New Release – 02nd October 2022

Feature 1: Onboarding services for extra support during setup

Impact area:

DEAR Subscription

Introduction:

Many of our customers want expert assistance getting started with their new DEAR subscription. And, DEAR has provided extra support to new customers for many years. Since we are frequently asked for these services, we are providing several options for our new customers to pick from. We also know that when customers effectively configure and learn DEAR, they are more successful and less likely to cancel their subscription.

We’re introducing 3 new implementation plans: Focused, Standard, and Comprehensive are shown on the DEAR pricing page in all regions except the US, as well as additional onboarding services for those customers who wish to use them.

Feature 2: Recommend and enforce FIFO/FEFO Batch/Serial numbers during barcode scanning and WMS picking

Impact area:

Sales module, WMS application

Introduction:

Currently DEAR web portal and WMS application allows pickers to scan and select any Batch/Serial Number while picking stock for sale order fulfillment, assembly orders, or stock transfers. While auto-pick actions choose stock in line with FIFO/FEFO costing methods, there is no check or validation performed to make sure that the item picked is the oldest/first to expire.

With this release, new settings and validation have been added to check that picked items are in line with FEFO/FIFO rules before authorising a pick. This applies to picking for all transactions which result in stock movements, i.e. sales, assembly, stock transfers. It does not apply to components for production however this is planned for a future release.

An additional setting has been added which allows users to exclude expired FEFO items from system actions like recommendations, auto-picking and auto-consuming of items.

Pre-conditions:

Functionality:

Two new settings have been added to Settings → General Settings → Product and measurement settings.

Recommend batch/serial no. for FIFO/FEFO: The following options are available:

Exclude expired batch/serial numbers: When enabled, auto-pick function and batch/serial no. recommendation will exclude any stock with expired batch/serial no. This will also affect MES auto-consume for production.
