Optical Character Reader (OCR)
The latest release of mInventory 7.0 fully supports Optical Character Reader (OCR) SDK. This newly added feature intuitively performs field mapping, collects data and, enables you to create your own OCR use case(s) on the fly. mInventory 7.0 allows you to scan text from the mInventory application, freeing up time and increasing the efficiency of the entire process. As you scan the text, it gets populated into fields automatically, minimizing data entry errors. The OCR field type is RACE configurable and works in both Online and Offline modes for the following modules:

- Cycle Counting
- Transfer Postings

Warehouse Bin Counting—Combo Scan
Single trigger scans of multiple fields were on the wishlists for so many of you that we've built a new feature: Combo Scan for Warehouse Bin Counting, in mInventory 7.0. Now you can quickly scan multiple fields and find and select the line item in a single trigger eliminating the manual filing of quantity. An extremely useful Combo Scan feature is also enhanced for modules such as
- Cycle Counting— Warehouse Cycle Counting and Adjustments

- Layouts based on Metrics, Counts, Graphs, and Lists
- RACE Configurable layout with a defined query to retrieve data and present view based on an attribute of the data set
- Flexible filtering capability based on user preferences scope

Managerial Dashboard Metrics—Only on Desktop (UI5)
mInventory 7.0 includes Managerial Dashboard Metrics for only Desktop (UI5). This allows you to access metrics based on configurable dashboards in the mInventory application. Now, you can configure the metrics for Goods Receiving—Purchase Order module and easily track Inventory Accuracy.
Loading Module
Loading Module is one of the newest elements in mInventory 7.0. You can quickly update the status of a shipment after the loading activity is planned and complete as well as search the shipment documents. You can also directly enter the loading start date and time from the mInventory application and post to the backend. Another added feature in the Loading Module is that your fields, i.e. Delivery and Shipment Number, are RACE configurable.
Offline Failed Postings Reprocessing
One of the most sought-after modules can be found in mInventory 7.0: “Offline Failed Posting Reprocessing”. With this new feature, you can re-process offline failed postings for all the modules of the mInventory application. All offline transactions are saved in the Offline Outbox so that, as you switch to online mode, all valid transactions are synchronized at the backend and get posted automatically. You can process offline failed postings for modules such as Goods Receive, Inbound and Outbound Processes, Transfer Posting and Cycle Counting and Good Issue.
