9 **~1. Information in the SKU graph about adding an ALT SKU to an order.**
10
11 From now on, adding an ALT SKU to an order is specified in the main SKU graph. In the SKU graph, put your mouse over the order triangle, a window will open with information about the order(s) and you will see the ALT SKU code next to the order number.
12
13 **2. Additional information on Quantity on the way.**
14
15 You can see a button in the "On the way Qty." column of the "Assortment" window. The button is active depending on whether there is a quantity on the way or not. Clicking on it opens a window that lists:
16
17 incoming orders,
18 ALT SKUs, if they are on the order,
19 incoming quantities according to individual orders,
20 notes for the SKU, if specified.
21
22 From this window, you can go directly inside the incoming order via the pencil.
23
24 **3. Clarification of ABC mover calculation.**
25
26 From now on, the DTO status is also included in the ABC mover calculations.
27 If the SKU is being revived from NA status, you will see NEW in this column. The exception is when the status of the SKU was transferred to NA less than a week ago - we consider such a case as a human error and do not add the NEW mark.
28
29 = StockM update 10.26.2023. =
30
31 **NA status SKU in Promotions and Seasons.**
32
33 If the SKU is NA and it is included in the Promotion or the Season, then when both the Promotion and the Season start, the system will not change the status of such SKU and will not initiate any actions with it.
34
35 **Removal of SKU cards with status NA.**
36
37 Made a change removing NA status SKUs from StockM. If you decide that StockM does not need to store NA status SKU cards, StockM representatives will make this setting.
38
39 Before the change, the system only deleted NA SKUs that were NA in all warehouses.
40
41 After the change, when this setting is on, there is a 7 days wait after the SKU status is changed to NA. and only then the card in the warehouse is deleted, regardless of the status of the SKU in other warehouses.

43 = StockM update 2023.08.10. =
44
45 **Size of the database.**
46
47 During StockM implementation is agreed upon the amount of SKU buffers planned to be managed in StockM. In other words, the size of the Database.
48
49 Buffers are calculated daily during data exchange.
50
51 Buffer calculation formula:
52
53 1 *TA = 3 *TO = 3 ND = 1 CD = 1 CD2 = 1 CD3 = 5 ALT = 10 NM = 10 NA.
54
55 In the taskbar users can see the new task "Database size" now. Clicking on it will open a window where you will see:
56
57 buffers limit;
58 calculated buffers in the system according to the above formula;
59 how much database % is used;
60 how many separate state buffers there are: *TA,​ *TO, ND, NM, ALT, NA.
61
62 As long as the database size is less than 90%, the task is shown as inactive.
63
64 When the database sizee reaches:
65
66 90% of the buffers in the system, you will see the percentage of the database in the taskbar.
67 100% buffers in the system - you will see the percentage in orange background.
68
69 If the size exceeds the limit by 10% or more, a message about exceeding the set limit will appear.
70
71 You can reduce the number of buffers:
72
73 correctly identifying states. Check to see if there are *TA SKUs that are actually *TOs or NMs. Or maybe there are SKUs you can transfer to NA.
74 check the warning "SKU data is absent more than 7 days" - you may no longer manage them in StockM, transfer them to NA.
75 You can usually see NA SKU history for 3 months. (according to setting in SM Admin). Can be set to delete a NA SKU when it is NA in all warehouses. Contact StockM to change the setting.
76 look at warehouses, maybe there are some that you are not working with, but they are still active in the system.
77
78 If it is not possible to reduce the number of buffers to the limit, we will contact you about adjusting the new limit.
79
80
81 **Discounts/write-offs in the "Inventory dynamics" report.**
82
83 From now It is  possible to track the change of SKU discounts/write-offs.

97
98 If the customer manages ONLY raw materials (only RM* SKUs) - only RMTA SKUs will be displayed in the graph;
99 If managing mixed SKUs (DT*, MT* and RM*) - the graph will display the situation of A and RMTA SKUs;
100 If you manage only DT* and MT* SKUs - you will see only A SKUs.

142 A new function to estimate and order the additional demand.
143
144 What is the function for? When departmental SKU reservations, PTO orders are high, or their buffers grow significantly, and the supplier is a central warehouse that does not have enough quantity to meet that demand
145
146 How it works? When forming an order to an external supplier, additionally evaluates the SKU demand in the regional departments and, if necessary, orders more to the central warehouse.
147
148 Please contact the StockM team if you need to use this feature.
149
150 The setting is company-wide, i.e. for all SKUs that are supplied to the regional departments from the central warehouse. The additional demand is recalculated with each order creation.

260 **PERISHABLE SKU (PER)**
261
262 StockM has two modules PER and PER2 (additional charge) for managing perishable SKUs.
263
264 Whether a SKU falls under the perishable SKU category is determined by the maximum number of orders the system can create during SKUs shelf life.
265
266 In order to use such a setting, the customer must provide, and the StockM representative must set the threshold for the frequency of order formation in the system.
267
268 Whether the SKU is perishable or not can be seen in the Inventory window in the PER column. If there is a check mark, then the SKU falls under this concept.

307
308 **Distribution of the balance of the center - additional information.**
309
310 When the supplier is a central warehouse, the balance of SKUs in it may not be enough to fulfill the needs of the regions. Therefore, when forming orders, StockM distribute the balance of the central warehouse according to the condition specified by the user in the supplier's card, what to do if the supplier, the central warehouse, does not have enough balance.
311
312 • If StockM was fully distributing the balance in the central warehouse when creating orders, was schowed see 0 in the "After  distribution remaining CW Qty" column in the new orders window.
313
314 • If the quantity was distributed incomplete, you could see the value of the balance in the "After  distribution remaining CW Qty" column.
315
316 • The column value was recalculated only during data exchange.
317
318 • After an update, if a user will increase the quantity of SKUs in any order and that increase exceeds the remaining quantity of CWHs after distributing, you will see a negative value in the SKU row in this column. This is a signal that there is not enough balance left in the central warehouse to fulfill this order. At the same time, you will see a red exclamation mark (!) next to the changed quantity.
319
320 • When sending such an order, the system will inform you that the order could not be sent and that "Remaining CW Qty. is too low to order desired SKU Qty."
321
322 • You will need to confirm if you need to continue the action:
323
324 • If confirmed, the order will be send with the user corrected quantities specified in the order at the time of sending.
325
326 • If you do not confirm, the order will  remain in the new orders window. You will be able to go the inside of the order and correct the ordered quantity. If the quantity is reduced, if the value in the "Remaining CWH quantity after distribution" column changes to 0 or > 0, the message will not apear  when the order is sent. Each SKU quantities correction in the order affects the Qty. of the remaining CWH after distribution.
327

374
375 Cross-Docking functions:
376
377 1. CD - orders are formed by stores, and the central warehouse sends one general order to a supplier. Arrived quantity is distributed to stores according to their orders.
378 1. CD2 - orders for the supplier are formed by the central warehouse, by collecting the current day SKU demand from all stores. And arrived quantity is distributed according to the demand of the stores on the day of distribution.
379 1. CD3 – orders for the supplier are formed by the central warehouse, collecting only the demand of those stores for which the dirstribution will take place on the day of arrtival of this order in the central warehouse. All incoming quantities will be distributed.
380
381 To use the required function, assign the appropriate state (CD, CD2, CD3) for the SKU in central warehouse. If you do not see the state you want, contact StockM.

489 In StockM, it is possible to change the supplier of order via the ordered.csv file, which is transferred to StockM from the customer's accounting:
490
491 * the supplier to be changed it must exist in the system and be active;
492 * after changing the supplier, the order number remains the same;
493 * the information is recorded only when all items are marked with the same supplier (supplier's code);
494 * if different supplier codes are specified for the same order for the items - no changes are imported for the order. In this case, an error is fixed and duplicates are displayed in the error file ftp, error directory.
495
496 **2. Supplemented of the system warning “SKU in the center DTO, in the region DTA, supplier central warehouse, but the product is not OUT muveris”.**
497
498 If the item in the region is DTA, the supplier is a central warehouse, but the supplier does not have the corresponding item card, StockM will inform you in this warning.
499
500 From now this warning sounds like this: „SKU in center is *TO **or doesn't exist** , in region is *TA, supplier is central warehouse, but SKU is not OUT mover
501
502 Check isn't it a mistake. The region may not receive the items.“
