The data and goods flow during warehouse delivery usually includes several key stages:
-
Receiving goods from the supplier:
- The supplier sends the goods with accompanying documentation (invoices, specifications).
- The goods are received at the warehouse, checked for compliance in quantity and quality.
-
Registering goods in the system:
- Data about the goods (article number, quantity, characteristics) are entered into the warehouse management system (WMS).
- A record of the batch of goods is created with a unique identifier.
-
Placement in the warehouse:
- The goods are placed in designated storage locations.
- Information about the location is updated in the system.
-
Data processing:
- Integration with the ERP system for inventory and financial accounting.
- Automatic updating of stock levels and product availability for sales.
-
Shipping and further operations:
- When an order is placed, the goods are reserved and prepared for shipment.
- Data on the movement of goods is updated in real-time.
Technically, the data passes through several systems:
- Receiving system: scanning and data entry.
- WMS: warehouse management, accounting, and logistics.
- ERP: financial and managerial accounting.
- Integration buses or APIs: for data synchronization between systems.
An example of a simplified flow in Go (pseudocode):
func ReceiveShipment(shipment Shipment) error {
err := ValidateShipment(shipment)
if err != nil {
return err
}
err = RegisterInWMS(shipment)
if err != nil {
return err
}
err = UpdateERP(shipment)
return err
}
Thus, the process of delivery and data processing is a chain of interconnected operations with quality control and synchronization between systems.
