10 Questions
What is a transaction in NGW that updates inventory properties without syncing the changes to the WCS?
Internal Transfer
What is the drawback of the current process of updating inventory properties in NGW and WCS?
Chance of human error
Why does the current process of updating NGW and WCS require double the effort?
Different templates are required for both systems
What is the benefit of syncing changes to the WCS automatically?
Reducing the chance of human error
What is the significance of using an Excel template in the Internal Transfer process?
It allows users to upload changes to NGW
What is the consequence of NGW not synchronizing all inventory updates with the connected WCS?
Inventory being out of sync between the two systems.
What issue arises from manual updates of inventory changes in both NGW and WCS?
Human error and duplicate effort.
What is the primary advantage of automating inventory update synchronization between NGW and WCS?
Reducing the risk of human error and eliminating duplicate effort.
What is the impact of inventory discrepancies between NGW and WCS on inventory management?
Inaccurate inventory tracking and potential stockouts/overstocking.
What is the underlying cause of the need for manual updates in NGW and WCS?
NGW's inability to sync all inventory updates with the WCS.
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.
This quiz is about integrating inventory management systems, specifically NGW and WCS, to avoid human error and doubling of effort. It covers the importance of syncing changes in inventory properties.
