Inventory Search Page
The UVOI comes with a new menu section that is available out of the box in the Fluent OMS and Fluent Web Apps. The Search page displays a filter panel and a list of positions as search results. Each position expands into a detailed list of associated virtual positions, accessible via a dropdown.
The top filter panel refines positions based on user-defined criteria, while the inner filter panel focuses on virtual positions. These two filter panels operate independently.
Advanced Filtering Capabilities

The Unified View of offers powerful and flexible filters to refine search results:
- Product Catalog Filter automatically applies the default product catalog upon visiting for the first time, as configured via the fc.oms.inventory.search.product.catalogue.default setting. The selected product catalog determines the product name displayed in the search results table. If the product associated with an inventory position belongs to a different product catalog, the product name will not appear. Instead, only the product reference will be shown.
- Inventory Catalog Filter controls the records displayed by linking to the inventory catalog defined via the fc.oms.inventory.search.inventory.catalogue.default setting. If no default inventory catalog is set, no records will appear.
- Stock Status Filter filters inventory positions by status as defined in the setting.
- OnHand Stock Filter allows filtering based on available on-hand stock. Users can set a range or filter inventory with values greater or smaller than a specific threshold.
- Updated Filter enables filtering by the last update timestamp of inventory positions.
- Product and Location Filters refine inventory positions by product or location. Clicking the filter opens an advanced form where users can search by name or reference. Matched records appear as selectable chips.
Once filters are applied, the panel updates the results to display only the positions matching the selected criteria.
Inventory Position Details
The Search page presents a detailed overview of positions, offering important information at a glance. Users can view the catalog name, associated product, and , along with calculated on-hand quantities and aggregations of quantities. Additionally, it displays the stock status and timestamps for the most recent updates, ensuring complete visibility into changes.

Clicking any quantity cell opens a Type History Drawer, displaying the history of changes for that quantity type.

Each position contains an inner list of associated virtual positions, enabling a more granular view of filtering by , available stock, and virtual stock statuses.

From an position, users can navigate to detailed views:
- By Location: Focuses on inventory specific to a chosen location.
- By Product: Displays inventory details for a specific product, including stock levels across locations and virtual positions.
Both pages carry over filters from the main search but exclude inner filter settings for virtual positions.
Inventory View by Location

The View by page gives a clear and detailed look at a specific ’s . Users can click on a name from the Search page to access this view. The reference will still show if someone doesn’t have the required permissions, but it won’t be clickable, keeping restricted information protected.
This page provides the ’s address, working hours, and a full list of positions. It also includes a filter panel—without the filter—and a detailed inner list of virtual positions linked to each entry. This ensures that all the key details for that are easy to find.
Filters from the Search page carry over to this detailed view, making it easier to continue working with the same data. However, filters from the inner list do not apply. A breadcrumb link at the top allows users to return to the Search page, keeping any previously applied filters in place, even when switching between different details pages.
Inventory View by Product

The by Product page provides a detailed view of information for a specific product. Users can click on the product name from the Search page to access this page. If the selected is incorrect or doesn’t include the product, navigation to the product’s details will be restricted, and only the product reference will be displayed without a clickable link.
On the UVOI by Product page, users can see key product details, such as its name, status, category, and description, along with an image of the product. The page also features a filter panel—excluding the product filter—and an updated list of positions, complete with their associated virtual positions.
Filters applied on the Search page remain active on this page, helping users maintain their focus on relevant data. Inner list filters, however, do not carry over. A breadcrumb navigation link allows users to return to the Search page with their original filters preserved, even when moving between multiple details pages.
