May 19, 2021 – Feature Release Notes
Up to 1 hour of downtime between 20:00 and 21:00 PT (23:00 and 24:00 ET)
New + Improved
WMS-8988 – Manage Items (Product Idea #31633): Added the ability to designate UOM-specific UPC values for items. These UOM-based UPCs, offered for both secondary and packaging UOM, will be used to identify not only the SKU but a specific quantity of the primary UOM. This simplifies warehouse operations and prevents the need to open packaging to get to the necessary barcodes.
Please note that these new fields are not currently supported in SmartScan or when importing new items into the WMS. We plan to release support for both of these in the coming weeks. In the meantime, for assigning UOM-based UPC values, please do so manually from the Manage Items page or through our Batch Item Update feature.
WMS-16172 – Small Parcel: Updated SmartPack in the Small Parcel space to support the newly created UPC values for secondary and packaging units of measure (UOM). Scanning these UPC values while packing an order will identify the SKU being packed and increment the quantity packed by the number of primary units specified for the scanned UOM.
WMS-16606, WMS-16927 – Customer Notifies: Added a new section under Admin > Settings that enables you to configure settings for the new email masking capabilities for event notifications. You can now configure a sender or "Sent From" name and a reply-to email address to be associated with the < notifications@secure-wms.com > originating address.
To learn more, see Preparing for Event Notification Updates.
WMS-16607, WMS-16928 – Customer Notifies: Added a new section under Customers > Manage Customers that enables you to configure settings for overriding global defaults for event notifications.
To learn more, see Preparing for Event Notification Updates.
WMS-16635 – Batch Item Update: Added support for UOM-based UPC values when batch-updating items in the WMS. Note: This support exists only in the enhanced version of Batch Item Update on the Manage Items page. It has not been retrofitted into the legacy Batch Item Update page, which will be removed from the WMS on June 2, 2021.
WMS-16887 – Small Parcel: Updated the AU Post carrier connection to support the use of label references as part of the shipping label request. Label references were not supported by AU Post when we first added this carrier integration, so Small Parcel Suite now supports this enhanced functionality.
WMS-16948 – Manage Items: Updated the secondary UOM to use the same mechanism as packaging UOM for setting the ratio between primary and secondary UOM. This was done to make it clear that the best practice is to have a primary UOM that is smaller than the secondary UOM, and that the number of primary units per secondary unit should be a whole number. Using ratios that include decimals may create rounding errors when calculating or reporting quantities elsewhere in the system.
WMS-17100 – Batch Item Update: Moved access to the classic Batch Item Update page to the Prior Version menu in the left navigation menu. The enhanced version of this feature is now available from Items > Manage Items, and this classic page will be removed completely on June 2, 2021.
If you are unable to use the new Batch Item Update functionality for batch-item updates, please contact your CSM immediately. For guidelines on using the new feature, see Batch-Updating Items.
Fixes
WMS-15862 – Find Orders: Resolved an issue that could prevent you from searching or filtering for specific customers. This issue was related to updates being made to a user's configuration while that user had the Find Orders page open.
WMS-16595 – Find Orders: Addressed an issue with Allocate > Split Overallocated Orders where the split operation could fail if the batch definition did not include a batch name and relied solely on the batch ID.
WMS-16956 – Small Parcel: Corrected an issue that occurs when packing a large order (one which contains many line items) in the Small Parcel space, where the SmartPack grid would not allow you to scroll down to see all the order contents.
WMS-17027 – Create/Edit Receipt: Resolved an issue with the receipt line item grid where scrolling within the grid could modify the Weight and Total Volume values displayed below the grid.
WMS-17048 – Manage Inventory, Create/Edit Receipt: Addressed an issue with the display of secondary UOM quantities where the calculation of the quantity did not result in a whole number due to rounding errors. For units of measure that are not divisible into partial units, the display of secondary quantity now ignores the rounding error and displays the nearest whole number as the quantity.
WMS-17049 – SmartScan: Corrected an issue in the Pack module when "forcing" an order pack to be complete prior to packing all items on the order. In this case, SmartScan displays a grid with information about the unpacked items, but some grid columns were not populating with relevant data.
WMS-17054 – eBay Connection: Resolved an issue where the connection would properly identify incoming orders with invalid SKUs but would not properly exclude them from being processed as incoming orders, which would cause database errors.
Known Issues
WMS-17256 – Manage Items: We are aware of an issue that occurs when batch-updating items, in which it is possible to assign the same primary UPC to multiple items for the same customer. SKUs and UPCs must be unique for a given customer. We plan to release a fix for this in our 5/26 release.
