This enables you to view all existing invitations to join your SKUSavvy account, as well as to see the time the employee joined and the last time they have logged in.

From your SKUSavvy top-level account once an employee has been invited and accepted with the assigned permissions this employee can be added to specific warehouses. Once added to a warehouse the employee can now be assigned batches of orders, cycle counts, or packing tasks.

Assign to a Warehouse

To add an employee to a warehouse you'll go into the warehouse you'd like to add them to, and click 'Employees'. This will allow you to assign the employee or remove an employee from that warehouse. Assigning someone to a warehouse ensures they will see the available information for that warehouse such as inventory, orders, batches, or put-away tasks.

• 1) Select a current company employee to add to the warehouse

• 2) Click Add to complete the employee addition

• 3) Current employees listed in the warehouse

• 4) Delete a current employee assigned to the warehouse

• 5) Assign a warehouse manager

Create a Task

SKUSavvy uses a build in task management system on the primary dashboard that an admin or employee with necessary permissions can use to internally direct work within the system. These tasks can be sent directly to an employee as a notification on their account.

1) Name of the task
2) Employee assigned to the task
3) Description of the task
4) Create the task

Tasks Notifications

When a new task is assigned to an employee, they will get a notification of the task where they can view and execute on it.

After an employee has been added to a warehouse, you can assign pick batches to them. This enables the employee to see within their account which batches of orders they need to pick. To do so, go into a warehouse, and click on 'Fulfill Orders', and then select 'Batch Orders' from the table below the existing batches. When batches are created the workload will be distributed equally to all employees that have been assigned to the batch creation.

Example batches with filtering to those assigned

1) Select to view batches assigned to you vs. unassigned and all 
2) Click on a column header to sort the data A-Z, Z-A etc. 
3) Choose which columns to show

1) Select order fulfillments
2) Scroll down to unbatched shipments (open orders)
3) Click on 'Batch Orders'

Select Warehouse > Fulfill Orders > Batch Orders > Assign to Employee(s)

This view enables you to auto-assign the batch(s) created to employees added where SKUSavvy splits batches across employees and gives them a notification.

1) Turn on auto-assignment of order batching
2) Select employees to distribute batches (select just one employee to assign all batches to that employee)
3) View/delete employees assigned to newly created batches

Reassign a Batch

Once batches are made and assigned to employees you can reassign the batch to someone else within the warehouse.

To do so, simply select from the dropdown menu at the top of a batch at any point within the pick process or fulfillment, and select another employee. Note: you will only be able to select an employee who is also assigned to the warehouse.

Initiate a Cycle Count

When creating a cycle count you can select employees to receive a notification of the count assigned to them. To initiate a cycle count go into a warehouse then select inventory > cycle count.

• 1) Select the frequency for your cycle

• 2) Select one or multiple employees to distribute the cycle count bins to

• 3) View/delete employees assigned to the cycle
