What's in Infor CloudSuite warehouse management
The warehouse management scope Infor CloudSuite ships, grouped as the product itself organises it.
Managing Inventory9
Groups the tools for setting up and maintaining stock records, including non-inventory items, warehouses, units of measure, lot and serial tracking, portal catalogs, cycle counts, and physical inventory counts.
- About Cycle CountsCounts a subset of inventory items periodically, rather than the entire warehouse at once, and posts the results to keep on-hand records accurate.
- Doing a Cycle CountPerforms a count limited to a single flagged item or a related set of items rather than the whole warehouse.
- About Posting Cycle Count QuantitiesPosts the results of a completed cycle count to update on-hand quantities.
- About Physical InventoriesRuns a full manual count of all inventory in a warehouse or location and reconciles it against the system's on-hand book quantities.
- Performing a Physical InventoryManually counts all inventory for a chosen warehouse or location and records the resulting figures.
- About Cycle CountsCounts a subset of inventory items periodically, rather than the entire warehouse at once, and posts the results to keep on-hand records accurate.

- Performing a Physical InventoryManually counts all inventory for a chosen warehouse or location and records the resulting figures.
- Freezing/Unfreezing InventoryLocks inventory to a freeze status during a physical count so items stay unavailable for transactions until the count finishes.
- Example: End Tag NumberIllustrates how an end tag number is assigned during a physical inventory count.
- Posting Physical Inventory QuantitiesPosts counted quantities from a physical inventory to update on-hand records and create related journal entries.
- Calculations for Rebalancing Item Quantity Allocated to Production and WIPSynchronizes figures for quantity committed to manufacturing and work-in-process after a database utility upload leaves them out of balance.

Build my requirements →What Infor CloudSuite WMS covers
Infor WMS is the warehouse management system within the Infor CloudSuite platform, managing warehouse operations end-to-end from receiving and put-away through picking, packing and shipping, alongside inventory visibility, labour management and third-party logistics (3PL) billing. It has a strong heritage in warehouse management and is available both as a module embedded within Infor CloudSuite and as a standalone WMS that integrates with other ERP platforms. The solution runs on AWS via Infor OS and integrates with Infor's wider supply chain portfolio, including transportation management, supply chain planning and demand management.
Embedded in CloudSuite
WMS included as part of Infor CloudSuite (Distribution, Food & Beverage and other industry suites), for Infor ERP customers wanting a unified platform.
Standalone WMS
An independent WMS deployment that integrates with any ERP, for organisations with complex warehouse needs running a non-Infor ERP.
Cloud (SaaS)
Multi-tenant deployment on AWS, suited to new deployments wanting lower IT overhead.
Single-tenant cloud
A dedicated instance for organisations with specific compliance or customisation needs.
Infor WMS vs Manhattan Associates, Blue Yonder and SAP EWM
Infor WMS is a strong, competitively priced WMS rather than the best-of-breed choice in any single dimension; the right fit depends on how central warehouse management is to the buyer's strategy and which ERP they already run.
Manhattan Associates
Manhattan Active Warehouse Management is widely regarded as the best-of-breed WMS in the market. If warehouse management is the primary strategic differentiator and budget allows, Manhattan is typically the stronger choice; Infor WMS is competitive for organisations wanting strong WMS tightly integrated with their ERP at a lower total cost of ownership.
Blue Yonder WMS
Blue Yonder offers strong WMS capabilities, particularly in retail and consumer goods. Infor WMS tends to be stronger for manufacturing and process-industry warehouse environments, so the decision often comes down to industry fit and the existing technology ecosystem.
SAP EWM
SAP Extended Warehouse Management is the natural choice for SAP ERP customers. Infor WMS is generally considered more capable as a standalone WMS, but SAP EWM's integration with S/4HANA is tighter for organisations fully committed to the SAP ecosystem.
ERP integration approach
Infor WMS integrates natively with Infor CloudSuite, while Manhattan Active WM and Blue Yonder WMS typically require middleware to connect to a separate ERP.
Infor WMS integration with Infor supply chain modules
Infor WMS integrates natively with the rest of Infor's supply chain portfolio, without middleware, because everything runs on the same Infor OS platform.
Infor TMS
Transportation management for carrier selection, routing and freight management, connected directly to warehouse dispatch.
Infor Supply Chain Planning
Demand and supply planning that feeds directly into warehouse workload forecasts.
Infor Nexus
A multi-enterprise supply chain network for supplier collaboration.
Infor CloudSuite ERP
Order management, procurement, manufacturing and financials, integrated as part of the same CloudSuite platform as the WMS.
Industry fit for Infor CloudSuite WMS
Manufacturing
Raw material receiving and staging for production, finished goods warehousing and order fulfilment, plus WIP tracking and kanban replenishment.
Distribution and wholesale
High-volume order fulfilment, cross-docking and flow-through distribution, and multi-channel fulfilment across B2B, B2C and marketplace orders.
Third-party logistics (3PL)
Multi-client warehouse operations with activity-based billing, SLA management, and client-specific workflows and configurations.
Food and beverage
Temperature-controlled inventory management, FEFO picking enforcement, lot traceability and recall management, and FDA and FSMA compliance.
Who should consider Infor CloudSuite WMS
Infor WMS is a good fit for Infor CloudSuite customers wanting integrated ERP and WMS, manufacturing and distribution companies with complex warehouse operations, 3PL providers needing multi-client billing and management, and organisations seeking a capable WMS at a competitive total cost of ownership.
It is worth considering alternatives if warehouse management is the primary competitive differentiator (evaluate Manhattan Associates), if the business is a large retailer with complex omnichannel fulfilment (evaluate Manhattan or Blue Yonder), or if the organisation is fully committed to SAP and wants native integration (evaluate SAP EWM).

Infor CloudSuite Warehouse Management FAQ
Is warehouse operations a separate WMS from inventory, or the same underlying system?
Same underlying data — warehouse operations (picking, packing, and shipping via transfer orders) shares the item, lot, and cost data used by inventory management, so a pick doesn't need to be re-entered as a separate stock transaction.
Can multi-site transfer orders move stock between plants automatically?
Yes — working with multi-site transfer orders, including receiving and shipping them, is a core capability, which fits CloudSuite's large-enterprise, multi-plant customer base moving materials between manufacturing locations.
Are returns and replacements processed through the warehouse module?
Yes — processing returns and replacements is handled with extended disposition options (restock, scrap, repair), keeping returned-goods handling within the same transactional system as outbound shipping.
Is warehouse operations as strong as CloudSuite's other supply chain capabilities?
It's a smaller capability area relative to stock management and planning, which suggests CloudSuite's execution-layer WMS functionality (directed picking, slotting) is lighter than its inventory and planning depth — worth validating against your specific throughput needs during evaluation.
