August 18, 2021 – Feature Release Notes
Up to 1 hour of downtime anticipated between 20:00 and 21:00 PT (23:00 and 24:00 ET)
New + Improved
WMS-15178 – SmartScan: Released a major update to the Receipts module that is designed to significantly improve Receive Against ASN functionality. This includes separating Receive Against ASN into its own screen so it can use its own unique workflow, optimizing data collection to make the receipt process more efficient, and improving accessibility to receipt data from the barcode scanning device.
We are also significantly improving the collection of serial numbers for inbound receipts, but this enhancement will release shortly after the primary Receive Against ASN updates.
WMS-15660 – SmartScan: Added the option to the Receipts module so you can display the location in the line item grid when receiving against an ASN. You can add this data point from the Settings menu by selecting the hamburger icon in the top-right corner of the application and tapping Settings > Current View.
WMS-17344 – Small Parcel Space: Added the following column options to the Small Parcel grid: ASN Send Date, Billing Type, Closed Date, Created By, Earliest Ship Date, Load Number, Pick Job Assignee, Pick Job ID, Residential Address, Ship To Email, Ship To Phone, Status, and Warehouse Instructions. You can access each of these columns via Options > Columns above the grid.
WMS-18066 – SmartScan: Released an update to the "index.html" file used to install SmartScan as an application on the Zebra Enterprise Browser. This update fixes an issue where a recurring error message could display if the Zebra device encounters a weak WiFi signal. This update was performed automatically for all devices registered to the Emkat SOTI network. Note: If you do not use Zebra devices, or if you do not have Enterprise Browser installed on your Zebra devices, this issue did not impact you.
If you access SmartScan through Enterprise Browser and do not use Emkat as your Zebra hardware partner, you must install the updated file manually or work with your hardware provider to have it installed. Instructions on making this change are available in our article for Configuring SmartScan on Enterprise Browser in Steps 1 and 2b.
WMS-18137 – Create/Edit Receipt: Added the ability to delete a custom field from a receipt. This functionality was present for orders but not receipts.
Please note that deleting custom fields can cause automated processes, such as EDI, to fail, so we recommend that you do not delete custom fields without fully understanding the implications of doing so.
WMS-18175 – Customer Central: Added a 'Training Resources' link to the Customer Central drop-down menu within the top support navigation menu in 3PL Warehouse Manager. This option provides access to our new training program, 3PL Central University, where you can register for weekly training webinars and watch on-demand training videos.
Fixes
WMS-17389 – Find Orders: Resolved an issue in Edit Carrier and Routing where the Warehouse Instructions and Carrier Instructions fields were not displaying the values entered. This was also an issue in the Edit Shipping Info dialog in Small Parcel Suite.
WMS-17830 – Item Activity Report: Addressed an issue with the default report where it could time out when ran against items with large amounts of activity.
WMS-17912 – Create/Edit Receipt: Corrected an issue when adding line items to a receipt where a previously created system-assigned MU was not available to select in the Movable Unit drop-down list.
WMS-17915 – REST API: Resolved an issue in the Orders – GET endpoint where it was not properly including the contents of the ParcelOptions object.
WMS-17936 – Batch Item Update: Addressed an issue where the system would only test the first ten rows of the import file to determine if there were any updates to import. If it didn't detect any changes, the Confirm button remained disabled and you were unable to import changes that existed below row ten in the import file.
WMS-17979 – QuickBooks Online: Corrected an issue where charges were not being properly passed to QuickBooks in Ultra Detailed invoice exports if the Package Material Fee billing script was used.
Known Issues
SmartScan: When receiving with SmartScan, the application currently places focus on the next available open field after scanning a receipt value instead of placing focus on the next immediate field. This will be fixed with WMS-15179, which we plan to release next week.
