Inventory Management

Renaming of the WMS Limited Access Role

The WMS Limited Access role will be renamed to Specialized User - WMS. Within the NetSuite UI, all references to the role will be renamed.

The name change will not affect custom roles that you have created based on the standard role.

For availability and more information about this role, see Warehouse Management Roles and Permissions.

Cycle Counts Updates

The new Generate from Plan mobile process enables you to create inventory counts from a cycle count plan on the app. For each plan, you can create counts for up to ten items at a time.

To further enhance cycle counting on the app, you can activate the Start and complete counts on app rule. After you generate and release inventory counts, you can start them to make them available to counters. When they process and complete the cycle counts, the app automatically submits them for approval.

Scheduling Bin Replenishment

You can create and run schedules for bin replenishment on the NetSuite UI. When you create a schedule, you can specify the frequency, start time, and end time. You can receive notifications for successful or failed runs. Bin replenishment tasks generated from a schedule become available for processing on the app. For more information, see Replenishment.

Lot Autonumbering for Work Order Assembly

The Autogenerate Lot Numbers? rule now enables you to generate lot numbers within the Build Assembly mobile process for work orders. When you enable autonumbering for a lot item, you can generate lot numbers during assembly build processing on the app.

Bar Code Scanning for Bulk Serial Numbers

The Scan bar codes with bulk serial numbers? rule enables you to scan an item bar code with up to 50 serial numbers. When you receive a purchase order, you can scan the serialized item bar code without entering or scanning each serial number. On the associated item receipt, you can review the serial numbers of a received item.

Changing Bins During Order Picking

For all the sales or transfer order picking flows, you can pick partial quantities of an item from different bins. You can enter the quantity to pick from the first bin, and then tap Other Bin to choose another bin to pick from. For more information, see Picking Orders.

Remove a Supply Order from the Repository

To fix transaction issues need in the transactional system you would refresh the repository to remove the transaction from the planning repository so the engine could run cleanly. The 2024.2 enhancement enables you to open the transaction record and check the new Exclude from Supply Planning box to remove the transaction from the most current planning repository version. A system refresh is not needed.

For more information, see Entering a Transfer Order.

Combine Minimum Order Quantity with Lot Sizing Options

This enhancement enables customers to pair Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) with any lot sizing option. Customers who use MOQ will be migrated to a combination of their MOQ and a lot sizing method of lot for lot. Customers who use MOQ will have their setup changed to use the lot sizing option with the limit of their current MOQ.
