Enhancements to Inventory Snapshot by ERP Bucket

Adding continued support for integration between WMS and ERP systems, we’ve made additional enhancements to Inventory Balance Snapshot by ERP Buckets, thereby helping you to keep your inventory balances in sync.

Supporting a simpler process, we’ve enhanced the Rule for the Generate Inventory Balance Snapshot scheduled job, and we’ve added additional selection criteria to Item Summary Rules.

GENERATION RULE NOW MANDATORY

In order to prevent multiple instances of the Generate Inventory Balance Snapshot scheduled job being run at the same time, the rule description field is now mandatory.

Rule Description

Rule Description

NOTE: If you initiate the scheduled job rule without providing the generation rule description name, then the scheduled job will fail with an error message.

You will be able to view any failed jobs in the Scheduled Jobs  -> Details UI and the Application Logs UI.

PREVENT RUNNING OF GENERATION OF INVENTORY SNAPSHOT SIMULTANEOUSLY 

From 24A release onwards, simultaneous runs of the Generate Inventory Balance Snapshot scheduled job will not be supported. The frequency of scheduled jobs will be spaced out so that simultaneous runs do not get initiated.

In the Scheduled Job details, when you have the “Send email per failure” field configured, the system will send an email with the job failure reason.

ITEM SUMMARY RULES - ADDITIONAL SELECTION CRITERIA  

Providing additional item and location summary filtering capabilities, the following new Selection Criteria fields have been added to Item Summary Rules:

  • item Facility.Velocity code,
  • item facility.custom attribute_1,
  • item facility.custom attribute_2,
  • item facility.custom attribute_3
  • item facility.max_lpn_qty
  • item.putaway_type.
  • Location. Billing Location Type
  • Location. Item Assignment Type

  • Location.Custom Field 2
  • Location.Custom Field 3
  • Location.Custom Field 4

  • Location.Allow Multi Sku flag
  • Location.Assembly Location flag

NOTE:  These fields are applicable for Generation and Extraction summary details. You can filter based on summary type and rule type.

INVENTORY BALANCE SNAPSHOT OUTPUT - ADDITION OF EXTRACTION RULE NAME IN JSON OUTPUT

We’ve introduced the following two new fields in JSON output for Inventory Summary Snapshot:

  • extraction_rule_name – (the rule name used in the scheduled job “Extract Inventory Balance Snapshot”.)
  • schedule_name – (Scheduled job name used for extraction.)

NOTE: If generation and extraction are used in the same scheduled job, then the schedule name will populate accordingly.
