FEATURES: Improve scanning recognition of items with AUOM for sale picking, co-manufacturing locations added to MRP report, select production as an MRP demand source without BOM explosion, and more!
WMS application
The additional units of measure (AUOM) function allows more than one unit of measure to be specified for a product or service. For example, if the same bottle of wine is sold as an individual bottle, a case of 6, and a case of 12. This allows stock levels to be shown accurately across multiple units, for example, if an item can be sold as a single can or a case of 12, Cin7 Core will interpret 12 cans in stock as equivalent to 1 case in stock.
When a WMS user scans a barcode during sale picking and this item is linked to the sale order item via an AUOM, WMS identifies the connection and picks the item. The picked and remaining quantity for the item is converted to the UOM of the scanned item. (e.g. sale order for 1 case of 4, WMS user scans 1 can, remaining quantity will display 3 cans.) No further user action is required.
NOTE: If AUOM product is created using stock adjustment, the batch/serial # will not be accepted and the system will return an error message.
Using the Warehouse Management System – Picking
Sales module, MRP
Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) allows our users to incorporate their supply chain strategies into Cin7 Core inventory management. MRP considers demand from sales and supply from stock on hand, transfers, production, assembly and suppliers to generate supply management suggestions. This determines when products should be produced in-house, bought from suppliers, and delivered from distribution centers
Co-manufacturing location is a special location which lacks some of the features of other locations. This remains the case, however, some extra functionality has been added to allow co-manufacturing locations to be added to the Materials Requirements Planning report as a demand source and to be included as a source of supply suggestions.
With this release, co-manufacturing locations acquire some features of regular locations:

With this release, our team has added the option to include production as a demand source, without selecting BOM explosion. Suggested supply orders will suggest production orders to meet demand. Suggested supply orders WILL be created to meet demand for components, but WILL NOT be created to meet demand for nested components.
This option can be added when configuring MRP run parameters. Please see documentation for further information.
A bill of materials (BOM) explosion displays the highest level of a production or assembly broken down into components at its lowest level. If the parent production or assembly contains components that also have a production or assembly BOM, the nested BOMs are also broken down into components. The available options are summarized below:

Advanced Manufacturing module, MES application
The Scheduler is a feature of Cin7 Core’s Advanced Manufacturing module. The Scheduler helps to assess how long the order should take, determine the resources, and plan in which sequence the operations should be completed. The scheduler also enables you to view dependencies between operations.
With this release, a read-only version of the Scheduler (Production Gantt view only) can now be accessed from the MES application for users with the appropriate permissions. Filters can be applied as in Cin7 Core web. Replanning orders is not available in the read-only MES version of this feature.
