A system and method to improve storage efficiency in a warehouse. Storage combinations are assigned a ranking base on the distance from optimal storage. After sorting the data structure base on the ranking a best available storage combination can be identified by iterating the table in a rank order. In one embodiment, the ranking is used to identify candidates for rearrangement. By comparing the best available ranking with the current ranking, greater differences reflect greater benefit of rearrangement.

System and method for efficient storage destination determination in a storage facility

Methods and apparatus provide a delay in posting a confirmation of a warehouse activity in a warehouse having decentralized management. The delay enables a process to be performed with respect to the goods associated with the confirmation. For example, the delay can enable a CRM system to route the goods to fulfill an order for goods. In another example, the delay can enable the performance of a correction to the confirmation of the goods.
