Key Bug Fixes:

  • Problem with pricing event during sku substitution:             

  1. Pricing events will now be applied when users substitute any SKU in an order.

  2. Earlier it was not working with substituted SKUs.



  • Inventory sync with discontinued SKU:                 


Currently, when an SKU is marked as discontinued and inactive, orders can still be placed since the inventory is not being adjusted to zero on the associated marketplaces and web shops. With this fix, the inventory is synchronized as Zero on the marketplace as soon as the SKU is marked as discontinued or inactive.



Warehouse Management:

Change Requests/ Enhancements/ Improvements:

  • Sort To Box Enhancements:                                     

  1. The system can now auto-generate LPNs and guide users to which LPN items need to be moved during sort-to-box operations in the B2B order processing workflow.

  4. Picker may complete picking for the shipment using the same picklist.
  5. If inventory for the items is not available in any other bin locations, the system will notify the user of the same and end the process after shortpick.

  1. The system earlier allowed assigning a user to a picklist only if the picklist was created using the By zone screen of picklist generation.

  2. We have extended the same functionality to orderwise picklist generation as well.

  3. Once a picklist is assigned to a specific picker, that picklist would only be accessible to the assigned picker. The system may be configured to allow multiple pickers to be assigned to the same picklist.

  4. Reassignment can be done manually by an authorized user.

  5. This would provide admins better control over the picking process.
