Change Requests/ Enhancements/ Improvements:
Alternate printing of Label and Invoice:

Location-wise derived inventory view for BOM:

- Sound alert for errors in the WMS Android App:
An error sound has been introduced across the App when an error occurs due to incorrect input or other reasons.
This makes it easier for users to recognise an error has occurred during a process.
Access controlled restriction on skipping a pick task in the WMS Android App:
Users can be restricted from scrolling to the next pick task, using access control, without either picking or short-picking the current pick task.
This enforces the pickers using the defined picking path and optimum picking behaviour.
Navigation: WMS App>> Picking >> Orderwise Picking
Key Bug Fixes:
STO screen: real-time calculation of available qty:
The available quantity in the STO detail screen was earlier a snapshot of inventory from the time of STO creation.
This has been updated to provide real-time visibility of available stock of the SKU.
Navigation: Returns and Transfer >> Transfer >> STO Order Create/Edit
Improved clarity of error messages on LPN scan:
The system earlier used to throw a generic error message "Picklist No/Lpn No not found" when an LPN scanned was invalid.
An LPN can be invalid for a few reasons. The earlier error message left users ambiguous on the reason for failure and the action required from their end.
The following two cases have self-explanatory messages now:
The order associated with the LPN is already packed. The system will throw the following error: “Order <OrderNo> associated with this LPN is already packed”.
The order(s) associated with the LPN have been cancelled. The system will throw the following error: “Order <OrderNo> associated with this LPN is cancelled/unallocated”.
