Pick Reversal Capabilities in NetSuite 2023.2
NetSuite 2023.2 introduces enhanced pick reversal capabilities for inventory management on mobile.
Starting in NetSuite 2023.2, significant enhancements have been made to pick reversal capabilities within the mobile application, designed to streamline inventory management workflows for users. These updates bring increased flexibility and efficiency to the process, ensuring that inventory operations can adapt to real-time needs.
Enhanced Pick Reversal for Work Orders
One of the key features introduced is the ability to reverse pick tasks specifically for work orders. This capability allows users to:
- Reverse pick tasks for components of work orders that have not been partially or fully built.
- Reverse up to ten pick task lines simultaneously.
- Specify lot numbers when reversing pick tasks, providing precise control over inventory movement.
- Handle over-picked components without affecting the original quantities of the associated work order.
This is particularly useful in manufacturing environments where components may not be needed due to changes in order specification or production schedules. The NetSuite WMS updates the status and bin details of the associated work orders automatically upon reversal, maintaining the integrity of inventory records.
Bin Selection for Reversed Items
In addition to the improved reversal functionality, users can now implement a new rule that enables bin selection during the reversal of pick tasks. This feature allows for:
- Customized Bin Transfers: When items are reversed, users can choose to transfer them to a different bin rather than the original bin from which they were picked. This adds an additional layer of flexibility in inventory management, accommodating stock relocation as necessary.
To enable this feature, administrators can activate the rule titled "Choose bins for reversed pick task items?" in the system settings, allowing users to leverage it effectively during their operations.
These enhancements not only improve operational agility but also ensure that inventory data remains accurate throughout the picking and reversal processes.

- Warehouse Managers - who oversee picking and inventory operations.
- Inventory Controllers - responsible for maintaining accurate stock levels and locations.
- Mobile Users - engaged in on-the-floor operations utilizing the NetSuite mobile app.
