Previously, when a record was created, the Absence Categories and Absence Reasons Redwood setup pages displayed the change details listing every field that was populated.

Absence Management and Time and Labor use workday definitions to derive the payment date for shifts that cross the day divide (usually midnight). You can now associate workday definitions with the worker’s work pattern instead of their primary assignment to better align their tasks with their user roles.

The Redwood Calendar now displays the absence duration in the event title for partial day absences. For elapsed schedules and absences with days UOM, the duration is shown in parentheses after the absence type name.

Today, WMS allows you to multi-select a OBLPN (Outbound Created status) and cancel in bulk from OBLPN UI. Also, users could also cancel a packed OBLPN from the Redwood mobile through a one scan, slowing the outbound process.

Today, Warehouses require users to move across multiple screens to confirm whether an IBLPN/OBLPN has attachments tied to its LPN type, which slows processing and adds unnecessary effort.

We’ve enhanced the Mobile Direct Allocation screen-flow to display order completion status and remaining quantities for each order. Introducing these indicators further empowers warehouse pickers by giving them clear visibility of order requirements and progress directly on their mobile devices, eliminating the need to access the UI and helping them efficiently manage their picking/packing process.

In warehouse outbound operations, OBLPNs can be created using combine or repack OBLPNs to improve space utilization and reduce freight cost. As a result, a single OBLPN can include allocations in different units of measure (UOM), such as cases, packs, and units.

We've expanded Pack NC Active (Non-Cubed Picking) to better support real-world warehouse workflows where pickers carry and build multiple outbound pallets/cartons (Outbound LPNs) at the same time.

Rejecting cycle count adjustments creates new cycle count tasks either for the entire location or for specific items, depending on configuration. For MHE-driven cycle counts (counts passed via the Cycle Count List API), the originating MHE must be notified when a recount is needed.

When managing goods under lot control, various situations may require you to split, merge, or otherwise adjust the lot assignments for certain items. For instance, if a weather incident damages your warehouse and only part of a lot is affected, the compromised portion might still be suitable for some manufacturing uses but not others.

When you receive lot or serial control goods with lot or serial numbers mentioned in an Advance Shipment Notice (ASN) or transfer order, it's important to review and select specific lot or serial numbers, instead of automatically accepting all the numbers provided.

Certain roles within your organization, such as supply chain operations managers or regional managers, often require access to data across multiple inventory organizations to effectively oversee and coordinate activities at various locations.
