Data flow for the Cheb operation

Pharmaceutical WMS and Warehouse Interfaces

A pharmaceutical WMS is only as reliable as its master data, status logic, interfaces and exception handling. Inter-Pharma defines these requirements for its own warehousing, inventory, picking and dispatch-preparation processes in Cheb. We do not claim to sell proprietary WMS software.

Data exchanged between WMS and ERP

Product and pack master data, batch, expiry, quality status, location, inventory, receipt, order, pick, pack check and dispatch status require a defined system of record.

FEFO, quarantine and release

Allocation, blocked stock, release status, returns and deviations need documented rules. Actual functionality is verified against the selected system and project scope.

Interfaces and ownership

ERP, OMS, PIM, EDI, API or structured files are used only after source, format, frequency, error handling, privacy and approval responsibilities are clear.

Exception matrix and audit trail

Duplicate messages, missing master data, status conflicts, short picks, stock adjustments, interface downtime and temperature or quality holds receive an owner, retry or manual fallback, evidence requirement and escalation time. Access rights and material data changes remain attributable.

Acceptance scenarios before cutover

Testing covers receipt, quarantine and release, FEFO allocation, expiry and batch blocks, picking, pack verification, dispatch, return, recall traceability, stock reconciliation and controlled recovery after an interface failure. Go-live follows documented acceptance rather than a successful happy-path test alone.

Mapping, testing and go-live

The project covers data and process mapping, roles, test cases, inventory reconciliation, cutover, documented acceptance and controlled start-up. No unverified SLA or software capability is promised.

Your project step by step

This is how we structure delivery. Before start, we agree which steps belong to us, the client or a partner.

  1. Define the outsourced scope

    Record current operations, retained and outsourced tasks, locations, volumes, risks and owners. Assign storage, order handling and transport separately.

    Deliverable: A task and responsibility matrix.

  2. Define products and volumes

    Provide goods type, product status, temperature, SKU count, average and peak stock, movements, destinations and preferred start.

    Deliverable: An agreed storage and service profile.

  3. Agree quality and responsibilities

    Together we define acceptance conditions, operator and client roles, authorisation scope, release decisions, deviation routes and required evidence.

    Deliverable: Agreed scope and quality agreement.

  4. Prepare data and interfaces

    Agree item, batch, expiry, stock and order data with your systems. Test formats, validation, status messages and exception handling.

    Deliverable: Accepted data fields and tested interfaces.

  5. Accept the pilot and start operations

    Run an agreed test case through the intended steps. Check data, traceability, handovers and failures; start after documented acceptance.

    Deliverable: Accepted operating scope and confirmed start.

  6. Review performance and deviations

    Compare stock, order status and agreed indicators. Follow deviations, causes, actions and owners through the agreed review cycle.

    Deliverable: Traceable actions and updated planning.

  7. Plan transition and exit

    Include data exports, stock reconciliation, return or handover of goods and open quality matters in the outsourcing model.

    Deliverable: An agreed handover and exit process.

What needs to be agreed before start?

Agree products, tasks, authorised contacts, evidence, data handovers and acceptance criteria. Dates and capacity follow the confirmed scope.

Your challenge deserves a precise solution.
