A variety of inventory management tasks have had their interfaces updated to display in a redwood theme. Some of these include managing movement requests, reviewing consumption advices, approving physical inventory adjustments, managing cosigned inventory, reviewing completed transactions, managing transfer orders, managing shipments, etc.
There are also a handful of new features in redwood. Such as searching for advance shipment notices using the Supplier Shipment Number field. There is also an update to enter the receipt quantity for each distribution when receiving goods in the Responsive Self-Service Receiving application. Use the Override distribution quantities checkbox and then enter quantities for each distribution and requester.
2. Generative AI
Quick Notes:
Gen AI will help deliver insights into manual accrual clearing data like top reasons for accrual clearing, top supplies, item categories, and highlight any unusual write off needing further review. When you have a high volume of records, Gen AI helps to save time by giving a quick overview at the click of a button.
3. Mobile Inventory
Quick Notes:
Configuration RequiredDescriptive Flexfields and attachment inputs are now available to be utilized on mobile pages.
Mobile Inventory has another update that allows for warehouse operators to record their physical inventory tag counts into the application in real time on a mobile device. You can scan your items to count the sub-inventory and view items you’ve already counted.
4. Return to Supplier for Credit Only
Quick Notes:
There is a new option for returns to designate it as “Return for Credit”. This will keep the purchase order closed and instruct the supplier to return credit instead of replacement goods.
This update is an optional opt in for now but will become a required update during 25C.
Some points for consideration are that intercompany flows aren’t supported and the checkbox won’t be editable if returning cosigned inventory.
