Redwood: Use Additional Search Capabilities When Creating and Updating Subinventories

Subinventories and locators are essential components in a warehouse as they enable precise organization and tracking of inventory. Subinventories represent the physical or logical areas within a warehouse, allowing you to segregate stock based on usage, ownership, or value. Locators further divide subinventories into specific storage locations, such as aisles or bins, making it easy to pinpoint where items are stored. Together, they enhance inventory accuracy, streamline picking and put-away processes, and help prevent stock discrepancies. When managing a large number of subinventories and locators, you need ample search criteria to quickly find the location you need to edit. Now you have the ability to search for subinventories, locators, and associated items using additional filtering criteria.

Enhanced Search Capabilities on the Configure Subinventories Page

You can now use enhanced search and filtering capabilities, including filter chips, to quickly locate and manage subinventories and related configurations. These enhancements improve discoverability and streamline navigation across the Configure Subinventories page. These enhanced search capabilities are available on both the Subinventories tab and Item Associations tab.

Descriptive Flexfield (DFF) Support in Mass Maintenance

You can now populate descriptive flexfields (DFFs) during mass maintenance by uploading CSV files when creating or updating subinventories.

Here are the newly supported descriptive flexfields:

DFF values can be provided through CSV files in the following areas:

• Configure Subinventories Page
