Question:
Hi Experts,
I am working on a requirement in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations related to raw material picking for production orders and need guidance on best practice.
Business Scenario:
- Raw material (Glue) is procured in fixed packaging of 5 Liters (CAN)
- In production, actual consumption is variable (e.g., 400 ML, 500 ML, etc.)
- Physically, warehouse can only issue full container (5L) — partial picking (e.g., 500 ML) is not possible at warehouse level
When I release the production order to warehouse, system generates picking workorder based on required quantity (e.g., 500 ML), but business requirement is to always pick full 5L CAN.
Expected Behavior:
- System should generate picking for full License Plate (5L container)
- Production should consume only required quantity (e.g., 500 ML)
- Remaining quantity (e.g., 4.5L) should stay available at production input location for future use or return
- What is the recommended standard approach in D365 F&O to handle this scenario?
Any guidance, best practices, or real project experience would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!
