Change Requests/ Enhancements/ Improvements:
Invoice generation for International Transporters
We’ve introduced a new enhancement to address operational challenges with international shipments, specifically for transporters that require CSB-V (Courier Shipping Bill-V).
Transporter-Level Configuration: A new transporter-level flag allows flexibility in determining when invoices are generated for international shipments. When enabled, the invoice number will now be generated upon clicking "Confirm Pack" but before the API call to the transporter.
Delivery Split Resolved: Previously, generating an invoice at the time of picking prevented users from splitting deliveries at the pack station for international shipments. This enhancement resolves that issue by delaying the invoice generation until the "Confirm Pack" action, ensuring that delivery splitting is possible before the final invoice is generated.
Benefits:
Improved Workflow: This change ensures that invoice numbers are generated in time for CSB-V generation without limiting users' ability to split deliveries at the pack station.
Configurable Flexibility: Users can tailor the order-packing process to suit different transporter requirements.

Putaway Enhancement: LPN to LPN Putaway
We’ve introduced a new feature to streamline the putaway process by allowing users to move items directly between LPNs, increasing operational efficiency and flexibility.
LPN-to-LPN Putaway: Users can now move items between LPNs by scanning LPN barcodes for improved operational flexibility.
Toggle Between Putaway Types: A new toggle switch enables users to choose between LPN to LPN and LPN to Bin putaway, offering flexibility based on operational needs.
Bin Restrictions: The selected bin cannot be a Loose LPN-enabled bin, ensuring proper putaway locations.
RF gun / HHD Operations: This enhancement is available on Vin WMS android app as well.
Benefits:
Enhanced Flexibility: The ability to transfer items between LPNs directly streamlines the putaway process and reduces handling time.
Improved Accuracy: The system’s validation checks ensure correct bin placement and prevent errors.
Operational Efficiency: Users can quickly choose the appropriate putaway method, speeding up the overall workflow.

Restriction of Manual Entry for SKU, Bin, and LPN in WMS App
To improve accuracy and ensure process adhreance, we've introduced new restrictions on manual data entry for SKU, Bin, and LPN fields in the WMS App.
Keyboard Restriction for Inbound & Putaway: Manual entry via keyboard for SKU, Bin, or LPN fields is no longer permitted. All entries must be made through barcode scans using handheld (HHD) devices.
Role-Based Control: A new role-based permission feature has been added, allowing admin-level users to restrict manual entry based on user roles.
Benefits:
Eliminates Errors: Prevents users from accidentally inputting incorrect SKUs, bins, or LPNs manually, ensuring data integrity.
Enhanced Accuracy: Entries are validated through barcode scans, reducing the likelihood of mistakes.
Role-Based Flexibility: Allows configurations based on user permissions, giving control over who can manually input data.
Improved Efficiency: Streamlines inbound and putaway operations, making the process faster and more reliable.

Key Bug Fixes:
Location-Based Validation for Inventory Reservation
Previously, the system blocked new inventory reservations if the same identifier existed at a different location, preventing users from proceeding.
With this fix, the inventory reservation logic now validates records based solely on the selected location, rather than performing a global check.
If an IR key or IR name exists at a different location, it will no longer block the creation of new inventory reservations for the current location.

Change Requests/ Enhancements/ Improvements:
Error Display Enhancements in Channel Price Upload
We have enhanced Price uploads, system now provides detailed error messages, making it easier to troubleshoot problems. Specifically, you'll get clear notifications when attempting price updates in unassigned marketplaces.
Navigation: Admin>>Import>> Import Type>>Channel Price V1>>Upload Template
SKU Auto-push Feature to Marketplace for Failed SKU
The system now detects common API-related errors and automatically retries pushing failed SKUs to marketplace based on selected error messages, reducing manual effort and ensuring smoother data transfers.
Expanded Import File Size Limit
We have enhanced the file import functionality by increasing the file size limit from 2MB to a more capacity supporting up to 10,000 SKUs and 500 columns. This improvement enables users to import substantially larger datasets more efficiently, streamlining workflows and eliminating the previous constraints of manual data splitting or compression.
Key Bug Fixes:
Attribute Mapping and Rule ID Functionality Enhancements
We have enhanced limitations in retrieving attribute outputs when using both Rule ID and Attribute Mapping (Dynamic, SKU, or Constant). Users can now update and apply both simultaneously, with Rule ID taking precedence.
Enhanced Variant Push Validation
Previously, unassigned variants were automatically pushed to marketplaces due to a missing validation check. This caused incomplete variants to be included, leading to inconsistencies.
Now, only variants with 100% enrichment will be pushed and assigned, while those with less than 100% enrichment will remain unassigned. Marketplace-specific conditions will continue to apply.
Standard APIs
Change Requests/ Enhancements/ Improvements:
Enhancements in Order Return API
The Return Pull API has been updated to include “irn” (Invoice Reference Number) and “qrCode” details in the response payload for e-invoiced returns. This enhancement provides essential e-filling information directly through the API.
In addition, “returnType” parameter has been added to the Return Pull API request, allowing users to filter returns by return type like Delivered Return or RTO for improved return management and reporting.
