Feature Requests

A new warehouse management feature will track units pending putaway after Goods Receipt Note (GRN) and Quality Check (QC). If a unit awaits putaway and is not placed in a shelf within a specific timeframe, the system will move it to a virtual "Not Found" location. This status is visible on the dashboard with unit ageing and pendency. Units in this virtual location are excluded from order transactions. If a unit is later found (via cycle count or W2W Audit ), Unit will be moved from the virtual location to its actual found location automatically. Method and Workflow When a new unit arrives (fresh consignment or return), the putaway task is created post-GRN and QC. The system tracks pendency for putaway. If putaway is not completed within a defined time, the unit appears on the dashboard marked with ageing and a "not found" status. After the threshold, the system assigns the unit to a virtual "Not Found" location automatically. The virtual location prevents these units from being assigned to orders or transactions. During cycle count or (W2W) Audit, if these units are found, they are removed from the virtual location and re-assigned to the new found shelf. Pros Boosts real-time visibility of unassigned units, improving tracking and investigation. Automates escalation and reduces manual follow-up on putaway pendency. Minimizes order errors and inventory mismatches by isolating not found units from order allocation. Enables root-cause analysis and operational accountability for uncompleted putaways. Eases reconciliation during cycle counts and lets users instantly update inventory location. Cons: The requirement for timely putaway completion may increase operational pressure on ground staff. Continuous system monitoring may require upgrades to dashboard and alerting infrastructure. Dependency on accurate cycle count and W2W processes to ensure virtually assigned units are promptly reconciled. If not properly configured, some units might get incorrectly marked "not found" and become unavailable for legitimate orders. Training may be needed for operations teams to adapt to automated assignment and recovery workflow. This feature aligns with advanced inventory management trends by automating unit tracing, reducing manual intervention, and preventing stockout/order errors, while requiring adequate change management and systematic process discipline for full effectiveness.

Hi Team, Earlier, system logic showed reasons like GRN pending, Putaway pending, or Weight verification pending. However, after GRN and Putaway closure, consignments should display as Weight verification pending. This status is missing under the Consignment tab on the GRN page, but is visible in the GRN items report under the Fulfillment report. Requesting a permanent fix to avoid order breaches due to WDL pendency. (#54965)

Requirement Statement: For any consignment marked as damaged, wrong product, or otherwise rejected, the generation and submission of a Warehouse Dispatch List (WDL) should not be mandatory. Applicable Scenarios: Items received in damaged condition Incorrect or mismatched products delivered Any other instances leading to consignment rejection at the time of inwarding or quality check System Impact: The system should allow such consignments to be marked as complete without requiring WDL upload. Exception logging should still capture the rejection reason for traceability and reporting. Objective: To streamline the return/rejection process for unsellable goods and eliminate unnecessary documentation in such cases.

Current Challenge: During the GRN and putaway process in Flex ERP, there is no automated mechanism to alert users when a SKU requires WDL activity. As a result, users may unintentionally miss segregating such items, leading to inefficiencies and tracking challenges. Additionally: Manual Oversight: Without alerts, items requiring WDL activity may not be separated, causing delays. Duplication of Efforts: If the same SKU appears in multiple boxes within a consignment, users might repeatedly segregate and process it for WDL. Tracking Gaps: Identifying inventory pending WDL requires multiple manual report exports, making it harder to manage the workflow efficiently. Proposed Solution Introduce Automated Pop-Ups: When a user pastes the item ID during GRN or putaway, the system should generate a pop-up if the product requires WDL activity. The pop-up should include a clear message, such as: "This product requires WDL verification. Please add it to a WDL-specific tote for further processing." WDL Segregation During Inward Processing: Automate the segregation process to direct SKUs requiring WDL activity to a dedicated tote during GRN or putaway. One-Time WDL Activity per SKU per Consignment: Ensure that WDL activity is performed only once for each unique SKU in a consignment. If the same SKU appears in other boxes of the same consignment, it should not trigger another pop-up, preventing duplication of efforts. Enhanced Tracking Mechanism: Provide a tracking feature for all inventory flagged for WDL, reducing reliance on multiple report exports. Enable real-time visibility into the status of WDL activity for better workflow management.

Skin story Requirement: While performing Goods Receipt Note (GRN) for consignments, it is essential for their operations team to record critical product attributes that are typically printed on physical packaging—namely Manufacturing Date, Expiry Date, Batch Code, and MRP. Problem Statement: Currently, the GRN process does not allow capturing these vital details during inbounding. This leads to post-GRN manual updates or lack of traceability in case of issues like expired stock, batch recalls, or MRP mismatches, which can result in compliance issues and operational inefficiencies. All these informations are taken at the time of consignment creation Proposed Enhancement: Introduce a step in the GRN workflow (specific to consignment orders) where the user can input or scan the following details per SKU at the time of receiving: Manufacturing Date Expiry Date Batch Code MRP

The brand wants visibility into the putaway status of SKUs for consignment inward. Currently, we provide the status only up to GRN on the consignment page, without displaying the putaway status. To check the putaway status, a separate report needs to be downloaded. The brand requests that the putaway status of SKUs be shown on the same consignment tab where we already provide details for Received, Accepted, and Rejected items.

The consignment label should be printed from the Eshopbox workspace itself for the clients so that it could be pasted over the master cartons in order to move their inventory from their location to Eshopbox location. Possible details added Consignment number Weight of the master carton Invoice number To and From location

One of the prospective client- Supertails had a requirement for their self fulfillment location where they are unsure of the expiry & batch details at the time of consignment creation. The request is to be able to update the batch details manually at the time of GRN along with the option to update the expiry incase of mismatch at the time of GRN itself.

Currently, fulfilment center associates can mark a consignment complete when GRN & quality check of all the items in the particular consignment is completed, but even if putaway is still pending for the items. This leads to the following issues: a. Even if the consignment is shown completed to the client, the inventory might still not updated on sales channel (If putaway is still pending). b. Warehouse user sometime miss it to manually mark the consignment as completed, even if the entire process was completed. To address these issues, we are planning the following improvements: The consignment will be automatically marked as completed, once the below steps are completed: a. GRN and QC is completed for all the boxes in the consignment. b. Putaway is completed for all the sellable (QC accepted) items in the consignment. c. All products in the consignment have its weight and dimension verified (Only applicable for Eshopbox fulfilment) Warehouse user will be able to see the pendency reason for the pending consignments. This reasons can be: GRN pending, Putaway pending, Weight verification pending, as applicable.
