The descriptions of the individual functions can be found below.
WorkIndicator
There are mint green or grey squares at each function call. This is the WorkIndicator. It is meant to help warehouse staff quickly see whether there is currently work in this area or for this team, and how much. The colors mean the following:
- Grey: There is currently nothing to do in this area or for this team
- Green: There is work to be done in this area or for this team

The WorkIndicator is shown at various places in the program to help with the daily work and to make coordination within the team easier.
Structure of the functions
Each warehouse function is divided into several task levels to structure work in the MDE uniformly. As a rule, the functions are structured as follows:
- Level: Process overview
- Workload and work sequence
- Level: Position overview
- Scope of the individual process
- Level: Position processing
- Checking and processing
Example:



There are also further, specialized sub-pages depending on the process, to make the work easier.
