SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Warehouse execution in Manhattan Active WM involves operations that move physical stock or overwrite on-hand inventory with no undo, and mistakes like blind inventory adjustments or premature ship confirms cause real financial losses. This Skill provides the operational judgment to classify each action, recognize dangerous edge states, and apply the right approval gate before executing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Operation Risk Classification: A read / write / destructive matrix covering wave release, allocation, task confirmation, receiving, inventory adjustments, holds, and ship confirm, with explicit gating rules for each class. - Edge State & Recovery Playbooks: Causal chains for 23 gotchas (stale on-hand, nested LPN cascades, short picks, double-posted confirmations) plus recovery patterns explaining what can and cannot be undone. - Use Case: Before posting a large down-adjustment to reconcile WMS and ERP inventory, the Skill directs you to re-read on-hand, confirm the physical count, assign a named approver, and reconcile the transaction stream instead of force-matching numbers. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to classify whether releasing a wave and confirming its picks in Manhattan Active WM is a reversible write or a committing action, and what to verify first.

Frequently Asked Questions about manhattan-wms

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely adjust inventory in Manhattan Active WM?

Inventory adjustments overwrite on-hand with no offsetting document, so size the quantity, confirm the physical count first, and use a named approver for large down-adjustments. Corrections require a new opposite adjustment referencing the original ID; both entries stay in the audit trail.

What is the difference between available and on-hand inventory in Manhattan WMS?

Available equals on-hand minus allocated, held, and damaged quantities. Raw on-hand includes unusable stock, so promising against it over-commits inventory that is reserved, on QA hold, or damaged.

Does this skill apply to Manhattan SCALE or only Active WM?

It covers both, but order streaming and real-time publishing are Active WM features only. Legacy Manhattan WMS / SCALE uses batch-wave release and batch ERP interfaces, so streaming logic should not be applied there.

Why did a short pick happen even after a fresh on-hand read?

Active WM does not hard-lock locations during picking, so a concurrent task can confirm between your read and your write. A short pick usually signals on-hand overstated by a missed adjustment, so cycle-count the location rather than just re-picking.

When should I use SAP EWM guidance instead of Manhattan WMS?

Use the SAP EWM skill when warehouse execution runs in SAP with storage bins, handling units, and /SCWM/ transactions. ERP valuation, movement types, and financial postings belong to the SAP MM skill, since Active WM only triggers those postings.
