Vinculum Release Notes

Version 9.3.176

07th October, 2025

Vin eRetail

Order Management: 

Change Requests/ Enhancements/ Improvements:

  • Enhanced OMS Shipping Rule for Forward Transporter Assignment 

  1. We have enhanced the OMS shipping rule for forward shipments to automatically iterate through the defined priority list of transporters. Previously, only the first suitable transporter was assigned, and if it was not serviceable, users had to manually reassign the order and pack it, causing additional effort.

  2. With this enhancement, the system now seamlessly attempts the next available transporter in sequence if the first transporter fails, ensuring uninterrupted order processing, reducing manual intervention, and improving overall efficiency and accuracy in shipment operations.

  • Enhancement in Return Visibility Having BOM SKU                         

  1. The return detail screen now highlights virtual BOM SKU codes similar to the order details screen, improving visibility and helping users quickly identify normal and BOM SKUs for accurate return processing.


Navigation: Vin e-Retail >> Returns & Transfers >> Return Enquiry >> Return Detail


Key Bug Fixes:

  • Enhanced Search Functionality on Order Allocate/Unallocate Screen            

  1. The search functionality has been enhanced to retrieve orders directly by entering the “Order No” or “Ext Order No” without requiring date range filters, bypassing the date filter and fetching the relevant order(s). 

  2. This enhancement removes the previous date range limitation, helping users resolve allocation and unallocation orders faster and reducing manual effort.

Vin FBS (Store Fulfillment App)

Change Requests/ Enhancements/ Improvements:

  • Introducing One Tap Order Processing with VIN FBS

  1. The Store Fulfilment app now features one-tap order processing that intelligently automates the entire fulfillment workflow, automatically selecting the optimal carrier based on predefined rules and instantly transmitting shipment pickup requests without requiring any manual intervention or decision-making from users.

  2. This feature dramatically reduces order processing time from multiple steps to a single tap, streamlines order processing, reduces manual effort, accelerates shipments, and improves overall operational efficiency.


  • Enhanced Homepage Design for Store Fulfilment                                  

  1. We have enhanced the homepage design of the Store Fulfillment app, providing a fresh and modern look. All key actions are now consolidated on a single page, eliminating the need for scrolling and enabling intuitive navigation.

  2. This improvement enhances user experience by making it easier and faster to access essential functions, streamlines workflow, reduces navigation time, and increases overall efficiency in store fulfillment operations.


Standard APIs

Change Requests/ Enhancements/ Improvements:

  • Image Field Addition in DWS API Request 

  1. A new optional field “image” has been added to the Dimensioning Weighing Scanning (DWS) API request payload, enabling visual documentation capture during the scanning process. 

  2. This field accepts plain base64-encoded text representation of images in JPEG, PNG, GIF, or JPG formats with a maximum file size limit of 500 KB per image.

  3. This enhancement enables users to attach package images directly with DWS data, improving traceability, audit readiness, and overall package verification accuracy.

  • New API for Non- Delivered Return (NDR)                                    

  1. We have introduced a new Non-Delivered Return (NDR) API to handle undelivered shipments with InitiateRTO and UpdateandReattempt modes, accepting Delivery or Tracking Number and providing real-time status messages.

  2. This enhancement allows updating customer details such as address, contact number, payment type, and delivery date, enabling faster reattempts, reducing failed deliveries, and improving overall customer experience.


Key Features


  1. Allows update of customer details such as address, contact number, payment type, and delivery date.

  2. Accepts either the Delivery Number or Tracking Number as mandatory input.

  3. Provides clear response messages with delivery status, success, or error description.

Key Bug Fixes:

  • BOM Cancellation Handling in Partial Line Level Cancellation API                     

  1. Previously, the Partial Line Level Cancellation API permitted users to cancel individual child SKUs within a virtual BOM, causing subsequent errors in inventory and fulfillment processes. This has been fixed to allow cancellation only at the virtual BOM SKU level, ensuring that the entire BOM is processed correctly.

  2. This fix enhances accurate BOM handling, maintains order integrity, and prevents errors in cancellation and inventory management.


API touchpoint: /RestWS/api/eretail/v1/order/cancelLineLevel

  • Restricting Partial Child SKU Returns of Virtual BOM in Return Create API               

  1. Previously, the system allowed to create returns for just one individual child SKU within a virtual BOM when processing a delivered return, causing discrepancy as external systems typically treat the BOM as a single, unified product.

  2. The fix now restricts return creation through child SKUs of BOM, allowing return creation using virtual BOM SKU only, preventing partial child SKU returns, and ensuring consistency with external systems

  1. Improved Zoho Books integration by adding support for Zoho custom fields in all available transaction types. This means extra information you track in Zoho Books will sync smoothly within our system.

  2. Provides greater flexibility for businesses to manage complex or unique data requirements across their financial transactions thus improving data consistency and completeness for more effective transaction management.
