We are pleased to announce the latest features and enhancements introduced in Increff Omni.
Highlights
We've introduced various exciting features and enhancements that will revolutionize your operations. Here's a glimpse of what's in store for you:
New OMS API Support
Support to capture External Serial Codes while packing in SFS and OMS UI
Support marketplace integration for perishable products
Key Features
Introducing Multi-Pack Box Support in a shipment for Enhanced B2C Order Handling
Seamlessly pack B2C orders in multiple boxes or a single packet, perfect for those with large, bulky items or diverse product categories.
Unlock internal backend configurations for multi-pack boxes and box labels at the channel level. Customize settings to suit your client and channel needs with a simple request to our Omni Success team.
When the 'Allow box label' configuration is disabled, only one shipping label is generated for the entire shipment, even if multiple pack boxes are included. However, enabling it results in the generation of individual labels for each box.
Treat multi-piece shipments as a single entity. The system mandates scanning and manifest inclusion of all packets before allowing manifest closure. This ensures that all child boxes are accounted for and scanned during the handover process.
Below B2C processes/flows will have changes on enabling the B2C Multi Pack Box feature.
Packing Flow
Capturing Package Details during Packing
Manifest Flow
Handover Flow
Introduced Order Custom Attributes
Order & Order Line Item Custom Attributes are used to store additional data related to an order or order item that may not be part of the standard data model.
These attributes are configurable in the Order Management System (OMS).
Order & Order Line Item Custom Attributes can be defined at the client level. These can be created or updated by various systems such as the ERP or Marketplace.
The APIs are available for the creation, updation, and retrieval of custom order and order item attributes
The existing inward/ outward order & order item attribute keys can also be updated.
Support to capturing and mapping External Item Codes while packing in SFS
Clients can use their own external item codes for itemizing products and map those while packing.
Support to capture External Serial Codes while packing in SFS and OMS UI
External Serial Codes field can be used to capture Myntra Tag Loop in SFS and OMS UI. It can also be used to capture an IMEI number or any other identifier.
Product Usability
Added support in CIMS to retry Failed return Orders
Users can fetch and retry the failed return orders using filters like Date range, channel name, or Channel Order ID.
Added an option to remove pack-boxes from an OPEN shipment
Occasionally, extra pack boxes slip into shipments after RMS invoice generation and ERP data transmission. This happens when RMS invoices are generated successfully, but an Omni transaction fails & leaves the shipment OPEN instead of INVOICED.
The challenge arises during user attempts to invoice these shipments using Bulk Invoicing, with RMS demanding the removal of boxes containing untaxed SKUs.
Our new feature allows for easy removal of these extra-pack boxes from OPEN shipments.
Update Channel listing at CIMS
Our enhanced listings upload feature now allows you to effortlessly correct your listings as needed, eliminating the need for manual intervention from the Increff Omni Success team. No more invalidations and re-uploads; take control of your listings with ease.
Added functionality to turn on/off all channels at once in the Picklist Configuration Screen
To enhance efficiency, we've simplified picklist management for warehouse supervisors. Instead of individually toggling picklist release for specific channel orders, we've introduced a master toggle at the top. Supervisors can swiftly switch off/on all channels and activate/deactivate only the ones they need for picklist release.
This enhancement applies to both Default and Express Picking, streamlining your workflow.
Added video conversion functionality from .webm to .mp4 while capturing Return videos
Converting videos from .webm to .mp4 in real-time before storing them in NAS will solve the file format issue when uploading videos for SPF claims on the marketplace portal.
Below are the differences between .webm and mp4:
Size: Size is increasing in mp4 for 5 min video from 100 MB to 224 MB
Time to process for mp4 is increasing from 25 seconds to 37 seconds
Quality of Video: The quality of video increases noticeably
It is compulsory to have the latest Print App version V8 installed on all desktops in all warehouses to effectively start using the Return Video capturing(along with mp4 auto-conversion). Please refer to this document for links to download and follow the steps mentioned in the document.
User Interface / Experience
Revisited the order of CSV headers in product creation and updation of sample CSV template
We have moved the barcode field in the create and update product master CSV upload template to the first column.
Shifted the cancel order option from the left corner to the right corner in the Search Orders screen
We've relocated the cancel order option from the left to the right corner on the Search Orders screen to ensure users don't accidentally cancel orders while resyncing.
