• Allocation strategies for outbound orders.
• Putaway strategies.
- A redesigned Wave Planning module that improves usability and efficiency.
- Restructured radio frequency menu screens.

- Improved functionality to select specific products, based on lot attributes as required by outbound orders.
- Configurable support to disable the automatic padding of primary keys with zeros.
- Built-in reports using BIRT, (Business Intelligence Reporting Tool).
- Background report printing that provides the capability to configure reports to print automatically without displaying the report.

Simple System Data Importing:
Import Master Data from Excel Data creation and configuration has been made easy in Infor WM9 BE using the new feature to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into the application database.
This tool is available for all the main data configuration screens,
including:
- Owner
- Customer
- Carrier
- Vendor
- Item Master
- Alternate Item
- Pack Configuration
- Zone
- Location
- Item/Location Assignments
This feature can be executed from within the maintenance screen using the Import button, or from a new screen that provides access for the administrator to run the import process for any information available for import.
Combining this import feature with the export feature previously described allows setup and configuration information critical to the operation to be easily created or modified. For example, to change existing data, it can first be exported to Excel, modified, and then imported back to Infor SCM WM.
