Mobile WMS scanning for Vendor Shipments - any customization or third-party solution?

Hi all,

We're piloting outside processing (subcontracting) in Acumatica for manufacturing and ran into a gap while testing: Vendor Shipments don't seem to be supported in the mobile Pick, Pack & Ship / WMS scanning flow the way Sales Order shipments and PO receipts are.

This matters a lot for us because many of our items look very similar to each other, and scanning the barcode to confirm we're shipping the correct item is a critical control for us — doing it manually on the desktop screen increases the risk of picking/shipping the wrong item.

Questions for the community:

1. Has anyone built a customization to expose the Vendor Shipment screen to the mobile app framework (similar to how Shipments/SO302000 can be exposed for scanning), so it can be scanned like a regular shipment?

2. Is there a known ISV product that supports scanning/confirming Vendor Shipments for outside processing in Acumatica specifically?

3. Is this on Acumatica's product roadmap for the WMS module?

Any pointers, workarounds, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    There is a similar “idea” 

    It would be good if you could also add your use case as described here on this idea too. thank!

      Hi ​@CarlosG 

      I agree with Debbie that it's worth adding your use case to the Idea. In the meantime, here are a couple of workarounds.

      But also for your information, we have built custom scanning screens in the past for different purposes, from label printing to Clock In/Out functionality for Manufacturing, so this is definitely doable. Those could also be exposed to the mobile app. And you’re flexible on how you’d like the scanning process to be built.

      I'd suggest contacting your vendor to explore this possibility.
