Release Summary – August 2024

Overview


Inventory

Expected stock can be tracked and communicated to shop systems via our platform. As a result, expected stock can be made available for sale before it has even arrived at the site or has been produced. If necessary, reservations can also be made on expected stock. Expected stock can be communicated to our systems via purchase orders.

Go here to get more information on making expected stock available for sale.

After a reservation has been assigned to an (expected) stock, our systems constantly ensure that the reservations can still be fulfilled. If reservations cannot be fulfilled anymore (due to, for example, stock becoming broken) our systems will try to re-distribute the reservations on stocks meeting the reservation criteria. In case there is no other stock available, the reservations are still tracked and assigned to a fitting stock as soon as any becomes available.

Outbound inventory describes stock that has already been picked for an order and has been physically separated from other stock. It is placed on an outbound location until being handed over to another party and finally, leaving the warehouse. Previously, users could already define whether stock should be booked out or transferred to a (virtual) outbound location after picking. In addition, it is now possible to specifically mark storage locations and their stock with the OUTBOUND trait.
