What's New


See the page on the WOS Fulfillment app for details on what is currently available in the new app.

WOS Fulfillment - the New iOS App


In Progress

These features have been scoped and are currently being developed.  Timelines are not hard set, but are typically released in the next 2-3 months.


Major Features

Replenishment App Enhancements

Feedback from the first release of the new Replenishment app will be reviewed and implemented.  Design elements from the Manage Inventory app will be implemented where possible to maintain consistency between all of the processes in the new WOS Fulfillment App.

  • Updates to make Replenishment look and function more like the other apps added to WOS Fulfillment
  • Add the ability to handle Lot Numbers during the replenishment function
  • Improve visibility of needed replenish qty to make this more applicable at time of replenishment
  • Improve visibility of priority on putaway to identify the most urgent items to put into the pick face
  • Improved assignment of tasks to the user, allowing aisle/row-based assignment to separate work within the warehouse.
  • Empty Locations are optional and provide additional search and filter options to make them easier to find
  • Use of new Group Settings

New Cycle Count App

Cycle Count will be rewritten into the new WOS Fulfillment app. Current issues with the implementation of Lot tracking will be addressed and streamlined in this new version of the app, including the ability to separate Lot Tracking from Lot Recording.  Some new features will also be part of this new update

  • Double-blind counts will be comparable before confirming the count
  • Improved incremental counts ability so that mixed pallets and locations can be counted more quickly
  • Cycle Count App will provide more than counting full locations.  Identifying the next section of the warehouse to count or counting specific items will be easier.

These new features will only be available in the new WOS Fulfillment App.  The current WMS Fusion App will not be updated as part of these updates.

Minor Features

Allocation

Work is being done to improve the allocation logic and efficiency



Upcoming Roadmap

These features are next in line.  They have not been fully scoped and features are subject to change.  Timelines have not been set but will become more clear once the In Progress features have been released.


Granular Sub-Locations

Sometimes inventory needs to be segmented even further while not dividing up physical locations.  An implementation of sub-locations will compare to bin or LPN implementations by allowing a more granular inventory tracking when necessary. Sub-locations can provide a work-around to the WOS requirement of 1 Lot # per location.  It can also keep more granular records of inventory created dates. When a sub-location is added to a location, the sub-location must be provided to adjust or pick inventory to ensure the right inventory is edited.


Receiving and Putaway

A rewrite of the Receiving and Putaway will follow the inventory updates.  Some potential features include

  • Implementation of the Sub-Location feature during Putaway
  • Allow multiple putaways for the same item in the same received location to be performed in one step
  • Receive multiple POs at once so a truckload of multiple POs doesn't need to be fully organized before receiving can start
  • Create a Put-wall type of receiving so that items can be more easily organized into bins by aisle
  • Auto-close POs when everything is received to simplify back-end PO views

These new features will only be available in the new WOS Fulfillment App.  The current WMS Fusion App will not be updated as part of these updates.


Other Inventory updates.

  • In Process inventory, the items that have been picked and now exist as part of an order waiting to be packed or that have either been received but not added as inventory during Putaway, will be easier to view when searching for inventory within the warehouse
  • Use of the Work Queue will expand to being able to schedule Moves or Pulls.  Identify seasonal inventory that needs to be move out of the pick face, or quality issues that need to be pulled out of stock.  Create tasks in the work queue and users can pull these up in the app to complete the inventory updates.

These new features will only be available in the new WOS Fulfillment App.  The current WMS Fusion App will not be updated as part of these updates.


Inventory Status

Sometimes inventory needs to be put on hold while issues are reviewed and resolved.  WOS currently has Hold as a location type, but it requires moving inventory or changing location types.  A new featurew will allow specific inventory records to be set as Inactive.  Inactive inventory can't be picked or allocated against.  This will also fire off triggers that can be used in the integration to update other systems of the new status.
