Inventory Management

Enhancements to Bin Blocking

Through the app, you can now block bins using the Bin Empty button within the Work Order Picking process. It includes support for the existing Smart Count integration to spot count items and unblock the bins.

For all supported mobile processes, you can add up to two email recipients of bin blocking notifications. You can add them to location records enabled with the Use Warehouse Management setting.

For more information, see Managing Bins Blocked from Order Picking.

New Filters for Bulk Pick Assignment

The Bulk Pick Task Assignment facility enables you to assign pick tasks for items that belong to an item process group or family. From the process groups or families that you create, you can choose one that you set up on one or more item records. For more information, see Assigning Pick Tasks in Bulk.

Autogeneration of Serial Numbers

If you use the Lot Auto Numbering SuiteApp, you can activate the Autogenerate Serial Numbers? rule. It enables generation of serial numbers only when you receive purchase orders or build assemblies for work orders. It includes the serial number details that you set up on item records and enter on the app.

Earliest Availability Popup Window for Kit Items on Sales Orders

On sales orders, you can now access the Earliest Availability popup window for kit items. This feature provides the earliest available date of the kit item, based on the combined availability of its components and the specified allocation strategy.

Default Allocation Strategy on Items

The Default Allocation Strategy field on the item record introduces a refined logic for order fulfillment to help ensure efficient sales order processing. This feature lets you take a granular and flexible allocation approach to prioritize customer-specific and item-specific strategies over a general strategy. This feature ensures that the most relevant allocation strategy is applied to each sales order line.

Lead Time Calculations on Transfer Orders

The new Override Lead Time (In Days) field is now available, so that you can control the expected receipt date calculation on Transfer Orders and Intercompany Transfer Orders. By specifying a custom lead time, you can accurately determine the receipt date and projected inventory availability balance at the receiving location. You can use this feature when cross-location transfer lead times vary due to unique circumstances.
