·2 min read·From NetSuite Release Notes PDF
Starting in NetSuite 2023.2, significant enhancements have been made to mobile processes within the Warehouse Management System (WMS). These updates focus on improving workflows for receiving purchase orders, handling shipments, and managing inventory more efficiently. This article provides a detailed overview of these updates, highlighting benefits and usage scenarios that can save time and streamline operations.
Key Enhancements
Purchase Order Receiving
- Manufacturer’s Part Number (MPN) Search: Users can now search for purchase orders to receive based on the Manufacturer’s Part Number of an item. This makes locating specific orders much more intuitive and efficient.
Inbound Shipment and Tally Scan
- Continuous Tally Scanning: For the Inbound Shipment and Purchase Order Receiving processes, users now have the option to perform tally scans for different item types continuously on the Enter Quantity page. This feature can be enabled via the Enable Tally Scan? system rule, enhancing the productivity during receiving tasks.
Advanced Receiving Features
- Restock Option for Returns: If your organization uses the Advanced Receiving feature, you can now activate the Enable Restock option for returns? rule. This allows for easier management of returned items, as you can manually create item receipts for returns through the app and restock items back into inventory. For items not restocked, NetSuite automatically updates the relevant write-off account, which must be selected in the accounting preferences.
Barcode Scanning Support
- HIBC Barcode Entry: Users can now enter an item by scanning its HIBC barcode during supported inventory processes. This addition simplifies the recording and tracking of inventory, further enhancing operational efficiency.
Bin Transfer Process
- Transfer All Option: The Bin Transfer process has been updated to include a Transfer All option, enabling users to update lot or serialized items more effectively. This will reduce the time spent on tracking inventory across multiple bins.
