1. Redwood Experience

Oracle is now delivering multiple user actions with a Mobile device rather than a third-party handheld.

Scan subinventories, locators, items, lots, and serial numbers to confirm open pick lines using either a camera-based or device-based scanner. 

Health care providers can enter Periodic Automatic Replenishment (PAR) counts using a mobile device in real time, as well as in an offline mode. The offline mode capability lets you seamlessly perform PAR counts for PAR locations that don’t have Internet connectivity.

Transfer the item in real time using a mobile device. Walk over to the stocking location, scan the location information, scan the item, enter the quantity, and transfer the item.

Issue out goods against an account or account alias using a mobile device, to scan the location information, scan the item, and enter the quantity to complete the transaction.

Record cycle counts in real time while counting the items physically for a quantity-tracked subinventory using a mobile device. Search the cycle count definition and choose the specific subinventory for which you want to record cycle count entries to bring up cards for all cycle count sequences corresponding to a cycle count. Then select a card based on the location for which you want to enter the count quantity.


2. Perform Mass Maintenance on Subinventories and Locators

Quick Notes:

We can now create and update multiple subinventories, locators, and item associations with subinventories or locators simultaneously. The Redwood pages delivered as part of the Manage Subinventories and Locators on Redesigned Pages 24A feature has been enhanced to enable users to create and update multiple subinventories, locators, and item subinventory and locator associations. In addition, subinventories and locators can be created by copying them from an existing subinventory and locator. We can also disassociate items associated with subinventories and locators.

These pages are enhanced to create and update multiple subinventories, locators, and item associations with subinventories or locators by uploading .csv files in a drawer component:

  1. Subinventories
  2. Subinventory Details
  3. Locator Details
  4. Associate Item with Subinventory
  5. Associate Item with Locator
  6. Item Details
  7. Associate Locator with Item

3. Use Enhanced Reporting for Period End Accruals
