Serialization

The Legal Documents functionality is now supported in Serialization transactions. You can implement appropriate legal documents specific to your country when you use Serialization.

After a shipper is created either for sales orders or for distribution orders, the system automatically generates a legal document. As the shipper data updates with picking, pack building, weighing, and pack moves between shippers, the system updates the legal documents.

The Logistics Accounting functionality is now supported in Serialization transactions. You can track outbound logistics charges for sales orders and distribution orders as the shipper data updates with picking, pack building, weighing, and pack moves between shippers.

Only apportion methods 1 and 2 are now supported in Serialization.

The Logistics Charges Detail frame has been added to the following functions for shippers:

The Global Tax functionality is now supported in Serialization transactions for distribution orders. You can implement GTM and specify tax data for distribution orders in different transactions. The system calculates and displays the tax amounts in the transaction trailer frame for your review.

The tax information frame and the tax amounts trailer frame have been added to the following functions:

DO Shipper Unconfirming functionality is now supported in Serialization. You can use DO Pre-Shipper/Shipper Unconfirm (12.19.21) to unconfirm a shipper for DOs before truck loading.

Container charges can now be calculated in Serialization as in standard processing, by setting up a pack code and charge type for the container item. After a pre-shipper or shipper is confirmed, container charges are added to the orders. You can view the container charges in the generated invoice. When you unconfirm a shipper or return shipped goods, container charges are reversed accordingly.

• Manual intervention is now not required for counted unexpected unit packs that meet both of the following conditions.

• The stage of the counted unit pack is New, Pending, Inv Adj, Decommed, Consumed.

• The unit pack only contains items of a single combination of item, lot, and reference.

After you run Inventory Balance Update by Pack (3.16.3.6), the system activates those pack serial IDs.

For pending packs, during inventory balance update, the system also deletes the associated serial detail records.

• Manual intervention is now not required when Quantity on Hand is negative but non-serialized loose inventory is counted. After you run Inventory Balance Update by Pack (3.16.3.6), the system updates the inventory with the quantity counted.

• Untagged Inventory Tag Create (3.16.3.9) is a new function. Using this function, you can let the system automatically create bulk tags for all untagged inventory, both non-serialized inventory and serialized inventory. When you use this function, only bulk tags are considered in preparation for physical inventory for all inventory.

Note: If a serialized pack or loose item is active and its serial detail record is linked to a DO shipper, the pack or item is in reality in transit. The system does not create tags for such items.

• The new Physical Inventory Variance (3.16.19) independent browse is different from Physical Inventory Counting Result browse collection. The inventory data is retrieved independently of the existence or status of physical inventory tags. With this single new browse, you can make a quick analysis of the total impact of the physical counts before updating the inventory.

• During tag counting or recounting by pack, when no location detail record exists, the system now creates a record for either loose inventory or packaged inventory. For packs or serialized items, the system also links the created location detail records to the serial IDs.

When serialized items or packs exist in a site/location/lot/reference combination, loose inventory of the location detail now can be negative when overissue is allowed.

If, due to an inventory receipt or issue movement, negative loose quantity and positive packaged quantity balance each other out, the system now does not delete the location detail.
