Feature details

Features becoming mandatory with the 10.0.32 release

These features have become mandatory and can no longer be disabled.

  • Allow editing of physical dimension for a released product and its handling unit: Allow editing of physical dimensions for a released product and its handling unit. Changes will be synchronized back to the corresponding values on the released product. Changes to the gross weight will set the net weight on the released product to the gross weight less tare weight.
  • Auto update shipment
  • Cross-docking templates with location directives: Lets you use location directives to help determine the best location to move cross-docking inventory to. To set this up, assign a directive code to each relevant cross-docking template. Each directive code identifies a unique location directive.
  • Deferred put - container: Extends the deferred processing functionality for work that uses containers.
  • Disable expected receipts from quality orders that sample blocked inventory: Prevents the system from creating expected receipt transactions for quality orders that sample inventory with a blocking status.
  • Item consolidation location utilization: The new location utilization page enables warehouse managers to view and filter the volumetric use of locations across the warehouse. If necessary, managers can select locations and create inventory movement work straight from the page to consolidate items, thereby making better use of warehouse space.
  • License plate receiving history: Logs all license plates registered through the menu items License plate receiving and License plate receiving and put-away. Each record stores the license plate ID, load and shipment information, the date and time of receiving, and the user ID of the worker who handled the license plate. This information is displayed on the License plate receiving history page.
  • Location directive inventory picking aging
  • Manual shipment consolidation: The manual consolidation of shipments is a time-driven requirement. Some shipments get consolidated at release to warehouse, while some should be consolidated when they are already at the dock.
  • Manual transfer line picking service for admin or similar trusted users: Allows administrators to manually pick inventory transactions related to transfer lines, including lines that have already been released to warehouse.
  • Maximum execution time for the warehouse management on-hand entries cleanup job
  • New load planning workbench pages: Enables two new load planning workbench pages—Inbound load planning workbench and Outbound load planning workbench.
  • Organization wide wave step code: Enables the wave step code feature for all legal entities. The wave step code feature ensures that wave step codes are no longer based on free text but on codes stored in a dedicated table. Going forward, users must select between predefined wave step codes when using wave step codes to link specific wave method instances with their corresponding templates.
  • Organization-wide "Schedule work creation" wave method: On enabling this feature, the Schedule work creation wave method will be configured to run in parallel across all legal entities. Several additional settings will also be affected.
  • Organization-wide system directed work sequencing: System-directed work sequencing makes it possible to sort and filter which work orders the system will present to users for execution. This functionality solves scenarios where additional criteria are required to drive the warehouse picking process (for example, based on ship time, picking zone, location profile, or a combination of different criteria). This feature enables the system-directed work sequencing feature for all legal entities within the organization.
  • Outbound sorting
  • Packaging product dimensions
  • Quality Management For Warehouse Processes
  • Replenishment over location capacity: Some high-volume or space-constrained warehouses may need to ship more quantity of an item in a day than what will fit in the picking location. Replenishment over location capacity allows all replenishment work to be created that will be needed for the day and manages availability of the replenishment work to ensure that the pick location doesn’t run out of inventory, but also doesn’t go above capacity.
  • Scale unit support for warehouse app work lists: This feature updates the way work list configurations for the warehouse app are stored in the database using table names instead of table IDs. Admins are still able to configure which fields are shown in the work list, and there are no changes to the user interface.
  • Scan GS1 barcodes
  • Schedule work creation
  • System directed cluster picking
  • System directed work sequencing
  • Warehouse management app data inquiry flow
  • Warehouse management application - blank GTD: This feature is for Russian localization only. It allows workers using the Warehouse Management mobile app to leave Russian customs declaration numbers (GTDs) blank when needed. If the GTD tracking dimension is set up to allow blank values, the system will accept blank values for GTD for inventory operations provided on-hand inventory is available.
  • Warehouse release rule
  • Wave Load building feature
  • Wave step code
  • Work split
  • Validate templates selected for replenishment jobs: Helps ensure that users select valid replenishment templates when setting up a replenishment job. This feature prevents users from creating a replenishment job without a template and from selecting templates of type Wave demand, which won't create any replenishment work and may take a long time to process.
  • Use faster API for containers closing/reopening on packing station: Creates inventory transactions related to containers using a new lightweight process to improve the performance of closing or reopening containers during manual packing station processing.

Features becoming enabled by default with the 10.0.32 release

These features are now turned on by default but can still be manually disabled. These are all targeted to become mandatory with 2023 release wave 2.

  • Change the error to a warning when releasing a load where sufficient quantity isn't available: This feature lets you change the error to a warning when a user tries to release a load for an order where sufficient quantity isn't available.
  • Enhanced parser for GS1 barcodes: Enables an enhanced parser for GS1 symbol data. The parser implements the GS1 General Specification algorithm for parsing GS1 symbols and includes stronger validations of data correctness.
  • Evaluate work header breaks before work header maximums during work creation: Enables more optimal work header grouping during work creation, which can lead to a smaller number of created work headers. This is accomplished by changing the order in which the work header maximums and work header breaks are evaluated during work creation. When this feature is enabled, the work header breaks will be evaluated before the work header maximums.
  • Include Confirmed ship and Confirmed receipt dates into date filters on Load planning workbench: Expands the existing filtering capability of the Ship date and Receipt date fields on the Load Planning Workbench page to include the sales order line's Confirmed ship and Confirmed receipt dates to determine lines to add to a load. If those dates are blank, order lines will be filtered based on the Requested ship and Requested receipt dates, respectively.
  • License plate receiving enhancements
  • License plate validation on source document lines
  • Line reservation enhancements for the batch number reservation form feature
  • Over receipt of load quantities: Lets you choose whether to allow or prevent over receipt of inbound load quantities. Over receipts occur when a worker registers a quantity that is greater than the remaining unregistered quantity for a selected load (adjusted for over delivery percentage).
  • Packing work for packing stations
  • Parent license plates cannot be target license plates: Enforces the use of a new target license plate when processing picking work from a parent license plate. This applies to sales, inventory movements, transfer issue, and production picking.
  • Pick line grouping
  • Purchase order quantity left to load calculation using registered quantities: With this feature, the calculation of Quantity left to load for a purchase order line is replaced with a view that shows the registered quantity marked with a load.
  • Sales order packing slip corrections/cancellation transaction status change: With this feature, the processing of a sales order packing slip cancellation/correction will cause the inventory transaction status to become OnOrder when the transaction is not linked to a warehouse management load line.
  • Work policy enhancements for inbound work

Features becoming generally available with the 10.0.32 release

These features are now generally available. They are not turned on by default and must be enabled manually. Some features can be disabled again after being turned on, and these are targeted to become enabled by default with 2023 release wave 2. All of these features are targeted to become mandatory with 2024 release wave 1.

  • Options for updating the mode of delivery for sales order lines when creating loads: Lets you use accounts receivable options to control whether sales order lines are assigned a matching mode of transportation the first time you create a load for one or more lines belonging to a sales order. This feature ensures that when you create a load for a sales order line, the system will respect the accounts receivable setting for updating lines based on sales order header changes.
  • Options for validating ingredient batch expiration dates: This feature lets you choose which date is used to validate the expiration of an ingredient batch when making a physical reservation from a bill of material (BOM) or formula line.
  • Reverse match feature: Reverse match for the settlement process.
