If the tag BN and BBD are assigned to an item and no SN tag is assigned:

  • the SN input field is not shown, and only the item quantity must be entered.

  • New functionality to report shortages

  • New functionality to reverse the sort order

  • New functionality to mark a transport bin as full

  • New functionality to complete the putting process via Transport Bin Empty in case items are missing from the transport bin

🟪 Enhancement: The program logic was optimized for better usability: (686558)

  • When an item with a batch number is scanned in either Pick or Put, the button Continue does not need to be pressed. When a batch number is entered manually, the button needs to be pressed.

  • When a BBD is selected in the calendar, the button OK needs to be pressed. If a wrong BBD is entered, a warning will be shown after Continue is pressed.


List (Creating Replenishments)

Pick

🟩 Bug fix: When the Replenishment program or the entire app was closed during the picking process, users were unable to continue working on their replenishment document. pixi 22.11 allows users to continue working where they left the process. If the program/app is closed and an item has Batch Management data enabled, and only the item code has been scanned, the screen for entering the data is shown again (after turning the screen off/on, or pressing the home button). (686555)

If you select Close, you will close the document without having all the items picked. The missing items will be displayed in the overview in the section Not Picked Items Qty. (662767)


🟪 Enhancement: A new functionality was implemented: Report Shortage. This option is available in the three-dots menu. When you notice a stock shortage during the picking process, you can report the shortage directly while working on your replenishment. The shortage can be viewed in the process in the Inventory program (in pixi Mobile). Additionally, after the document is completed, the missing items are shown as Not Picked Items Qty in the overview. (686940, 696848)


Put

🟩 Bug fix: When items with GS1 codes were put to stock, it could happen that replenishment documents were not completed and transport bins were not released as empty. (686883)

🟪 Enhancement: A new functionality was implemented: Transport Bin Empty. When items are missing from the transport bin during the put process, you can use this functionality to mark the items as unavailable. Once the option is pressed, you'll be redirected to an overview. The items will be booked into the Inventory program in pixi Mobile. (691083)


Scan-In

🟪 Enhancement: Various improvements for items with tags. (666956)
In the tags BBD, BN and SN are assigned to an item:

  • and an EAN/UPC code is scanned:

    • BN and BBD are prefilled with the latest option that is in stock,

    • the SN field remains empty.

  • and a GS1 code is scanned:

    • BN and BBD are prefilled from the GS1 code data

    • the SN field remains empty.

In case the item has only BBD and BN tags assigned, the same rules apply, and only the SN input field is not displayed.
