What is it, and why do you need it?
What is Zenoheld Inventory for?
Paper count sheets, handwritten delivery notes and "the system says it's in stock, but it isn't" are expensive: sales are lost, excess stock ties up capital, and after a complaint it takes hours to find where a batch went.
Zenoheld Inventory records every movement with its batch and serial number. Picking waves and handhelds run the floor, cycle count differences show up instantly, and reorder points and safety stock are calculated from consumption.
Scope: Runs material stock, goods movements, counting and valuation, together with storage bin, picking, packing and yard operations.

Sub-modules
Zenoheld Inventory: 8 sub-modules
This list is generated from the product itself; it grows as new functions are added to a sub-module. Master data and settings are the shared ground of every module and are not counted as sub-modules.
Goods Movements & Counting
- Inspection LotsCreates quality inspection lots and records results.
- Cycle CountingRuns cycle counts planned by ABC class; compares system and counted quantity by shelf and records the difference with its reason.
- Stock Transfer OrderCreates and ships stock transfer orders between plants. Bulk Branch Replenishment, which plans replenishment from the central warehouse to multiple branches in a single run, allocates the suggestion among branches when material is scarce, and converts the approved plan into a stock transfer order, is a section of the same screen.
- Scrap & LossSets aside spoiled or unhygienic products as scrap waste.
- Goods MovementRecords and lists goods receipt, goods issue and transfer movements. A delivery note PDF/photo can be read with AI and transferred to the goods receipt form (+ New › Fill from Document).
- Physical Inventory DocumentCreates physical inventory count documents and processes the count results.
- Warehouse Material RequestRequests material from the warehouse through a storefront: shows the plant's unrestricted stock with categories and cards, and converts the cart into a cost center reservation. The warehouse issue is performed on the Reservation screen.
- ReservationReserves stock material for production or a project.
- Consignment StockTracks consignment stock owned by the supplier and creates the payable as it is consumed.
- Returnable PackagingTracks the circulation of returnable packaging/pallets: customer and supplier balances, aging and stock movements.
- POS Consumption PipelineDeducts recipe-based stock consumption according to POS sales.
- Material Document ListLists and filters material documents at ROW level; document entry is done on the Goods Movement screen.
Receiving & Internal Movement
- Opening Bin Stock EntryAt go-live, introduces the stock sitting in the warehouse as an opening balance into rack bins; moves it between bins, reserves/blocks it, and reconciles the rack record with the ledger. Does not touch the accounting ledger (valuation/FIFO) — that side is the job of goods receipt and inventory count.
- Inbound Delivery NotificationTracks the delivery arriving at the warehouse (ASN): vehicle arrival, line-item acceptance/rejection, cold chain measurement, and putaway to the rack. The stock record is posted in the Goods Movement screen under Purchasing.
- Transfer OrderCreates and approves transfer orders for goods movements within the warehouse.
- Putaway TasksConverts goods receipt line items into putaway tasks, assigns them to the operator, and obtains their confirmation.
- Bin Replenishment TasksGenerates and tracks rack replenishment tasks from the reserve area as the fixed picking bins empty out. It is DIFFERENT from the Forecast-Based Replenishment Suggestions screen, which generates purchase/transfer suggestions.
- Direct Flow Rules & DecisionsCross-docking rules and decisions: the Rules tab defines for which supplier/customer/material/quantity range direct flow is permitted (auto-apply, require approval, priority); the Decisions tab approves, applies or cancels the decisions that the rules GENERATE from the score matrix — a decision is not opened manually, it is created by the engine via “Evaluate”. The first two links of the cross-docking chain (RULE → DECISION → day plan → task tracking).
Picking & Dispatch
- Warehouse ProductivityReports the actual warehouse performance per operator from transfer order timestamps.
- WavesGroups picking jobs into waves.
- Picking TasksManages the job of picking products from the warehouse for shipment.
- Pack / HUPACKING STATION: boxes the picked products and CREATES the handling unit (HU — carton/pallet) HERE; packing suggestion, bulk handling unit grid, handling unit closing. The shipment-based view is in the «Handling Units» screen.
- Loading & Goods IssueManages the process of loading the packed shipment onto the vehicle.
- Delivery Note / OutputCreates and prints the shipment delivery note.
- RF Picking TerminalGives the picking operator the next most suitable task and obtains its confirmation in the field.
- Handling Unit Licence PlateManages the permanent license plate (SSCC) identities of pallets and crates.
Yard Operations
- Check-inManages vehicles on site in a single list: pre-registration, gate check-in, waiting queue, dock grid; dock assignment, loading, and exit via the Operation Window.
- Dock AppointmentGives vehicles a loading/unloading dock appointment.
- Driver FeedbackCollects driver feedback and complaints.
- Gate Event MonitorTracks the plant's gate vehicle entry and exit records.
- Slot BookingsManages vehicle reservations in the time slot grid generated from the template; a slot that reaches capacity does not accept new reservations. The calendar view shows reservations in the weekly/daily hourly grid.
- Yard MapMonitors the yard on a live map: zone map (zone card, occupancy, last movement — source: gate entry record), trailer location history (dock at ramp, start/finish loading) and gate events · active visits · zone occupancy KPIs.
Inventory Planning
- Buffer ManagementSets up demand-driven (DDMRP) material buffers and calculates red/yellow/green zones; these zones are the order trigger and target thresholds of Replenishment Suggestions.
- Stock ThresholdsManages material × plant reorder point, safety stock and maximum stock thresholds; calculates thresholds from consumption, applies suggestions and takes the material into planning.
- Multi-Echelon InventoryCalculates safety stock in tiers across the distribution centre → store network: a store covers only the transit time, while the centre covers the vendor lead time with pooled variability; compares the result with a single-tier approach and writes it to the plant thresholds.
- Network DesignDesigns the supply network with scenarios: facilities (today's plants and warehouses + candidate locations) and annual demand with cost assumptions are built from the period's outbound deliveries; the solver decides which facilities stay open and which facility serves each customer at the lowest total cost (transport · fixed facility · operating). Scenarios are compared side by side on cost, service level, average distance and CO₂; the map shows assignments and the demand's centre of gravity.
- Forecast-Based Replenishment ProposalsGenerates replenishment suggestions from POS consumption and net position for forecast-planned materials (MRP type VV); the approved suggestion is bridged to a purchase requisition or a stock transfer order. Reorder-point materials (VB/V1/V2) fall under Production ▸ MRP Run.
- Supply Chain AgentsSupply chain agents scan planning data every morning and, when they find a problem, write a proposal with a concrete action: a material whose stock is down to a few days but whose replenishment proposal awaits approval, a purchase order past its delivery date, an order due soon but not confirmed by the supplier, an outbound delivery past its planned date that hasn't shipped, a batch nearing its expiry date. The proposal also lands in the Inbox; when approved a task is opened for the purchasing, stock, logistics or sales team, and when rejected it is closed with a reason. If AI is available, it adds a priority and a short assessment to the proposal.
- MarkdownScans batches nearing their expiry date with a FEFO sell-down projection (Waste Risk) and generates discount proposals from the expected waste and the remaining shelf-life band; transfers an approved proposal into a sales price rule draft (the price never changes on its own).
- Demand SensingCompares short-term actual POS sales against the weekday baseline; highlights critical/attention materials by deviation and traffic light (exception desk).
- Forecast SettingsForecast engine settings: weather and calendar (holiday/event) demand multipliers, school holiday and local event periods, material group taxonomy (semantic groups).
Stock Analysis
- Current StockShows the CURRENT stock of a material broken down by plant, storage location, batch and stock type; its source is the FIFO layers. For a balance as of a cut-off date, use the Stock Balance as of Date screen.
- Stock in Transit AnalysisTracks stock in transit during transfers between plants: its quantity, value and how many days it has been in transit. The Transfer Shipment Tracking section shows the rows together with the transfer order and opens receipt on arrival.
- ABC AnalysisClassifies materials into ABC classes by value and usage frequency; each run is recorded with its period and applied to the materials after review.
- Slow MovingIdentifies slow-moving and non-moving stock; each scan is recorded as a run, and the action (block · discount · return · promotion) is taken from the run.
- Stock BalanceCalculates the stock balance AS OF THE SELECTED CUT-OFF DATE by counting back from material movements; for the current view, use the Current Stock screen.
- Batch TraceabilityShows the trace of a batch/lot from procurement to sale.
- Bin Stock QueryLists stock details broken down by storage bin × batch × stock type in read-only mode; it does not create records, corrections are made on the opening entry screen on the Warehouse side.
- Handling Unit HierarchyShows the nested packaging (HU-in-HU) hierarchy of handling units in a tree.
Period & Valuation
- Invoice VerificationMatches the supplier invoice against the order and goods receipt and verifies it; tracks invoices that end up blocked.
- Goods Receipt / Invoice ReconciliationReports open GR/IR differences between goods receipt and invoice; shows aging buckets by supplier (0-30 · 31-60 · 61-90 · 91+ days) and offsetting documents on the same screen.
- Fiscal PeriodOpens and closes the materials management fiscal period.
- Inventory ValuationFIFO layers, period-end moving average snapshot and stock ledger ↔ accounting reconciliation.
- Material LedgerPeriod-end actual costing run: revalues closing stock from standard to actual cost.
- Price UpdateMarks and releases new standard prices; on release, the stock revaluation journal entry is posted.
Warehousing Services
- Warehousing ContractsContracts with customers whose goods you store: pallet-day, m³-day, goods receipt and goods issue rates and a monthly minimum fee; at month end occupancy and movements are measured and a draft service invoice is issued per contract.
- Storage OccupancyThe space a customer's goods occupy in the warehouse each day: pallets, volume and quantity. Measured automatically overnight; the storage fee is invoiced from these rows.
Master Data master data and settings
- Material MasterDefines material master data with all its views.
- Batch MasterDisplays and updates the master data of existing batches.
- Storage LocationDefines storage locations within the plant (main warehouse · cold room · raw material · vehicle); stock balance is kept on the plant + storage location axis, and a new warehouse is created from here.
- Substitute ProductDefines substitute and alternative products for a material.
- Product TemplatesManages reusable product templates; in request/transfer/count forms, fills in the line items, the par suggestion, and the default account assignment with one click.
- Size AssortmentsDefines a fixed quantity ratio between sizes (assortment / pack); in the matrix entry of document lines it is multiplied by the number of packs to fill in the quantities.
- Material BarcodeAssigns barcodes and EAN numbers to materials.
Warehouse Master Data master data and settings
- WarehouseDefines warehouses with rack management; rack bins and storage locations are linked to a warehouse. Needed only for warehouses where tracking at rack/bin level is required.
- Bin / LocationDefines the rack bins in the warehouse and their capacities; each bin is linked to a warehouse.
- Putaway StrategyDefines the rules for which bins incoming goods will be put into.
- Bin Slotting OptimizationPlaces materials into rack zones by picking velocity and suggests re-slotting. It is DIFFERENT from the value-based ABC Analysis screen.
- Warehouse AutomationAMR fleet, cube storage (AutoStore), pick-to-light and sorter connections: picking tasks in the warehouse types they serve are sent to the system, and when the system finishes, the confirmation is posted automatically under the same rules as an operator confirmation.
- Resources / ForkliftManages warehouse staff and equipment resources.
Yard Master Data master data and settings
- Dock Master DataManages loading docks and their occupancy.
- Slot TemplatesDefines recurring appointment slot templates.
- Zone Master DataDefines the plant's yard zones by code, type and capacity; the zone map and slot templates use these definitions.

Frequently asked
About Zenoheld Inventory
First in, first out — or first expired, first out?
The picking strategy — FIFO, FEFO or minimum remaining shelf life — is chosen per material group and plant. Markdown suggestions are generated for batches nearing their expiry date; prices don't change on their own.
Can we work with handheld terminals?
Yes. Picking, counting and putaway are done on the handheld; screens opened before still open when the connection drops, and sync when it comes back.
In a recall, can we find where each batch went?
The lot traceability screen traces a batch in both directions, from raw material to customer; the recall record in Quality uses this list.
