Release Note
Release Date: February 11, 2025
Introduction
We’re excited to introduce a new enhancement in WMS: SKU Pick-Face Location Management on the Product Details Page. This feature makes it much easier to set up and manage pick-face locations and replenishment quantities directly from the Product Details Page.
Before this update, managing pick-face locations and replenishment quantities was only possible through the Location Master, which limited flexibility and caused delays. Now, with this improvement, any updates made in the Product Master are automatically synced with the Location Master, allowing seamless management of pick-face data from either interface.
Problem Statement
Earlier, WMS users faced inefficiencies in managing pick-face locations:
- Updating pick-face data was time-consuming, requiring multiple steps and navigation between different screens, slowing down warehouse operations.
- Removing or reassigning pick-face locations was challenging, as users had to update each location individually, making the process slow and inefficient.
Key Capabilities
- Allocation of Pick Face at SKU Level: A new section is now available on the Product Details Page (Product View) for managing pick-face locations.
- Two-Way Sync: Updates made in the Product Details Page or Location Master automatically sync across both interfaces.
- Replenishment Quantity Management: Configure minimum and maximum replenishment quantities for each product with ease.
Advantages
- Operational Efficiency: Faster and simpler pick face location setup improves warehouse operations.
- Increased Flexibility: Manage pick-face locations directly from product details, saving time.
- Consistent Data: Automatic synchronization ensures data accuracy between Product and Location Master.

Step 1: Navigate to the Inventory module from the primary navigation panel.
Step 2: In the secondary navigation panel, click on the Product submodule.
Step 3: Select the desired SKU, the SKU Details Page will display.

Step 7: Click Add to save the changes.
Step 8: The updated details will now be visible in the Product and Location Master.
Summary
The SKU Pick Face Location Visibility and Management feature simplifies warehouse operations by providing a more flexible and efficient way to configure pick-face locations and replenishment quantities. This improvement supports streamlined operations and ensures data consistency.
Additional Information
**Pick Face Location: A Pick Face Location in a warehouse is a designated area where products are stored for easy and quick access by pickers. These locations are optimized for order fulfilment and typically contain smaller quantities of frequently picked items to reduce travel time during picking operations.
**Pallet Face Location: A Pallet Face Location refers to a storage area where entire pallets of products are kept, usually for bulk storage. These locations are often used for restocking pick face locations or for handling large-volume orders.
