Study Notes

End-to-End Serial Capture

The system considers end-to-end serial capture as both inbound and outbound operations.

Outbound Process

In an outbound process, if users enable end-to-end serial capture, the system treats it as both inbound and outbound operations.
The system performs peaking, packing, and shipping in an outbound process.

Issue Scenario

If users perform an outbound activity and then create an order, they may encounter an issue.
The issue arises when the system tries to ship the order without packing.

Excel Sheet

The Excel sheet shows 34 SKUs with available quantity and lot count.
The allocated and peak quantities are zero, but there is available quantity in the whole status.

SKU Stock Availability

If SKU stock is available in the peak status, it triggers outbound record creation in the lotxid detail.
The outbound record is updated only after the outbound operation, not during adjustment.

Concerns

The concern is that the stock is available, but the system does not update the serials in the lotxid header or detail during adjustment.
The system can reduce inventory and allow stock inclusion with serials after adjustment and peaking.

Root Problem

The root problem is unclear, but it is related to the outbound operation and stock availability.

Testing

Testing involves understanding the outbound operation used by the warehouse and testing various functions, including peaking, packing, and shipping.
The experts need to know how the warehouse performs outbound operations to test the solution.
