Inventory Adjustments v2405 WMS+

WMS+ v3.2405: Under the Hood – Customizable Reason Codes

📊 WMS+ Reason Codes for Inventory Adjustments: The Reason Behind the Why

At Softengine, we believe that sound reasoning should underwrite every business decision – and that’s why, in this release, we’re introducing Reason Codes in WMS+. Our newly developed feature isn’t solely focused on what changes in your inventory are happening but also on why. We’re delivering the tools to bring logic and clarity to your adjustments, helping you make decisions confidently and accurately.

What it Does:

Reason Codes allow you to document the specific reason behind every inventory adjustment. You can use them for returns, damages, promotional allocations, or any other reason required. Reason Codes are directly linked to your financial records, ensuring integrity between inventory changes and accounting.

How it Works:

Users select the relevant Reason Code from the dropdown menu when making an inventory adjustment in WMS+. The selected code updates inventory and financial records simultaneously in real time for seamless tracking and management.

If a Reason Code is required for an item or warehouse, the adjustment process cannot be completed until a code is selected. Additionally, these codes cannot be manually inputted or overridden, ensuring consistency and accuracy across all adjustments.

📝 Why Use Reason Codes for Inventory Adjustments?


Behind every adjustment is a reason. Understanding why
inventory moves how it does allow you to unlock insights to peer beyond the
numbers. However, you customize your codes, whether for returns, damage, or
production tweaks: the Reason Codes let you put the pieces together, so you’re
not just adjusting inventory – you’re adjusting your strategy with purpose.

What it Does:

It provides a way to log and track the reasons behind all inventory adjustments, so every change is tied to a business justification. It improves accountability and creates a clear audit trail for compliance purposes.

How it Works:

Using Reason Codes reduces errors and ensures that adjustments are logged correctly, keeping financial reporting aligned with physical inventory movements. This makes investigating discrepancies easier.

How it Benefits You

📈 Why It Drives Financial and Operational Growth

Our team developed the Reason Codes feature so users can create their own codes and tie them to specific inventory movements and GL accounts to provide more flexibility and better accuracy when adjusting inventory.

What it Does:

Reason Codes create a seamless link between your inventory adjustments and financial records, ensuring that every adjustment is connected to its underlying reason. This keeps your financial data accurate and up to date.

How it Works:

Identifying patterns in inventory adjustments helps Warehouse Managers optimize processes and reduce waste, leading to cost-saving measures and operational improvements that boost your bottom line.

🔧 Flexibility Meets Logic: Customizable Reason Codes

Why settle for a one-size-fits-all solution when your business is unique? Our customizable Reason Codes, created in the Admin Panel, let you apply your logic to your inventory processes. Tailor them to match specific operations like receiving goods, stock transfers, returns, damage handling, and promotional stock allocations, ensuring every adjustment is accurately tracked and linked to your financial systems. It’s flexible and logical, empowering you to grow on your terms.

What it Does:

It’s easy. When logged into the Admin Panel, users can create new Reason Codes and assign them to inventory adjustments in WMS+ as required by your operations. Define codes for internal and external adjustments to improve inventory management.

How it Works:

Once assigned to an inventory adjustment, WMS+ ensures that the codes are reflected in both inventory and financial records, allowing for precise adjustments and greater operational flexibility.

How to Use It:

Specify the amount to be adjusted (either added or removed) to ensure your inventory stays accurate.

Navigate to the Inventory Adjustment Screen:

Go to Inventory ➡ Adjustments in WMS+.

Select or Scan the Item:

Scan the item to be adjusted or select it from the list.

Enter the Adjustment Quantity: Specify the amount to be adjusted (either added or removed)

Confirm:
After entering the information, WMS+ will automatically track the adjustment and update your inventory and financial records.

Choose a Reason Code:

In the Reason Code dropdown, select the appropriate reason (e.g., Damaged Goods, Promotional Use). WMS+ will link the selected reason code to a GL account in SAP B1, ensuring accurate financial tracking and clear audit trails.

Why It Matters: Reason Codes provide essential insights into why adjustments are made, streamlining your processes and reducing errors in financial reporting.

Customizable Reason Codes

Our team developed the Reason Codes feature so users can create their own codes and tie them to specific inventory movements and GL accounts to provide more flexibility and better accuracy when adjusting inventory.

Flexibility: Customize Reason Codes to suit your operational needs, ensuring every adjustment is properly categorized and traceable.

⚙️ Configuring Reason Codes in the Softengine Admin Panel

With the Admin Panel, you can configure custom Reason Codes that align inventory adjustments with your financial records. Each code is linked to the appropriate GL account, ensuring seamless integration between inventory movements and accounting.

Why it Matters:
Reason Codes provide clarity and control, reducing errors, improving compliance, and creating an audit trail that enhances both operational and financial transparency.

How it Works:
In the Admin Panel, you can set up and manage Reason Codes. Once configured, these codes are applied automatically in WMS+ during inventory adjustments.

If a Reason Code is assigned to an item or warehouse, the adjustment process cannot be completed until a Reason Code has been selected. These codes cannot be manually inputted or overridden, ensuring consistency and accuracy in all adjustments.

To Our Valued Partners

At Softengine, we strive daily to develop solutions to simplify your operations and provide meaningful enhancements to meet the evolving challenges of your business. Reason Codes in WMS+ v3.2405 were created with one objective in mind: to give you more control and transparency over your inventory processes, ensuring every adjustment is as clear and traceable as possible.

We’ve introduced this feature because we understand how critical accuracy, compliance, and accountability are for businesses like yours. If you’re managing returns, handling damaged goods, or adjusting stock levels for promotions, the ability to document the specific reasons behind every inventory movement is crucial. By linking Reason Codes directly to your financial systems, we’ve provided the ability to ensure your financial records are accurately aligned with inventory adjustments. The added layer of transparency and control helps reduce errors and improve compliance.

Why did we focus on this? Because our partners have consistently voiced a need for more detailed and auditable inventory management. Adding this layer of control enables you to meet regulatory requirements more easily, minimize errors, and ensure that every inventory movement is justified. Ultimately, it helps you provide better service to your customers, while making processes smoother and more reliable.

Your ongoing feedback and insights have been pivotal in shaping this feature, so it directly addresses the complexities you face in daily operations. Reason Codes are a technical improvement and a response to your requirement for deeper visibility and more granular control over your business operations.

As we continue to evolve WMS+, we are committed to delivering updates to drive your business forward. Your trust and collaboration have been key to these improvements, and we’re proud to partner with you to deliver innovative solutions that help you grow, build loyalty, and exceed customer expectations.

Together, we’ll continue solving challenges and elevating your operations, all while Making Business Simple.

🤖

AI-Engine Customization:

Softengine Web v2403 introduces the AI Engine, transforming how businesses build and use custom workflows while bridging the gap between developers and non-developers. By empowering non-developers with intuitive tools and providing developers with powerful extensibility, the AI Engine delivers unmatched flexibility. The low-code interface allows users to build custom pages quickly using chatbot-style prompts, while developers can extend functionality through the Java-based backend.

From updating customer records to managing user-defined fields, customization is now accessible to all skill levels, empowering businesses to refine customer interactions, promote collaboration and deliver exceptional service all without relying on extensive development resources. Whether it’s creating pages to upsell products, cross-sell services, or generate customer dashboards that update SAP Business One in real time, the possibilities are endless. Our services team can help you transform your traditional workflows into AI-powered processes, ensuring these possibilities become a reality for your business.


🛠️
What It Does & How It Works

The AI Engine operates on two levels, simplifying page creation and embedding powerful AI-driven workflows into your systems:

Custom Page Creation

For Developers: You can create advanced functionality tailored to specific workflows, such as order assistants for suggesting products, recommending shipping methods or automating customer-specific processes. These pages are built to integrate seamlessly into portals, providing robust extensibility for unique business needs.

For Non-Developers: For those of you without coding expertise, you can design pages using intuitive, AI-driven tools. These tools make tasks like generating customer dashboards or enabling real-time updates to SAP Business One straightforward and accessible.

Persistent Chat for Enhanced Development: The AI Engine’s persistent chat retains session context, making it easier for users to refine workflows or iterate on prompts without losing progress.

AI-Powered Workflows

Built on Gemini AI: AI functionality extends directly into B2B and Employee Portals, supporting customer-facing and internal workflows with advanced automation.

Customer Insights: Create tools for conversation summaries, sentiment analysis and trend insights, enabling teams to make data-driven decisions and enhance customer engagement.

Chatbots in Action: AI-powered chatbots can simplify complex processes, such as placing orders, providing product recommendations, and identifying upsell or cross-sell opportunities. These workflows reduce manual effort while delivering personalized, efficient service.

🚛

Logistics Parameters:

Managing logistics for multi-item orders is a constant challenge but also an opportunity to reduce costs and boost efficiency. Real-time insights into weight, volume and pallet size empower you to make informed decisions, optimize pallet usage and control shipping expenses. The feature enhances accuracy while ensuring cost-effective deliveries, turning logistics into a competitive edge. By supporting optimized shipments, this tool reduces costs and improves overall accuracy.


🛠️
What It Does & How It Works

The Logistical Parameters feature calculates total weight and volume for all items in the cart, showing weight in pounds and volume in cubic feet. It determines pallet requirements based on weight, volume or both, helping users ship full pallets whenever possible. Logistics data updates dynamically as items are added or removed from the order. Configuration options in the Admin Panel allow businesses to decide which parameters to display to customers so they can tailor the tool to their operational needs.

🔧
CutRoom UDF Batch Support:

The latest UDF update in Softengine Web’s Production Room delivers added flexibility for batch data entry, allowing admins to configure User-Defined Fields (UDFs) directly in SAP Business One. Admins can now define required fields to capture precise batch details, record additional traceability information, reduce manual input and reinforce accurate data collection.

🛠️
What It Does & How It Works

Batch handling in the Production Room is now more efficient and accurate. Once configured in the Admin Panel, custom User-Defined Fields (UDFs) display directly on the weight input UI, allowing users to record precise batch details as required. Essential information is captured consistently across all production operations and recorded against the batch in SAP.

Scanning batch numbers directly in the Batch Selection Screen allows users to select batches quickly, avoiding manual input or reprinting labels. For businesses using vendor-specific barcodes or non-GS1 batch numbers, scanning offers compatibility that eliminates additional steps or errors.


📲
Quick Batch Selection by Scanning

Batch scanning integrates seamlessly into workflows, from assigning materials to organizing items for packaging or distribution. Accurate batch matching from the start reduces waste and keeps processes efficient in high-volume environments.

⚙️

Network Service Optimization with Amazon SQS:

In Softengine Web v2403, hardware connectivity has been reimagined to meet every day, practical warehouse demands. By integrating Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) into Softengine’s Network Service, your Employee Portal can now connect seamlessly to hardware devices like scales. Scales can send weight data directly through your network, eliminating manual interventions and maintaining the accuracy needed for production workflows. Designed to handle high-demand environments, it guarantees hassle-free hardware integration with Softengine Web, facilitating the free flow of data, so your team can stay focused on meaningful work without interruptions.


🛠️
What It Does & How It Works

Amazon SQS powers Softengine’s Network Service to enable asynchronous messaging between your Employee Portal and devices like scales. Instead of requiring immediate server confirmations, the system queues data until the receiving device is ready to process it and reduces server load for smooth operations, even during peak activity.

The Network Service handles data autonomously, letting production orders and weight measurements flow reliably without requiring lengthy setup and configuration. By managing the back-and-forth between servers and devices, the system minimizes idle time and manual inputs, giving your team the consistency and accuracy needed to keep production moving.

🛠️

Label Watcher Enhancements

Inaccurate or inconsistent labeling can disrupt workflows, delay shipments and damage customer trust. The updates in Softengine Web v2403 tackle these challenges by making label management faster, more precise and easier to troubleshoot. By reducing configuration time and improving accuracy, these enhancements empower teams to maintain productivity and deliver consistent, high-quality results even in high-demand environments.


🛠️
What It Does & How It Works

The new Apply & Refresh button lets users test label changes instantly within the Label Details interface, refreshing previews in real-time.

The Label Fragment field improves visibility by giving clearer insights into tracking label configurations. Default print density is set to 8dpmm (203 dpi), to deliver consistent label printing quality. Additionally, interfaces have been streamlined and sections renamed to make navigation and troubleshooting easier.
