What's New v8.255
Below are the new features introduced in this version of Khaos Control
What's new v8.252
The following new features have been added to this version of Khaos Control:
025184: New HHT - MOVE_STOCK_CROSS_SITE option missing
KCSL have enhanced new HHTs to allow for group moves between
sites.
Customer needs the ability to move stock items from one site
to another.
Currently this is achievable via the Old HHTs by enabling
the configuration option MOVE_STOCK_CROSS_SITE within the setup of the HHT
website.
KCSL will add a similar option to allow for cross-site group
moves.
An updated Khaos Control application and changelog will be
provided with this functionality. Once the update is applied, please contact
the Support Team to update the necessary HHT files.
A new HHT option called ‘Cross-site group moves’ can be
found in the HHT [ Options | Options ] screen. To enable cross-site group
moves, tick this option and click ‘Next’ to return to the HHT main screen.
After applying the above
Configuration, typical steps for usage would include the following.
With new ‘Cross-site group moves’
option disabled, group move functionality will not change.
With new ‘Cross-site group
moves’ option enabled, stock can be moved between sites via the HHT.
An example usage with new
option enabled:
- In the HHT, go to Group Moves.
- Input source location and
click next.
- Input stock code and click
next.
- Input quantity and click
next.
- In the ‘Destination
Location’, you may type/scan any unique location across any
site.
- Non-unique location names
will give a warning message, but you can still choose these locations
using the ‘Location Lookup’ screen.
- You can also use the
‘Location Lookup’ screen to filter for specific locations as usual.
- Note that when
‘Cross-site group moves’ is enabled, the ‘Location Selection’ dropdown
now also shows which site a location is in.
- This allows for users to
pick from non-unique location names (e.g. an Arrivals location in
multiple sites).
- Choose your location and
complete group move as usual.
