Functional Enhancements

Order Line Status

In order to provide an exceptional customer experience, companies need visibility to the status of  the order fulfillment process.  Now order status can be tracked at the order line level.  

Support Numeric Data Type for Inventory Attributes

Now you can configure Oracle WMS Cloud Inventory Attributes to be either of data type String or Numeric.  You can define formatting rules for numeric attributes.  These formatting rules are validated on the browser transactions, RF transactions, and APIs that support inventory attribute entry.

Update Order Quantity on Partially Allocated Order Details

In order to provide an exceptional customer experience, companies want to be able cancel partially allocated order lines that won’t get fulfilled.  Now you can configure on the Wave Template UI whether to cancel partially allocated order details.

Capture Pallet Weight and Dimensions

You can now capture the pallet weight and dimensions before manifesting shipments and shipping loads.  Users can either manually enter the weight and dimensions in the Oracle WMS Cloud browser or dimensioning and weighing systems can provide the weight and dimensions via Oracle WMS Cloud’s APIs.

Print Labels Securely Using HTTPS Protocol

Previously, we offered Oracle Virtual Private Network for Warehouse Management for an outbound VPN service to print labels securely via an encrypted channel. Now with 20C, the new printing protocols (HTTPS) is available within Oracle Warehouse Management Enterprise Cloud which allows you to print labels securely via an encrypted network connection.

Support Reason Code for Change LPN SKU Transactions

When users are managing inventory via the RF Change LPN SKU (rf.inbound.cwrfchangeskulpn) transaction, the system can now capture the reason code. This enables Oracle WMS Cloud to add reason code information in the IHT- 17 Inventory Adjusted post verification.

Zone Movements

In order to streamline replenishment activity in the warehouse from source locations to different drop locations, to final destinations, and in order to offer the sort of control that avoids confusion, a Build Replenishment Cart transaction has been added to the system to help move LPN’s from one drop location to another.

Additional WMS Cloud Mobile App Screens

Built in Oracle Visual Builder, the Oracle WMS Cloud Mobile app features modern, graphical, mobile screens that can scan barcodes and display images on both iOS and Android-based devices.  This update includes additional pre-seeded mobile UI transactions and features.  The Oracle WMS Cloud Mobile App is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.  The Picking screen allows you to accept and confirm a picking task.  Lock Unload LPNs screen has been added to allow you to lock an LPN or unlock and LPN.

Prompt for Lot, Expiry Date, Inventory Attributes, and Serial Numbers in Receiving

Configuration settings allow for greater control over when lot, expiry date, inventory attribute, or serial number is prompted in receiving flows.  Now you can receive Inbound LPNs and capture multiple lots and/or expiry dates for a given item.  For cartonized receipts, additional messages warn users when lots or expiry dates do not match those provided on the pre-receipt inbound shipment (e.g. Advanced Shipment Notice).

User Experience and Usability Enhancements

Launch OTM Shipments Screen from Oracle WMS Cloud

When shipping loads in Oracle WMS Cloud that have been planned in OTM Cloud, you can now access the OTM Shipments screen including the ability to view the 3D image of the planned load.  This allows warehouse operators to load the trailer more efficiently and save on freight costs.

Combine OBLPN RF UI Productivity Enhancements

In 20C, the system is enhanced so that it pre-populates the 'LPN Type' from the 'To LPN'. Users can choose to override the value even if the OBLPN already has a value.

Print Multiple Copies of Labels

The option to print multiple labels has been added to the Print Label RF and Print Ship Label RF UIs.  You can now configure these screens to prompt the user to enter how many copies of the labels should be printed.

Integration Enhancements

Get Inventory History Details Using a REST API

The Inventory History REST API allows you to query the inventory transaction histories for default Companies and Facilities configured for the user.

Migrate Pre-Built Oracle WMS Cloud Integrations with Oracle Fusion Inventory Management Cloud to Use REST Web Services

The pre-built Oracle WMS Cloud integrations with Oracle Fusion Inventory Management Cloud are mapped to use the Oracle Fusion Inventory Management Cloud REST Web Services.  This allows Oracle WMS Cloud to leverage new features and enhancements to Oracle Fusion Inventory Management Cloud.

MHE Pick Confirmation Error Handling Improvements

When there is a failure to process pick confirmation transactions received from material handling equipment, you can now mark failed records and submit them for re-processing.

Wave Pick Info Interface Enhancements

The Wave Pick Info Interface now provides additional information including Ship to Facility and Customer information used by external labeling and shipping systems.

Outbound LPN Shipping Information Interface Enhancements

The OBLPN Shipping Information Interface now provides additional information including Ship to Facility, Account Number, Payment Method, Pallet information, used by external labeling and shipping systems.
