Enhancements

Order disposition rules added

This enhancement adds configuration rules to determine outbound processes that must be completed on orders before the next step of the process can begin. For example, do not allow packing or loading if the entire order has not been picked. You can define the configuration for the order rules by owner and ship to customer based on unique outbound processes.

The new Shipment Order Processing Rules menu option has been added to the Outbound > Outbound Control menu.

This example shows how the order configuration rules may be used:

1. Create shipment order processing rules.
2. Assign rules to Owner or Ship To, or both.
3. Create a shipment order.
   • If the Ship To has a rule, then that rule is assigned to the shipment order
   • If Ship To does not have a rule, but the Owner does, then the rule is assigned to the shipment order
   • Or, assign a rule to the shipment order
4. Allocate and release the order.
5. Depending on the rules assigned to the shipment order, you must perform certain actions so the order processing flow can continue. Actions include allocate before picking, pick before ship, or load before ship.

Expiration date validation added

In Infor WMS, you can validate outbound shelf-life using expiration and manufacturing date based on the choice on the enterprise item. Date limits can be set on item, conditional validation, lot control by ship to, and order detail. With this enhancement, you can validate the expiration date even if rotating by manufacturing date to prevent expired product from being allocated.

This table shows the new fields added along with the page and tab on which they are located.

New Case ID generation added for Voice Picking

A picker using Voice Picking can now create a new case ID in the middle of picking a current assignment. They can also print a new container label for remaining picks of the current case ID. Additionally, the voice picker can now hear the remaining picks, cube, and weight for the case ID currently being picked.

The picker can continue to keep picking an assignment whenever the current case ID container has become full, but still has picks remaining. Creating the new case ID does not require supervisor intervention.

Ownership control changes to Form Designer

This enhancement adds a Release button on the Form Designer List page. An authorized user can click Release to take ownership of a locked form with the status of Design or Saved. The user can then open the form and save it to acquire ownership. Any user with Form Designer permissions can open a form with a status of Released and click Edit to acquire ownership of the form.

Additional string functions added for Extensibility rules

This enhancement adds the new string functions, String Left and String Right, that can be used in the expression or actions blocks of an extensible business rule. Use the String Left option to extract the string value from the left side of the string. Use the String Right option to extract string value from the right side. You must specify the number of characters to be extracted from dynamic values in substring functions. Substring functions include but are not limited to BIO attribute, constant, values from context, or lookup result attributes.

Note that String Left and String Right as look-up attributes in the left-hand side of an expression is not supported. Lookup result can be used as a source value in these enhanced substring functions.

Billing import and export functionality

This enhancement adds import and export functionality to 3PL Billing so that configuration data can be migrated between test and production environments. The configuration data is exported as a single file .json or .zip file and includes base data that is non-customer specific and customer specific data for the list of selected customers. A comparison page shows the imported file data. The page shows new records being added with the import, new primary keys and modified records, same primary key but different non-key data.

Package Number added for ASN Detail and RF Receiving

This enhancement adds the Package Number field to the ASN Detail page and the RF Receiving page. The value in the Package Number field integrates Infor M3 and Infor WMS by identifying which receipt detail is being received in Infor WMS.

When the Package Number on ASN Detail page is not NULL, the Package Number field is displayed as a required field in RF Receiving. After entering the LPN for the item received, the user must specify the package number from the container label sent from the supplier. If the Package Number on ASN Detail page is NULL, then the Package Number field is not displayed on the RF Receiving page.

Enhanced process inventory hold logic

This enhancement improves the ProcessingInventoryHold logic to include releasing ID Hold by RECEIVINGNUM. The Receiving Number column has been added to the Held Inventory page and is available through the List View Preferences page. When added to the Held Inventory list, you can validate hold releases when using receiving number.
