Improved Sales Order Returns
Users can now create RMAs without going to the ERP. Partial pallets can be returned. Returns can also be done for catchweighted product. There is also functionality to allow returns when the origninal tracking number is no longer known.
Detection of Input Method
The system now includes logic to tell if a user has typed or scanned a tracking number. This information is recorded in the lot history. Users can be forced to scan tracking numbers for critical transactions such as issuing and loading. A new security setting can be assigned to managers to allow typing in the case of damaged labels.
Consigned Inventory
It is now possible to track the owner of inventory in Whistle. Inventory owned by a 3rd party is not interfaced into the ERP system. In this way you can track the inventory in Whistle without it affecting the company financials, such as inventory valuation.
Container Update
There is now a new screen that allows users to edit production date, pull date, and user parameters. If you are not using lot tracking in the ERP system you can also update the whistle lot on this screen.
Warehouse Transfer Staging
The staging window now supports staging of warehouse transfers, and loads comprised of warehouse transfers and/or sales orders.
Staging Order Syncronization
It is now possible to configure Whistle to auto-update the staging demand for sales orders.
3rd Party Logistics Account Receivable
It is now posible to generate invoices for storage and handling fee's directly from the whistle system.
Load Planning and Shipping
You can now create loads made up of sales and warehouse transfer orders directly in whistle. These loads can be staged, loaded and shipped as a load. There is a new load ship window that allows for the convenient shipping of an entire load.
New Shipping Reports
There is a new load diagram report that shows pallet position and stop information on the truck. There is a new BOL report.
Tracking Average Weights
In addition to net weight and catch weight, you can now track average weights at the lot level. This makes a unique cases-to-pounds conversion for the specific lot. This conversion is used in all transactions within the system.
Change Collection of Production or Pull Date by Item
You can now setup an item to request either its production date or pull date to be collected at time of receipt. This is useful for times when you receive a production that has an expiration date but no pull date or the other way around.
This date type parameter was added to the container cross reference data by item-pack. The date type needs to be set before upgrading to 3.6.
Vendor Specific Pallet Patterns
Container types can now be attached to items by vendor. This is useful if you have an item that you receive from many different vendors, with different stacking patterns.
The receiving screen now also displays the stacking pattern at the bottom to help the user decide if the pallet needs restacking.
Extended Lot Functionality
It is now possible to tie the production date in Whistle to the lot manufacture date in the ERP system. This can be especially useful when production spans days or if an ERP user knows the manufacture date in advance.
