Feature details

Features becoming mandatory with the 10.0.36 release

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

  • 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 the use of 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: This feature 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.
  • Goods in Transit Receiving and Put away: Allows the goods-in-transit item receiving and putaway processes to receive goods using the legacy codes instead of the process guide framework.
  • Include Confirmed ship and Confirmed receipt dates into date filters on Load planning workbench: This feature expands the existing filtering capability of the Ship date and Receipt date fields on the Load Planning Workbench 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: This feature 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: This feature enforces the use of a new target license plate when processing work picking from a parent license plate. This applies for sales, inventory movements, transfer issue and production picking.
  • Pick line grouping
  • Post on-hand adjustments using configurable reason codes connected to offset accounts
  • 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 enabled by default with the 10.0.36 release

These features will be turned on by default but can still be manually disabled. These are all targeted to become mandatory with 2024 release wave 1.

  • Auto-submit detour steps for the Warehouse Management mobile app
  • Catch weight product processing with warehouse management: Provide support for catch weight products within warehouse management processes. Catch weight products are often used in industries where products vary by weight and/or size, such as the food industry. Catch weight products use two units of measure—an inventory unit (such as kg, lb, or oz) and a catch weight unit (such as box, each, or pallet). The inventory unit is the unit of measure in which the product is weighed and invoiced. The catch weight unit is the unit in which the products are handled, such as received, transferred, and shipped.
  • Hazardous materials enhancements
  • Inventory status changes for catch weight products: Adds support for changes to inventory status for catch weight-enabled products. The following inventory status changes will be enabled:
    • Inventory status change (periodic).
    • Quality order validation (inventory status change).
    • Inventory status change from on-hand by location form.
    • Inventory status change via warehousing app movement work.
  • Item consolidation location utilization: The new location utilization form serves as a tool for warehouse managers to easily view and filter the volumetric utilization of location across the warehouse. If deemed necessary, the user can select locations and create inventory movement work straight from the form in order to consolidate items, better utilizing warehouse space.
  • Location directive scopes: Introduces a rich configuration experience for location directives with four new scopes to replace "Multiple SKU". This gives more freedom when designing location directives and makes it possible to reduce redundant configurations.
  • Multilevel detours for the Warehouse Management mobile app
  • Multiple product receipt postings per load: Adds flexibility to the inbound load receiving process by allowing multiple product receipt postings for the same load. This lets warehouse managers keep a load open even after running the product receipt posting job, thereby allowing additional registrations for the same load. This enables quantities to be registered and product-receipt updated to the ledger on an ongoing basis.
  • Options for updating the mode of delivery for sales order lines when creating loads: This feature 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.
  • Pack containers using the Warehouse Management mobile app
  • Use existing catch weight tags when reporting production orders as finished: Adds support for reporting as finished a production order via the warehousing app when having catch weight tags registered to the appropriate order in advance.

Features becoming generally available with the 10.0.36 release

Some features can be disabled again after being turned on, and these are targeted to become enabled by default with 2024 release wave 1. All features are targeted to become mandatory with 2024 release wave 2.
