Enhancements

This section describes the enhancements that are available in this release.

Outbound LPN consolidation validation

This enhancement adds rules to control the content of license plates (LPNs) at picking or packing based on criteria such as ship to, ship to group, carrier, and carrier group. Note that the new functionality only works with Pack or Load RF functions, options 0 and 1 from Pack/Load/Ship. They do not work with Option 3 - Pack/Load/Ship.

Previously, data updates performed nesting when IDs that contain multiple items are moved to a different outbound license plate. Since the IDs are nested into an LPN, they cannot be moved, which can cause an issue if an item on that ID needs to be moved separately to a different license plate prior to shipping. This enhancement introduces a merge function so that contents of an LPN can be moved to another LPN without nesting them together. Therefore, a case or ID picked to a license plate can be moved or repacked to a different LPN.

These new fields have been added to the Labels tab on the Owner page under the headers LPN Format Validation for Picking and LPN Format Validation at Packing:
  • Length
  • Masking Format
  • LPN Prefix
These fields have been added to the Processing tab on the Owner page:
  • To LPN Consolidation Validation at Picking
  • To LPN Consolidation Validation at Packing

When selected, these fields help to ensure that during picking, the license plate scanned during the pick meets specific length and type requirements.

On the Carrier > General tab, use the Carrier Commingle Group at Pick/Pack to identify carrier groups used for validation during picking, packing, and loading to ensure the license plates contain only material that should be shipped together.

A new RF pack process has been created to meet customer requirements. The Merge IDs option has been added to the Pack/Load/Ship (PLS) menu.

Waves for single item line orders

This enhancement includes the ability to create waves for single item line orders where the total number of orders for a single item is higher than the defined percentage of the total orders. This feature is meant for e-commerce, high volume warehouses so that the items can be batched together. More than one item can be defined for the wave if all the items meet the defined percentage.

A new field, Minimum Percent for Single Item (1 line orders only), has been added to these pages:
  • Query Builder
  • Graphical Filter
  • Saved Filters

Decimal Precision

This enhancement to Decimal Precision configuration settings limits the number of zeros that can come after the zero (0). Open ended decimal places can no longer be used for certain currency and quantity fields. You can now only define 4 (1.0000) or 5 (1.00000) decimal places for zero (0). Note that this enhancement only effects new users.

Drillback Mapping ION

You can now set up and use drillbacks through Infor Ming.le® alerts. Drillbacks are a link that you can select through Infor Ming.le to go directly to a location in Infor WMS. For example, when a shipment order is shipped an alert is sent to the configured user; that user can go into the alert's details and select the drillback option. You are then navigated to the shipment order page from Infor Ming.le and the details of the specified shipment order are displayed.
