A bunch more updates in August!

Another month down! With August under wraps, we have another massive batch of product features and updates to share with you.

As I always say on these - note this does not include links to help docs although some may exist, while others are actively being worked on. Be sure to search our help center for specifics and ask in the chat here if you need assistance beyond that.

Without further ado... Here is a summary of the August 2025 Luminous product updates:

Cost‑layer and Bill-of-Material insights

• Cost layer breakdown per SKU (PC‑380). A new cost‑layer Analysis button on the "Costs" tab gives a clear breakdown of how each cost layer contributes to the cost of a specific SKU and identifies potential adjustments and corrections.
• Extra cost lines on BOMs (PC‑330). Bills of materials now support “Extra Cost” line items, and those costs flow automatically into assembly orders.
• BOM component receiving for assemblies (PC‑314). Assemblies can now be completed by receiving individual components, improving inventory accuracy.

Orders, packing and picklists

• Customizable purchase orders & CSV export (PC‑354, PC‑365). Purchase orders now support HTML templated layouts and can be exported as CSV files for analysis or sharing.
• Enhanced picklists and packing slips. Packing slips can be exported directly from fulfilment orders (PC‑329) and now support “lot” and “lot ID” variables (PC‑377). There’s generic picklist display across sales and fulfilment orders (PC‑343) and the ability to create picklists from fulfilment orders linked to a sales order (PC‑342).
• Packing‑action support for picklists (PC‑344). Picklist packing actions now support both sales orders and fulfilment orders.
• See lot‑assigned lines in a fulfilment order (PC‑369). A new view shows all line items with lots inside a fulfilment order.

Fulfilment & logistics

• Scheduled stock push and buffer (PC‑368, PC‑367). You can now schedule a once‑per‑day stock update to connected channels and apply a percentage buffer in addition to an absolute buffer to reduce overselling risk.
• Push shipments to 3PLs (PC‑366). PO Shipments can now be sent as inbound shipments or ASNs to 3PLs and external WMS systems.
• Fulfilment order list improvements (PC‑341). The list page now displays indicators and details for the many relationships and fulfillment statuses.
• Exclude SKUs from auto‑FO creation (PC‑336). You can skip certain SKUs when automatically creating fulfilment orders from sales orders when individual items are fulfilled via a fully external method (like "fulfill with Prime" on Shopify)
• Wave and channel settings (PC‑326, PC‑325). Wave picking for fulfilment orders can be configured by channel with batch of settings to manage the FO throughput to fulfillment channels, and automatic FO generation can be managed per channel.
• Export packing slips from fulfilment orders (PC‑329). Users can export packing slips directly from the FO module for faster warehouse processing and only include the FO, not the full sales order.
• Lot and lot‑ID variables on packing slips (PC‑377). Adds lot identifiers to packing slip variables.

Assembly & production

• Bulk assembly order creation (PC‑328). When lots are present, users can create multiple assembly orders from the sales grid without selecting a lot; orders are created as drafts for later review.
• Estimated ship‑date grouping (PC‑323). Reports can now group data by estimated ship date, helping prioritise shipments.

Inventory & integration

• Depletion summary API (PC‑334). A new endpoint provides depletion summary data for reporting.

These updates provide deeper cost visibility, more flexible order and packing workflows, improved fulfilment and logistics options, and several small quality‑of‑life improvements. More detailed documentation for each feature will be added to the Luminous Help Center.
