Supply Planning Workbench Enhancements
The Supply Planning Workbench includes updates to the Pegging feature and the Date-Based view in 2022.2.
Pegging
- The 2022.2 update displays transactions at end of the pegging chain so that you can view the parent item related to the demand.
- In this release, you can check the View Independent Demand box to show independent demand for some orders.
- When you click the View Independent Demand box, the planning system creates an order hierarchy that displays important parent items and transactions first. This enables you to see which transactions are driving supply and demand. Date-based View
Grid View
The date-based grid view enables you to examine cause and effect by period and forecast trends for an item and location over time.
Graph View
- The Date-Based View graph displays the Adjusted Available Balance Per Period. The safety stock quantity and unit of measure for the graphed item are also displayed in this view.
- After you enter the date-based view, a window opens enabling you to view the plan results grid and a graph of the item’s adjusted available balance. Both the grid and graph view values are calculated based on the planning period selected within this window.
- The graph-view enables you to view available inventory which helps to identify when safety stock is too low.
Planning Purchase Orders Suggestions
This feature update enables you to create purchase orders based on suggestions derived from the planning system. Consequently, your organization will order only the amount of inventory that is needed based on planning parameters. It also lets you view, act, and respond to customer needs on late orders.
Warehouse Management Enhancements
If you use the Manufacturing Mobile app with Warehouse Management, you can also view the enhancements for work order picking. For more information, see Manufacturing Mobile Enhancements. For enhancements to mobile configuration and customization, see SCM Mobile Enhancements.
Re-releasing Lines with Backorders
When items become available for sales or transfer order lines with backorders, you can release them in a wave. The newly committed quantities may be added to an existing wave that already contains the same item line. NetSuite WMS adds them to a new wave, if the pickers have already started to pick the items on the existing wave.
Support for Fulfillable Service Items
Waves can now include service items that have the Can Be Fulfilled/Received setting enabled in their item records. You can add only for sale and for resale service item types to waves. On your mobile device, you can process these items through any of the picking processes. Note that partial picking, bins, and pick strategies do not apply to service items. For information about creating waves, see the help topic Creating Wave Transactions.
WIP Bin Enhancements
If you use Warehouse Management with Manufacturing Mobile, you can transfer items to WIP bins through the NetSuite WMS app. This capability applies to WIP bins that have the Use Bin in Manufacturing Mobile setting on the item record. For more information, see the help topic Configuring Records for Locations With Bins or Inventory Transfers.
Bar Code Scanning Updates
Item Number of contained trade items). If you include both this identifier and the 01 (GTIN) identifier, NetSuite maps only the 01 (GTIN) identifier with the item’s associated alias. For the following mobile processes, you can continuously scan GS1 or composite bar codes with an item’s lot or serial numbers.
- Purchase order receiving (serial numbers only)
- Inbound shipment receiving
- Single or multiple order picking When you scan an item bar code, its lot or serial number appears in the appropriate field within the process. If the bar code includes the ordered quantity, you can also skip its manual entry in the field. After you process a lot or serial number, you can scan another one for the same item. The same behavior applies when you use tally scanning for GS1 bar codes. For more information, see the help topic Bar Code Setup for NetSuite WMS.
