Generate Product Logistics Sheets

1. Why Product Master Data Matters

Product master data is the foundation of every warehouse operation. It defines how products are received, stored,
picked, handled, labeled, and shipped. When product data is incomplete or inconsistent, operational errors increase
rapidly: wrong labels, incorrect handling, damaged items, picking mistakes, and inefficient space usage.

Small and medium warehouses often struggle with scattered or outdated product lists stored in Excel files or inherited from
old systems. A clean and structured product database solves these issues and becomes a central point of control for
warehouse accuracy and efficiency.

This tool allows you to create, maintain, and export standardized product records in a simple CSV format compatible
with any WMS, ERP, or spreadsheet.

2. What the Product Registration Application Does

  • creates structured product records
  • ensures consistent naming conventions
  • captures product dimensions, units, packaging details
  • provides a clear format for logistics handling
  • exports clean CSV files for system imports
  • supports downstream tools (Logistics Sheets, Location Assignment, CSV Merge)

It is designed to be simple, fast, and perfectly suited for SMEs that need reliable product data without complex software.

3. Why This Tool Is Useful Before WMS Implementation

A WMS is only as good as the product master behind it.
Warehouses should prepare product data before implementing any system:

  • correct units of measure
  • product codes
  • dimensions and weight
  • picking units
  • storage requirements
  • hazardous or fragile indicators

This application gives warehouses a clean, structured starting point — exactly what WMS vendors expect.

4. FAQ

Do I need product dimensions?
Yes — for palletization, volume calculation, and space planning.

How many product attributes should I track?
Only those that are truly relevant for handling and storage.

Is CSV format required?
Yes — it is the standard import method for most WMS/ERP systems.

Can I update products later?
Yes — you can modify and re-export data at any time.

5. Best Practices for Product Master Data

✔ use unique product codes
✔ avoid long or inconsistent naming
✔ maintain accurate units (PC/BOX/PALLET)
✔ record updated dimensions and weight
✔ remove discontinued or duplicate products
✔ review product data twice per year

Good product master data reduces errors everywhere in the warehouse.

6. Usage Flow – How This Tool Works with Others

The recommended workflow:

  1. Create suppliers (Supplier Management Tool)
  2. Register products (this tool)
  3. Generate logistics sheets for each product
  4. Assign products to locations
  5. Merge CSV files if needed
  6. Import into WMS or use in spreadsheets

This creates a complete, cohesive master data ecosystem.

7. Information Included in a Logistics Sheet

A complete logistics sheet typically contains:

  • Product Code and Name
  • Unit of Measure
  • Packaging Type (box, pallet, bag, etc.)
  • Dimensions and Weight
  • Handling Instructions
  • Storage Conditions (temperature, stacking limits)
  • Barcode or Identification Label

Web Application for Creating Logistics Sheet

A lightweight web application- made with the help of ChatGPT – for completing logistics sheets based
on a list of products imported from a CSV file.

Example of a Product Logistics Sheet

For Product A:

  • Code: P001
  • Name: Product A
  • Unit: Box
  • Dimensions: 40×30×20 cm
  • Weight: 5 kg
  • Handling: Fragile, do not stack more than 3 layers
  • Barcode: 123456789

Features

  • Import a .csv file product list (Product Code + Product Name)
  • Select a product from dropdown
  • Fill out a logistic sheet with packaging and pallet details
  • Display all completed sheets in a table
  • Export completed data to a .csv file
  • Warns user before leaving page if sheets are not exported
  • No data saved locally (session is cleared on close the browser)
