IRMS supports backorder, cross-dock and tie order procedures, flagging backordered, cross-docked, etc. items at receiving and re-routing to get them shipped and out the door or to assembly, as appropriate, without a needless put away operation.

As a rule, Put Away in the IRMS Warehouse Management System is governed by the underlying axiom, "the ground is paid for, but the air is free." The company owns the inventory, but space in the warehouse is the manager's domain. Maintaining that space -- putting the right product, in the right place, at the right time, and for the right cost -- is the manager's goal.

Having been developed by practitioners of the trade, IRMS follows all the expected warehouse management conventions taking into account item-specific routing/zones along with commonsense locating rules (e.g., frozen goods to the freezer area), space utilization rules, auto-calculations of cube, weight, min./max. to determine whether received merchandise will fit in a given location, Task Interleaving, serpentine routing, cross-edits and Replenishment.
Closely integrated with other warehouse processes, such as Receiving and kitting and assembly, IRMS also supports backorder, cross-dock and tie order procedures. The system flags CrossDock/BackOrders, etc. items at receiving and re-routes them to get them shipped and out the door or to assembly, as appropriate, without a needless put away operation.
