Detection of Input Method

Users can be forced to scan certian critical transactions such as loading. A new security setting can be assigned to managers to allow typing in the case of damaged labels.

Consigned Inventory

It is now posible to track the owner of inventory in Whistle. Invertory owned by a 3rd party is not interfaced into the ERP system. In this way you can track the inventory in Whistle without it effecting 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.

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 catchweight, 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

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 paterns.

The receiving screen now also displays the stacking patern at the bottom to help the user decide if the pallet need 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 manufacure date in advance.
