TRACKABOUT JANUARY 2023 Release Notes
The January 2023 release adds several new features to both TrackAbout Web and TrackAbout Mobile 7 for iOS and Android.
- Physical Inventory comes to TrackAbout Mobile 7
- Export order planning results to Excel
- Reuse Lot Numbers while filling racks
- New TrackAbout Mobile 7 (iOS and Android) features
- TrackAbout Web App Quality of Life Improvements
Physical Inventory in TrackAbout Mobile 7
Previously only available in TrackAbout Mobile 6 (TAM6), Physical Inventory is now available as an action in TrackAbout Mobile 7 (TAM7).
The TAM7 version of Physical Inventory includes all the functionality in the TAM6 version, and adds the option to audit Asset Families. Lookups are also more efficient thanks to caching.
Using Physical Inventory on TrackAbout Mobile 7, your team can easily scan assets with their smartphones and find out which assets, if any, are not where you expect them to be. Physical Inventory keeps a running total of found and missing assets, helping locate missing assets. At the end of the process, you can reconcile the audit through the TrackAbout web app.
Physical Inventory is available as part of TrackAbout's core Tracking module. If you are unsure whether this feature is available to you, please contact TrackAbout Support.
Export Order Planning Results to Excel
Orders > Order Planning — Order planning results can now be downloaded as an Excel (.xlsx) file. The file contains all the order information shown in the Orders results list, including line item details. It can be saved and printed out or shared as an offline backup for drivers, for management reports, or as part of your auditing process.
To download order planning results, find orders using Enter Order Filter Criteria, then click EXPORT.
Reuse Lot Numbers While Filling Racks
Up until now, when you tapped Next Rack in TrackAbout Mobile 7's Rack Fill action you were not permitted to fill two different product grades or qualities using the same lot number. Next Rack now gives you the option to do so, as long as the asset families are in the same Asset Family Collection.
By default, Next Rack will continue to prevent you from changing the asset family. To turn this new option on, please contact TrackAbout Support.
