Bevica enhancements

Bevica has introduced a number of enhancements to the standard WMS operations.

Automatic Reversal / Undo of Picked Stock

Bevica allows you to automatically reverse stock movements when a shipment is no longer required. This ensures that stock already picked for dispatch can be efficiently returned to storage, without the need for manual adjustments.

How It Works

When stock has been picked and is awaiting shipment, but the shipment itself or a shipment line is subsequently deleted, Bevica will:

• Identify any remaining picked quantities
• Automatically create Reclassification Journal lines
• When posted, return the stock to general storage locations

This removes the need for users to manually track and re-enter stock movements.

The process of creating the journal lines is automated, never the less users should regularly review the Reclassification Journal and post.

Key Benefits

• Reduces manual data entry and user error
• Ensures picked stock is not left stranded in staging areas
• Maintains accurate and up-to-date inventory records

Setup: Navigate to Bevica Setup, Warehouse fasttab and populate Whse. Shipment Reclass. Jnl. Batch Name.
