Study Notes

Inventory Property Updates

NGW transactions can update inventory properties without synchronizing changes to the WCS.
Internal Transfer is an example of such a transaction, which allows users to upload transactions via an Excel template.
This process requires users to make the same changes in the WCS, resulting in a 2-step process.
The 2-step process increases the chance of human error.
Both NGW and WCS systems require different templates to upload changes, resulting in double the effort.

NGW Inventory Synchronization Issues

NGW does not synchronize all inventory updates and changes to the connected WCS.
This leads to inventory discrepancies between the two systems.
Inventory being out of sync between NGW and WCS is a resulting issue.
Manual updating of changes in both systems is a current workaround.
Manual updates introduce the risk of human error.
Duplicate effort is required to update both systems manually.
