The end of year inventory feature should not care about lots, or expiration dates or even locations. Just the ability to count the inventory by entering a sku and and the quantity so a full count can be done without a ton of cycle count prep. More thought may need to go into this but it seems like a feature that would benefit a lot of users who need to conduct a one time count periodically. sug_ax1yqrxryo5dnte 2025-05-07T00:12:51Z 2025-05-07T00:13:12Z To help move stock in accordance with FIFO principles, visibility to receiving dates or PO numbers should be available on the mobile app's Location Move screens. sug_1bcdeasgdvwl0yo 2024-09-20T17:39:57Z 2025-03-28T17:52:12Z It would be nice to have a "Warehouse" variable available for the communication templates. THis would be extremely useful when you have multiple warehouses and you need to know which warehouse is low on stock or out of stock. sug_u26ufhr4aegklo2 2024-09-04T01:51:07Z 2024-09-04T15:48:13Z This is a quality of life suggestion to make the receiving process more streamlined, If there was a way to input all quantities received, lot codes, and expiration dates for receiving PO's. With a CSV import using a standard template, It will reduce a lot of time spent on receiving inventory. sug_ejxx5kcve58287d 2024-06-05T21:57:39Z 2024-06-05T21:57:38Z The ability to link to WFS in the same fashion that you have integrated with Amazon FBA sug_o7vyr3jn6uhkuis 2024-06-03T20:05:50Z 2024-06-03T23:34:50Z within https://app.zenventory.com/orders/allocate-orders Under the Products Tab, When selecting products, allow allocation of all orders with said products, Under Actions, add a button for Allocate selected, (currently only has Mark as Drop Ship) When transferring orders to a 3PL i need to remove all orders that contain products that the 3PL doesn't hold, Able to do this in the order screen, but requires to go through all orders, one product at a time, Screenshot attached, sug_0m2t99i5l2qnukg 2023-06-21T19:57:51Z 2023-06-21T19:58:12Z Spee-Dee Delivery Service is a popular regional carrier in the Midwest. It would be nice to have support for printing labels for this service in Zenventory. sug_e4gk6btrkvm8azo 2023-06-14T23:45:08Z 2023-06-14T23:45:38Z 1. Provide a simple customer-facing public returns portal for order recipients to initiate an RMA for any order fulfilled in Zenventory. 2. Display order contents and allow the customer to select which items are being returned. 3. Ask the customer if they’d like to return or exchange. 4. Provide an option for a return shipping label and RMA document / packing slip 5. When an RMA is created in the portal, create the RMA in Zenventory automatically so it can be returned via the normal Zenventory returns process. 6. Ideally provide an option to trigger a refund at the original order source when received. sug_ghdssjnbwhsv5gk 2023-05-22T14:11:38Z 2023-05-22T16:39:16Z When an item is made inactive it does not delete or archive the item from supplier catalogs. This is causing redundant work by having to maintain the supplier catalogs separate than the item list. Please delete or archive the items from supplier catalogs if an item is made inactive. sug_9cbfv0vdxzyoxta 2023-04-14T22:53:30Z 2023-04-14T22:53:29Z I would like to print all work orders at once. In addition I would like to be able to print 1 picklist for all work orders. sug_40y9bslmpufipao 2023-03-27T22:04:21Z 2023-03-28T20:11:37Z We would like to have more keywords available in the communication rules when receiving a PO. Specifically the item cost on the PO level. This would help us keep our cost strategy in place without having to pull the PO every time to see what the cost was. sug_qb6npudx3jpnjk0 2023-02-27T17:31:33Z 2023-03-03T22:57:06Z IT WOULD BE A GREAT FEATURE FOR THE APP TO HAVE A FEATURE THAT YOU CAN OPT INTO THAT REQUIRES A USER TO SCAN THE MODEL OR SKU OF AN ITEM AND THEN THE LOCATION AND PLACE THAT ITEM THERE OR HAVE IT KICK BACK IF THAT ITEM IS IN THE WRONG LOCATION LIKE WHEN PICKING A SERIAL THAT IS NOT IN INVENTORY. sug_x82w05vywjacbvr 2023-01-11T18:11:40Z 2025-10-02T00:18:07Z You can edit/add supplier entries, but you can't delete them. This is especially problematic because when you clone products it copies the supplier catalog info over. sug_jzicdbcab0ftyao 2023-01-05T17:08:31Z 2023-03-03T14:39:56Z Would be great if user was able to select just the serial number to trace without the SKU. I have had items come back and go under a different SKU so the serial number moves from one to the other. Being able to trace its history would be very valuable. sug_hk8fw7ih2jcovzb 2023-01-04T22:50:05Z 2023-03-03T14:39:49Z When creating a kit it would be great to have the BoM Total automatically populate the in the sale Price field of the item. sug_0fybosxkgwuvsb1 2022-11-25T17:31:29Z 2023-03-03T14:32:24Z When I export any list of orders, via order search or the listed reports, I would like to have an option of which details to include on the csv, which should include all order parameters. Currently exports don't include detail such as shipping address, etc, which makes any reporting or updating tasks much more labor intensive. sug_whgtzj4ruiaabql 2022-10-27T21:55:09Z 2023-03-03T14:28:36Z Users have the ability to search purchase orders by number. Normally they leave the radio buttons for drafts alone since most purchase orders are current but some are drafts. Often they will pull up a purchase order not knowing its a draft and then not be able to create it or receive it. Having the phrase 'draft' on a purchase order when its a draft would be very helpful and prevent a lot of back and forth switching radio buttons etc. Could also just be added into the available XML fields. Thanks sug_ac4i4qolmopttxo 2022-10-25T22:18:40Z 2023-03-03T14:28:15Z Invoices are not emailed to customers. The only way to get the invoices is to log into Zenventory as account owners and download 1 by 1. There should be automatic emails with invoices being sent to our accounts payable contacts. This is standard in SAAS. If this can't be achieved, there needs to be a new permission established for Billing Representative that can only access this section of Zenventory. I don't want our bookkeeper to have Account Owner permissions, and I shouldn't have to login to download the invoice for them on a monthly basis. sug_z4igtsmiqwqny1y 2022-10-22T03:17:16Z 2023-03-03T14:27:49Z Looking to improve financial reporting, Requesting during order pull from all marketplaces to pull in tax data along with order data. Zenventory pulls almost everything from pricing, qty, SKU, and etc. But doesn't pull tax data. Also pushing that tax data into ship station. sug_oubjz2rwphlwnv2 2022-09-08T18:54:09Z 2023-04-14T21:46:40Z The Shipment line items in Shipstation coming from Zenventory have the lineItemKey set as null. Can we send the value in the order line item id: https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/2022-01/objects/LineItem#field-lineitem-id coming from Shopify to lineItemKey when sending it to Shipstation? This information helps us in tying together the order line items with shipping line items when printing packing slips at our end. sug_3kxmqeo1qgjh4mw 2022-08-18T16:33:28Z 2023-03-03T14:14:11Z Shipstation has an integration that allows you to fulfill orders using your Amazon FBA inventory. For any order in shipstation you can send fulfillment requests to Amazon FBA. Once the order ships, Amazon notifies Shipstation and Shipstation notifies the original selling channel automatically. However, Shipstation does not notify Zenventroy that the order has been dropshipped. As a result, the orders stay in the "Orders Ready to Ship" section unless they are manually marked as dropshipped in Zenventory. It would be helpful if the orders could be automatically marked as dropshipped once the orders are marked as fulfilled in Shipstation. This is the feature we are using in Shipstation to create Amazon FBA orders: https://help.shipstation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026141951-Fulfillment-by-Amazon-FBA- sug_pmzulshc7yuepls 2022-08-17T15:24:19Z 2023-03-03T14:13:56Z Direct integration support for Wix stores sug_2cvvexkbatehjwq 2022-08-11T13:44:35Z 2023-03-03T14:12:48Z Ability to add Serial #'s to items already in inventory. I have hundreds of items that I need to add serial #'s to, currently the only way to do this, is remove the inventory, then Receive without PO, and add. sug_betjpjgpjktkxci 2022-08-11T12:33:16Z 2025-01-15T21:07:53Z Ability to pull up Location View on Mobile App while walking through warehouse would help with inventory control. Currently we have to write or print location info, then go back to computer to make changes to anything. Would like to be able to move product while out on the floor. sug_upxmgxt7kzyoslx 2022-07-25T21:43:54Z 2023-03-03T14:09:26Z Being able to search up multiple received purchase orders and print out their material receipts all in one go with select able bubbles like in the inventory screens with a 3 dots option to open all selected and have them populate in one screen to all be printed at once. sug_y3qk5sezs3goia9 2022-07-08T20:56:51Z 2023-03-03T14:04:44Z In Order Picking, Add an unallocate button, to easily unallocate orders from order picking, I see that in Open orders, or ready to ship, and even allocate screens have many options, and it seems like only the Order Picking screen is missing this. sug_ifg36dt7upvzpnn 2022-06-24T19:29:29Z 2023-03-03T13:59:32Z Add a function under "actions" when PO is check boxed to add client charges for Purchase Orders (Receive with and without PO). Preset charges must already exist in the system. sug_a388scbdpjacl6o 2022-06-18T00:09:21Z 2024-08-27T18:59:00Z Some customers require shipments to arrive within a certain window and not ship asap but warehouse also needs time to prepare shipment. 1. This will help the warehouse plan the day for which orders need to go out first. 2. ESD column to be visible under the orders section 3. This field is optional sug_w8zdmgzzg79kpo9 2022-06-16T22:31:42Z 2023-03-03T13:57:39Z Would be great to have a button that allows the user to update a product's default location when they are moving bins/locations sug_5hfnxzeqrz8e0bh 2022-06-16T22:20:20Z 2023-03-03T13:57:39Z For non-conforming inventory, we would like to count it, but mark as "damaged". This way the quantity would still show up on material receipt, but the damaged items would not be added to inventory sug_iflpuegpdbjrnid 2022-06-16T18:06:20Z 2023-03-03T13:57:35Z An option to send any zenventory report automatically (eg. Ship Report, inventory report). 1. option to include which user(s) to send report too 2. option to send for specific supplier only 3. option to send a report at a specific time. sug_fp6zhe7nwfd1r6m 2022-06-16T17:52:17Z 2023-03-03T13:57:34Z Add a CSV import option for associating miscellaneous charges with existing orders (using existing misc charge presets) or Purchase Orders (Receive with and without PO. This will not be for creating new orders, or creating new types of miscellaneous charges - Both must already exist in the system. Columns: Client, Order Number, Process Type (record type), Miscellaneous Charge (preset name), Quantity, Action (Add or Overwrite) If there are errors due to a missing order number, no match found for the charge preset name, or any other missing data, abort the entire import and give the user an appropriate error message. Partially valid lists will not be imported. sug_06ndexhz8wuhnhd 2022-06-16T17:51:00Z 2023-03-03T13:57:34Z An option to scan out a serial number when picking an order without scanning in first when receiving. sug_vakk1i1zbbradk4 2022-06-10T20:29:30Z 2023-03-03T13:55:47Z During our returns process, if we have damaged items that are not being restocked, our clients often ask for photos. If we could have an option to attach a file (photo) to the return that would be great sug_wuppwficzqcexc6 2022-06-08T20:34:45Z 2023-03-03T13:54:38Z It would be nice to be able to adjust inventory from the Zen App. sug_6dyvaat2y6qombd 2022-06-07T19:13:26Z 2023-03-03T13:54:18Z There is currently no report in Zen that allows you to get the inventory cost at a specific date other than today. It would be great to be able to put in a date range and/or ending date to get the cost of inventory as of a point in history. I'm sure accounting people would truly appreciate this report. sug_9ak6nqhcqjjjwcu 2022-06-02T22:37:33Z 2023-03-03T13:53:06Z In the "ready to ship" page, it would be helpful if we could tell which packing slips have already been printed vs those that haven't. For example, If one of our clients has 1300 orders on a Monday, we don’t want to print all 1300 at one time as things because unorganized. Instead, we prefer to print in batches of 200, and as the pickers make their way through the orders we print the next 200 etc etc. Unfortunately sometimes this means that the pickers receive the same packing slip twice since the first ones may be picked but not “shipped”, meaning they remain in the ready to ship area on zenventory. Shipstation has a feature that warns us that we are printing a packing slip twice, which helps to avoid wasted time in the warehouse. Is there a way to set this up on Zenventory? This would be a highly beneficial feature for our high volume clients. sug_oykbzhtjt26omsr 2022-05-12T16:38:00Z 2024-08-27T19:00:11Z Occasionally when we order products from our vendors an item could be discontinued or on backorder where they will not send it. The vendor will still send over the products that are available but for items that are discontinued or not available they take them off the order. We have now received a portion of a PO but the rest is still on the way. We are told by the vendor that in order to still get free shipping we need to order something else and send over the revised PO. This is not currently possibly unless we use a PDF editor. Turns out this happens a bit more than usual right now with all the supply chain issues. Can we enable POs to be edited even after receiving has started? sug_gdiu5ocrzrml9ur 2022-03-21T19:34:35Z 2023-03-03T13:38:08Z Many supplier fields are not available in the data source fields. Having the supplier email would enable a user to copy and paste the email in order to send the purchase order. Right now they have to go to Zenventory > suppliers and click on the email button or copy the email address from there. sug_3esoye9mdygibue 2022-03-01T01:30:21Z 2023-03-03T13:33:40Z Need ability to pull previously completed cycle counts either through a report or API call using date parameters. We have used the cycle count process for year end inventory and it worked pretty well but we had to create a cycle count for each of our 500 locations and it took a lot of time, API scripting would make it a lot easier and prevent missing locations. For past cycle counts: pulling more than just the last 10 cycle counts is necessary. We know we can record the cycle count number and go directly to that in the url but it is again very slow and not automatable. If there is another year end inventory method that is planned in the future that could also fix the issue. sug_ghg9a2ebvcmeqtd 2022-01-03T14:29:13Z 2023-03-03T13:21:38Z Display the character limit of any given text field to the user. sug_3yeyepnuutg01ej 2021-11-27T02:21:26Z 2023-03-03T13:08:19Z allow us to customize what field columns we want to view and sort by in, open orders, allocate, and pick screen. sug_vjbmnkppjkpfcea 2021-11-03T22:11:19Z 2023-03-03T13:03:14Z It would nice to be able to have the ability for an item to be under multiple categories instead of just one. sug_cvalsna9284rz3a 2021-10-26T16:36:24Z 2025-10-02T00:16:48Z It would be great if we could add titles to each automation, maybe even the ability to group certain automations together (ex: shipping automations, inventory automations, etc). Once the automation page starts to get filled up it can be a bit daunting to navigate and I think titles would significantly improve automation organization. sug_owufr8cdoox9hyy 2021-10-25T20:52:07Z 2023-03-03T13:00:32Z sug_iqr55luuv2q8tbv 2021-10-22T23:23:16Z 2023-03-03T12:59:37Z It would be really great if Zen offered Averaging, FIFO, and LIFO options for inventory. Automatically having the assembled item and kits add cost up to the total of their items would be very beneficial. If a parts price is adjusted manually or when received with whatever accounting method is used, the assembled items or kitted items prices adjust automatically. I have been using Zen for almost two years and these options are sorely needed. sug_dwzglif0ka5albi 2021-10-05T00:27:15Z 2023-03-03T12:54:28Z Enable orders "Ship from" Location to be updated in bulk. Currently only able change order "ship from" locations one by one, after many screens. Being able to change the warehouse location in "Allocate" or in "Open Orders" window. Will allow for many orders to be shipped from another warehouse and just auto allocate once changed. Without having to manually pick and allocate orders that can be shipped from that warehouse. sug_bjxg5plxchjefwb 2021-08-26T20:06:02Z 2023-04-14T21:45:43Z Breakdown all charges in CO. Should not be a lump sum charge stated in one line. Separate shipping / handling / quantity. sug_tywmj9ewfyqjxm4 2021-08-26T20:06:02Z 2023-03-03T12:45:28Z 1. Create a manual charge and save the price. 2. Ability to use the saved manual charge in "add client charge" and "add misc. charge" in customer orders to avoid typing repeated manual charge each single time. sug_aymli0afvrmexed 2021-07-29T18:41:04Z 2023-03-03T12:40:16Z Add a button to the purchase order that allows us to export to Excel (CSV or XLXS) format instead of just PDF. Currently to get this you have to go to Reports->Inbound Reports->Purchase Orders Export By Date and then siphon through all of the PO's to find a single PO in excel format. Would be much easier if there was a button to just export to excel for a single PO.
