Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud

The 9.0.0 Update of Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud (Oracle WMS Cloud) includes substantive improvements and changes to the following areas of the product:

What follows is a brief summary. The enhancements apply to Oracle WMS Cloud Enterprise Edition unless otherwise noted. For more details about each feature and improvement, please review the What’s New 9.0.0 Update document and the official Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud documentation in the Oracle Cloud Help Center.

Functional Enhancements

REST API Standardization

Oracle WMS Cloud has had REST API's for many years. However, the focus has been very functional. It has focused on:

Version 9.0.0 includes a new set of API's that focus on exposing broader and deeper access to the system. It follows REST standards more closely to create entities (resources) and allows access to these resources via the HTTP verbs GET, POST etc. This is a multi-release feature with a focus in 9.0.0 on exposing the most commonly used entities for read access via GET and a few specific entities for creation and modification via POST. In later versions, PATCH and DELETE verbs will also be supported and POST support extended. The eventual goal is to be able to expose enough access so that it is possible for customers to create rich applications or user interfaces on top of these API's.

The previous set of APIs will continue to be supported as is and may be slightly enhanced but the main focus going forward will be the new API's.

Decimal Number Support

In version 9.0.0, the application has been extended to accept quantity in decimals in all areas of the application. You can enter quantity in decimals in handheld devices (RF) or Web based UI screens and also Input Interfaces/APIs. Until version 9.0.0, only some RF Modules captured quantity in terms of decimals for items with a conversion factor greater than one. Decimal entry for quantity fields was not supported from the UI. The following are major highlights of the decimal support changes:

Oracle WMS Cloud will send quantity in decimals for the base interfaces we support with Material Handling Equipment (MHE). Implementation teams should judge whether MHE is handling decimal qty or not. Your implementation team should consider whether external systems can handle decimal quantities before configuring items in decimals.

Inventory Attribute Expansion

NEW INVENTORY ATTRIBUTES

Version 9.0.0 provides better flexibility for customers in industries that are required to store multiple attributes. Fifteen attributes are available in the system, so customers whose business requirements need multiple fields to store this information can now use the extra field Inventory Attributes. Please note that the new inventory attributes H to O can only be interfaced in the application. You are not prompted for these attributes in the RF. New attributes added do not have item level tracking flags and support for capturing inventory attributes is only available for inventory attributes A to attribute G.

The following features are completed to support this change:

Mass Update of Inventory Attributes

A new button “Mass Update Attributes”, is available from the IBLPN UI. The action button is permission controlled, only those with permissions can perform mass update. In order to perform Mass Update, you can use the search criteria to narrow down the number of records that need to be updated. Oracle WMS Cloud issues an error message when no filter criteria is applied before performing "Mass Update Attributes". Once you click "Mass Update Attributes", Oracle WMS Cloud lets you know the number of records that are updated so you can have an idea of how many records will be affected or that you can cancel/continue.

After confirming the number of records, you are able to update the inventory attributes A-O and putaway type only. The records that are filtered and in the status Received and Located are eligible for update. The process of updating can take time depending on the number of records handled. Any modification in the inventory attribute (a to o) is updated back to the IB Shipment detail, if the corresponding IB Shipment is not verified.

Upon successful update, the inventory records for the same item within the LPN that are identical are merged together into a single inventory record. Mass update of attributes is performed on LPN, which are in a specific status i.e. Received, or Located.

Display Standard Pack and Case Quantity Equivalents

From version 9.0.0 onwards items and item prepack standard pack quantity, case quantity, max quantity fields only support integer values with no decimals. Even if an item is tracking inventory in decimals corresponding to the item’s standard pack quantity, case quantity, and max quantity fields do not support values in decimals.

Receive Entire Shipment in Browser Enhancement

Prior to version 9.0.0, if you were receiving an Inbound Shipment using “Receive Entire Shipment”, the information related to the pallet was not passed after receiving even if the Inbound Shipment contained this information. In version 9.0.0, customers that track pallet numbers can now use “Receive Entire Shipment”, and the pallet number associated with the LPNs is updated in the container. The “Pallet Number” field is now available in the edit pane of the IB Shipment detail. You can add or edit the Pallet Number in the IB Shipment detail UI. You can use Receive Entire Shipment to keep the association between the LPN and the Pallet number in the IB Container UI, Pallet UI, and Pallet History UI after receiving a cartonized IB Shipment.

Auto Create Transfer Shipment Facility Parameter

When a new facility is added in Oracle WMS Cloud, the facility parameter CREATE_FACILITY_TRANSFER_SHIPMENT_FOR_ALL defaults to YES. Version 9.0.0 changes the behavior of this parameter so that if the value is blank or NULL, it is treated as NO, and a transfer shipment is not created. In order for a transfer shipment to be created in the target DC, the value has to be explicitly set as YES, Y, or TRUE. Blank, NULL, or any other value is treated as NO.

Configurable Lock Codes for RF Create LPN

In version 9.0.0, a new parameter default-lock code is available in RF CREATE LPN, and you can set up the default lock code to be applied when you create an LPN using RF CREATE LPN. The same parameter is available in CREATE LPN API. If customers do not want a lock code to be applied to the LPN, the value in the parameter should be blank. This feature provides customers the flexibility to assign specific lock codes to the new LPN.

3PL Task Management Improvements

Version 9.0.0 enhances the Task Management Module to include Company ID on the task. This new functionality is a great feature for 3PL Customers, as they may want to restrict users from running tasks for companies that they are not eligible. Version 9.0.0 populates the Company ID of the task. You can see the Company ID and the Facility fields on the Task UI. In the RF, the Execute Task Transaction only displays tasks that are eligible according to the eligible company setting. Tasks created prior to this change with a null Company ID will still be available to all the users in the RF.

Selection Criteria Enhancements

Version 9.0.0 includes selection criteria rules enhancements for the following:  Putaway Type Selection Criteria Rules, Inbound Sorting Criteria, Task Creation Criteria Rules, Cycle Count Task Creation Rules, Outbound Sorting Selection Criteria, Dynamic Staging Selection Criteria, Sort and Receive Selection Criteria, Dynamic Wave Search Selection Criteria, MHE Route Instruction Configuration, Packing Restriction Rules Selection Criteria, Outbound Audit Rules and Selection Criteria for Output Interface Configuration. Refer to the Appendix for detailed selection criteria information.

SUPPORT FOR IN, NOT IN OPERATOR IN SELECTION CRITERIA RULES

SUPPORT FOR SPECIFIC FORMAT FOR DATE AND DATETIME RELATED FIELDS IN SELECTION CRITERIA RULES

Allocation Methods on Allocation Modes

Version 9.0.0 introduces an allocation method on the allocation mode. You now have the ability to set different allocation methods on each allocation mode defined on a wave template. If the allocation mode is not set on a specific allocation mode, then the allocation method for that particular sequence defaults to the allocation method set on the wave template.

Consume LPN RF Transaction

The new transaction “RF Consume LPN” allows you to consume an LPN on the RF device, and it asks you for a reason code if a default is not provided on the screen parameter. This transaction is helpful for customers that need to transfer inventory to other systems such as manufacturing to remove the inventory from the LPN. Only LPNs with a Located status are available to be consumed and the user is required to enter a reason code. This transaction records an Inventory History Transaction IHT-2 container consumed. It will have the LPN, Item, lock codes, reason code, and inventory attributes.

A new flag is added to the Lock Code UI, “Prevent direct consume”. If the LPN has a lock code with this flag on, the system does not allow you to consume this LPN.

Multi-Field Barcode Scanning

Version 9.0.0 introduces multi-field barcode scanning. These are single barcodes (either 1D or 2D) that contain multiple values within them, such as the LPN number, the item barcode, and manufacture date. Multi-field barcode scanning saves time and increases operational efficiency. You can configure multiple classes of multi-field barcode scanning and define different sets of supported fields within each class. Each multi field barcode class defines all possible fields, and not the contents of any one specific barcode. A class is identified by different prefixes. The barcode scanner must be configured appropriately. Multiple classes can be defined and enabled or disabled. The application has a default multi field barcode class that is a subset of the GS1 spec, including fields (AI's or application identifiers in GS1 terminology) that are frequently used in warehouse management. Each field is associated with a standard barcode type.

All RF screens can now recognize multi-field barcode scanning based on the prefix. Once a certain class is detected, it extracts all the component fields and they are used within the current RF operation. For example, if a receiving option expects an LPN number, manufacturing date, SKU, and count via entry fields (that may be on multiple screens), and a barcode containing the LPN number, manufacturing date and SKU is scanned, all three values will be extracted and used automatically.

The application validates all three fields automatically and moves to the quantity field. In certain modules like Cycle Count modules, it is possible to configure it to restrict multi-field barcode scanning to just apply to the current field and not to extract all fields. A new RF parameter, Multi field barcode restricts to current field has been added for this purpose.

New functionality has been added to Label Design to print GS1 barcodes. Refer to Enhancements to Label Designer for more details.

New Barcode Types

In version 9.0.0, the following Barcode Types Entries have been added:

Yard Management

Version 9.0.0 has added Basic Yard Management functionality to Oracle WMS Cloud. This allows the tracking of trailers in the yard and dock locations.

A new location type called Yard is available in Oracle WMS Cloud. You can now create, copy, edit, and filter yard locations in the Locations UI screen similar to other location types. Oracle WMS Cloud also supports interfacing Yard locations into the system.

The trailer UI is enhanced to include location information. This helps to show if a trailer is in the dock location, yard location, or not located. You can also use this view to locate trailers to yard locations or move trailers from one yard location to another. Oracle WMS Cloud supports validation to ensure that this view is only used to locate trailers to the yard location and not to dock locations. Locating the trailer to yard location creates a new inventory history record Yard Movement that has information about the Trailer, the location to which it has been moved, along with other key fields related to the trailer.

Checking in an appointment now updates the dock location on the trailer. Since this is typically done when trailers are moved from yard to dock doors, this action also generates the Yard Movement Inventory History Record. Checking out an appointment clears out the location information on the trailer. You can move the trailer back to the Yard location in the Trailer UI. In general, any movement of Trailer from or to Yard locations triggers the creation of the Yard Movement Inventory History Record.

Similar to appointment check in/out, checking in inbound loads using the Inbound Load screen also results in an update of the dock location on trailer. Checking out the load clears the location and you have the option to update to the yard location via the Trailer UI. Again, any movement of Trailers from and to yard locations will trigger the creation of IHT-81 Yard Movement Inventory History Record.

Version 9.0 supports updating the trailer number from the Inbound Load Inquiry Screen. Updating the trailer number from the Appointment screen is no longer supported.

For an Inbound Shipment Inquiry, if the trailer number is changed for an inbound load that is checked in, the trailer number on the underlying appointment is updated with the new trailer number. This results in an update of the corresponding locations on the old and new trailers. The Yard Movement Inventory History Record is written for both old and new trailers. The record for the old trailer indicates movement from dock location to an undefined (blank) location. The record for the new trailer indicates movement from an undefined (blank) location to the dock location.

Similarly, on OB Load Inquiry, if the trailer number is changed for an outbound load that has been checked in, the trailer number on the underlying appointment is updated with new trailer number. This results in update of corresponding locations on the old and new trailers. Yard Movement Inventory History Record is written for both old and new trailers. The record for the old trailer indicates movement from the dock location to an undefined (blank) location. The record for the new trailer indicates movement from the undefined (blank) location to the dock location.

Finally a validation has been added in the system to ensure that the same trailer number associated with different inbound/outbound Loads cannot be checked into different dock doors at the same time.

Enhancements to Label Designer

You can now generate/print valid Multi-field barcode scanning using Label Design. This new functionality allows you to specify the barcode construction by editing the expression field of the barcode on Label Design. This gives you the ability to have a function’s text inside the expression field, so that the system can generate a multi field barcode with the different parts of the GS1 code. You can use either Data Matrix type or UCC_128 to create this barcode, and you should map the Article ID to an existing column, and use the following format when creating a label expression:

[Start C Character] + [FNC1 Character] + Barcode Prefix + [Code A Character] + Merchant ID + [Code C Character] + Article ID (without Merchant ID + [Symbol Check Character] + [Sop Character]

The label designer data grid can now be setup to use metric measurements instead of imperial measurements, which will be helpful in countries using metric.

Integration Enhancements

Inventory History File Updates

The Inventory History interface is now updated to include to_location for warehouse movements and a creation time stamp.

Detailed Serial Number Inventory History Integration

ENHANCEMENTS TO INVENTORY HISTORY

Prior to Version 8.0.2/9.0.0, if the item in question was serial number tracked, some of the Inventory History Activity Records are split by serial number. For each distinct serial number a separate inventory history record is written. From Version 8.0.2 onwards support is added for some more additional Inventory History Records to perform split by serial number if the item being handled is tracking serial numbers.

The following additional activity types are enabled to split by serial number:

Sending Allocatable or Unallocatable Flag in Inventory History

Inventory Summary – Alphabetized Lock Codes

Default Custom Inventory Summary (CINS) currently exposes columns which hold the lock code values and the corresponding quantity associated with it. Oracle WMS Cloud exposes 10 column pairs which hold the lock code values and the corresponding quantity associated. From version 9.0.0 onwards, when the Custom Inventory Summary is generated for each item/batch combination where inventory is present, underlying lock codes are ordered in alphabetical sequence. The number of Lock Codes displayed for each item/batch combination is limited to ten.

RF Distribute LPN Enhancements

In automated facilities, after inducting LPN to the Material Handling Equipment (MHE) LPNs went to a Reserved status awaiting MHE completion messages. Now you can complete the Distribute LPN tasks in the RF UI that were in-flight instead of awaiting MHE completion messages.

ADD CREATE TIMESTAMP AND TO LOCATION IN THE INVENTORY HISTORY OUTPUT FILE

Currently we have Create_Date format (yyyymmdd) in the Inventory History Output file, but we do not send the time. However, some external systems also need the time. Instead of changing the existing field to include the time, the Create_Ts format (yyyymmddhhmn) field has been added to the output file which has the same date information as create date and time.

From Version 9.0.0 onwards, the to_location field is exposed in the Inventory History Output File. Now you can see the to_location value populated when you perform the IHT-51 inventory movement.

FedEx UOM Handling

Currently, Oracle WMS Cloud allows you to configure items at the company level, so weight and dimension values cannot be stored using different system for each facilities. For companies that have facilities that handle imperial and metric systems such as US and UK and ship using FedEx to those two countries, shipping could fail. FedEx only takes Imperial values when shipping to or within the US. In order to prevent shipping from failing, two new company parameters have been added. PARCELDIMENSIONS-UOM and PARCEL-WEIGHT-UOM. The values accepted are IN/CM or LB/KG respectively. This identifies how dimensions and weight are stored for the company, and if you are shipping using FedEx to the US, Oracle WMS Cloud will check the parameters and it will make the necessary changes so the request is in the Imperial System.

Wave Pick Information Integration Enhancements

The Wave Pick Info file contains information about items and locations where these items have to be picked. In warehouses that have MHE, this file is typically sent to WCS (Warehouse Control Systems) that eventually control PTL (Pick To Light) systems based on this information. In certain warehouses, information in this file is also used by external systems to print relevant labels that need to go on each picked unit.

Apart from the order header and detail information that is already present on this file, version 9.0.0 also includes all of the custom fields from Order Header and all of the custom fields from Order Detail in this file. Custom fields are sometimes used by host systems to send additional information about the order and items ordered. Custom fields on the wave pick info file also help external systems use this information for labels or WCS systems as required.

Order Interface Enhancements for Oracle SCM Cloud

The Order interface now supports fields intended to enhance the ability to build outbound fulfillment integrations with Oracle Order Management Cloud, Oracle Transportation Management Cloud, and Oracle Inventory Management Cloud. The additional fields include reference numbers from the Oracle Order Management Cloud sales order, Oracle Inventory Management Cloud customer shipment, and Oracle Transportation Management Cloud order releases (representing transportation shipments).

Send Output File After Ship OB LPN

You can ship a packed OBLPN (Outbound LPN) out from a facility independent of a load either by using the RF Ship OBLPN option OR if external systems invoke the ship request via the Ship OBLPN API. Currently when an OBLPN is shipped using either option, no file is generated. Version 9.0.0 allows you to generate either the OBLPN Shipping Info file or the LPN Inventory file after an OBLPN is shipped using either the RF option OR the API option.

A new parameter has been added to both RF Ship OB LPN and Ship OBLPN API. You can use this parameter to define which file needs to be generated after shipping an OBLPN using one of these options. You can also leave the parameter blank if no file is required to be generated.

The current OBLPN Shipping Info file that is generated for OBLPNs during a wave run OR generated from LPN Inquiry is modified to include additional fields required for external systems. Apart from existing information, the file now includes the status of the OBLPN, the Load Nbr, Manifest Nbr, Carrier Code, Carrier Type, Inventory Attributes, and Order-related dates.

The LPN Inventory file remains the same as the one which is currently generated through MHE route instruction.

Allocatable and Unallocatable Status Change In Integration

Many inventory history transactions now include if the transaction has changed the materials status to allocatable or un-allocatable. This additional information streamlines integration with external systems such as ERP’s.

Point Of Sale (POS) Interface Serial Number Enhancements

The Point of Sale (POS) Interface supports the transaction types "Sale" and "Return". Version 9.0.0 includes several changes to Point of Sale interface.

Serial Number Length Increased

From Version 9.0.0 onwards, the field length of serial_nbr column is increased to 40 characters in the following input interfaces:

Unsupported Input Interfaces Removed

In the past, Oracle WMS Cloud provided an option to interface order data via two formats called picktickets and storedistro, through the Input Interfaces UI. However, these are long deprecated interfaces and are no longer used and have been removed. Clients need to use the Order interface instead.

XML Support for Additional Input Interfaces

For most input interfaces Oracle WMS Cloud, Web Services is enabled. In other words, apart from file based integration (using PSV/CSV format), currently Oracle WMS Cloud provides Web Service support using XML format for most of the input interfaces. Version 9.0.0 has enabled Web Service support for the following input interfaces listed below:

OAuth2.0 Token Based Authentication

Version 9.0.0 includes support for OAuth2-based authentication for Oracle WMS Cloud REST APIs. This supports integration of Oracle WMS Cloud.

Enhancements to Legacy APIs

Version 9.0.0 introduces the following changes to the legacy APIs. The first one is the permission "common.lgfapi_update_access" which replaces "wms.can_run_ws_stage_interface". This permission allows you to run the legacy APIs. The new company level decimal settings are to be stored and displayed in the system. The following changes are done to the legacy API's, so either the incoming or outgoing data complies with the configuration set up for decimal support:

Update OBLPN Dims legacy API:

Update Tracking Number legacy API:

Create LPN legacy API:

Load OBLPN legacy API:

Update Active Inventory legacy API:

MHE pick_confirm legacy API:

From MHE Distribution Pack legacy API:

From MHE Distribution Short legacy API:

Create LPN API

As warehouse systems become more interconnected, this new API allows external systems, such as manufacturing lines, to create a LPN in the Oracle WMS Cloud.

Consume LPN API

This new API allows you to consume an LPN. This API is useful for clients that need to transfer inventory to other systems such as manufacturing, and this API allows you to record this information. The API allows LPNs in a Located status to be consumed, but the system must send a valid reason code. This information is recorded in an Inventory history transaction IHT-2 consumed container. IH2 is written with the Consume LPN API.

Outbound License Plate Number (OB LPN) to Delivered Status API

When an LPN that is a part of a facility transfer shipment is received at a destination facility, the status of the outbound LPN (OBLPN) is marked as delivered in the origin facility. Currently this feature of updating OBLPNs to a delivered status is applicable only to OBLPNs that are part of a transfer shipment.

Version 9.0 extends this feature to all OBLPNs that are shipped out from a facility. A web based API is available that can be used by external systems to notify Oracle WMS Cloud when OBLPNs are delivered. This message triggers an update of the OBLPN to a DELIVERED status and also the creation of an Inventory History Activity (IHT - 80-Container Delivered) in the system.

User Experience and Usability

The major new features released in the Oracle WMS Cloud 9.0.0 update include:

Updated User Interface Look And Feel

Update 9.0.0 aligns the Oracle WMS Cloud look and feel with Oracle SCM Cloud. This includes the login page, home screen, application colors and icons.

Cycle Count Task Scheduler

Version 9.0.0 provides the flexibility to automatically trigger cycle count tasks creation on predetermined days at regular frequencies via scheduled jobs. This feature helps optimize the cycle count tasks creation process since users do not have to navigate to the Task Creation UI anymore to trigger task creation.

A new job type called Run Cycle Count Tasks is available in the scheduled jobs UI. After the cycle count template is created via the Task Creation UI, all that is required is to specify the name of the template on the scheduled job along with the user name. Tasks are automatically created on scheduled days at the scheduled time.

RF Menu Enhancements

In version 9.0.0, the RF Menu can be set up to have up to three levels. This new feature is beneficial for customers whose users work on multiple areas of the warehouse. It allows you to find transactions faster, and to organize transactions by having them on different levels. You can configure this on the Menu UI.

RF Screen Enhancements

Version 9.0.0 provides extra room on RF screens by adding three more rows of space before the text that displays the environment. This enables you to see additional information for the transactions. The recommended number of columns to configure for RF display is a max of 28 characters.

Also apart from using the regular control keys provided on RF, you can now use customized keys for your convenience. For example, you could choose to use F5 instead of Ctrl+W. A new UI module RFKeyMapView allows you to map frequently used control keys to a key of your choice. After mapping the control keys, Oracle WMS Cloud also allows you to transfer the configurations across their eligible facilities. This is especially useful since hand-held devices among different clients vary and the ease with which certain keys are used on one hand-held may not be the same on a different hand-held device.

In RF, a function key F1 has been introduced, that displays the list of ctrl keys available. If you map default ctrl keys to customized keys, the system displays them accordingly. A new facility parameter HIDE_RF_KEY_INDEX is available that controls if you want to use this feature or not. The Facility Parameter must be set to Yes in order for this functionality to work.

NOTE: Control key mapping is applicable to all RF screens except the main RF login screen. On the main RF login screen, the control keys default to system defined control keys.

Option to Reprocess Failed Messages Coming from MHE Distribution Pack Complete

In warehouses that have a MHE system, after the OBLPNs are packed, WCS (Warehouse Control Systems) use the Distribution Pack Confirmation MHE API to send the OBLPNs packed messages to Oracle WMS Cloud. Sometimes due to the number of API requests coming from WCS, the messages could fail and get marked as an error in Oracle WMS Cloud.

Version 9.0.0 has introduced a new button “Reprocess Failed Record” on the main screen of the From MHE OBLPN HDR UI. On this screen, you can select failed records (only one record can be selected at a time) and hit the Reprocess Failed Record button. This selects all the associated detail records that have failed and submits them for reprocessing.

Enhancements to Display Quantity in Cases

If you deal with inventory in cases and you are required to capture and see the information in cases, the following features are completed to support this need:

Support for Additional Time Zones

In addition to the time zones that Oracle WMS Cloud already supports, version 9.0.0 supports the following time zones:

With regards to the Australian region, version 9.0.0 includes support for additional zones and redefined existing time zones for better clarity as described below:

Expansion of Language Translations

In version 9.0.0, several new languages have been added. The following is a complete list of all the languages supported in the application, both in the browser-based UI and the mobile RF:

Matched Look and Feel of Oracle WMS Cloud with Oracle SCM Cloud Products

Version 9.0.0 changes the look and feel of the browser-based Oracle WMS Cloud UI to match with that of other Oracle Cloud Supply Chain Management (SCM) products. At a very high level, the following changes are apparent in the new version:

Transaction Monitoring and Reprocessing Enhancements

Prior to version 9.0.0, the support team was in charge of scheduling jobs, enabling and disabling existing jobs, and other functions. After version 9.0.0, most of the functionality has been moved to the application, and you can do the following:
