• Warehouse
  Automation.  When you are looking
  for warehouse management automation – you should research supply chain
  management applications available on the market.  Usually they are expensive
  and targeted to large logistics clients.  You can use Microsoft Great Plains
  inventory module features, such as locations or sites, serial/lot number
  tracking, inventory count, inventory transfers and combine these with simple
  VB-based barcoding to feed documents from your barcode scanners to Great
  Plains directly.


• Random Weight. 
  Food distribution – you might be purchasing food in cases or other variable
  weight units and resell them in pounds or kilograms to end customer.  So – you
  need parallel quantities tracking with probably serial numbering for each
  case.  This is typical customization for Inventory, Sales Order Processing
  (SOP) and Purchase Order Processing (POP) modules in Great Plains.  It should
  be done in Great Plains Dexterity to provide seamless interface for GP users. 
  In addition to parallel weight measures (cases and pounds) you may also need
  average weight control to prevent issues with your warehouse workers
  


• Recurring Customer
  Orders.  You may figure out that
  majority of your customers order the same items each time with regular
  intervals.  In this case you can have customer typical order screen to
  automate order taking.  Plus – you may have associated and replacement items
  logic incorporated in this screen.


• Automated Shipments. 
  If you sell on consignment – you may simply send trucks to your customers
  every day with recommended combination of items, based on historical data –
  day of the week, holidays, seasonal variations, etc.  And barcode could help
  you in automatic picking ticket printing and allocation
