TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following details provide insight into the upcoming progress for WarehouseOS.


Look at the What's New page, which is our most recent release notes, for details on what has been newly released.

What's New


See the page on the WOS Fulfillment app for details on what is currently available in the new app.

WOS Fulfillment - the New iOS App


In Progress

These features have been scoped and are currently being developed.  Timelines are not hard set, but are typically released in the next 2-3 months.


Major Features

PackOne & Verify in WOS Fulfillment

A rewrite of the PackOne app will provide all packing operations within WOS Fulfillment.  Mostly this app will follow the functionality that exists within WMS Fusion.  A few updates will be made.

  • Group Setting allows Tap Selection so that items don't need to be scanned to use this app
  • Set Boxes on each order prior to completing the order
  • View and reprint Documents related to the order
  • Ability to report Pick errors on the orders in the batch


Verify will not be written into WOS Fulfillment.  Instead, Packing will be updated to provide the same functionality that Verify was providing.


These new features will only be available in the new WOS Fulfillment App.  The current WMS Fusion App will not be updated as part of these updates.


Data Access (Import and Export features)

Several updates related to how data is exported.

  • New Saved Filters can be edited and will allow for deeper logic (multiple And/Or logics per field)
  • Scheduled Exports can send an email with a link to the full results, bypassing the current page limit of 10k records
  • Scheduled Exports can use the new Saved Filters to identify which records to export
  • Imports are "localized" into the related page:  Import Location updates on the Location page, Item updates on the Item page, etc.


Inventory Work Queues

Inventory Management can have tasks created to manage needed work.

  • Create a queue to have an Inventory record pulled out of inventory
    • This can be used to remove damaged items, items for executives or employees, etc.
  • Create a queue to have an Inventory record moved
    • This can be used to identify items in the pick face that need to be put into the backstock, like seasonal items after the season
  • Create a queue of items that are expected to be Put
    • This could serve as an alternative to POs when no records exist and a Put is preferred
    • Relating a Put to an order could result in allocating an order directly against the inventory Put.

Minor Features

Per Order Allocation

An allocation routine can be set on the Order.  When orders are allocated, the Order's allocation routine would preferred over the system routine.

This could allow for wholesale orders to be allocated against backstock first before taking up inventory in the pick face.


New print agent that will allow for more direct communication between the printers and WOS.



Upcoming Roadmap

These features are next in line.  They have not been fully scoped and features are subject to change.  Timelines have not been set but will become more clear once the In Progress features have been released.


License Plate Numbers

Sometimes inventory needs to be segmented even further while not dividing up physical locations.  An implementation of sub-locations will compare to bin or LPN implementations by allowing a more granular inventory tracking when necessary. It can keep more granular records of inventory created dates. When a sub-location is added to a location, the sub-location must be provided to adjust or pick inventory to ensure the right inventory is edited.


Implementation of LPNs, or what WOS might consider Sub-Locations, has been delayed. The implementation of LPNs will require labels to be created and printed as part of the process.  Better print methods are required before this can be implemented.


Inventory Status

Sometimes inventory needs to be put on hold while issues are reviewed and resolved.  WOS currently has Hold as a location type, but it requires moving inventory or changing location types.  A new feature will allow specific inventory records to be set as Inactive.  Inactive inventory can't be picked or allocated against.  This will also fire off triggers that can be used in the integration to update other systems of the new status.


Batch Build Algorithm Split

The Batch Build page will allow the calculation against Full Order Zones or Cells availability to be done in isolation so that the amount of calculations can be reduced and managed.  By splitting out the calculations to not be performed all at once, additional options can be provided.  The intention is to provide more real-time inventory views so that allocations can be delayed until orders are batched while still providing Zone details needed for efficient picking.


These new features will only be available in the new WOS Fulfillment App.  The current WMS Fusion App will not be updated as part of these updates.
