Assembly to Order – Qty. to Ship Not Updating After Pick

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 35

Hi Experts,

I am working with Assembly-to-Order (ATO) in Business Central using a warehouse-enabled location with the following setup:

Location Setup:

  • Require Receive = Yes
  • Require Shipment = Yes
  • Require Put-away = Yes
  • Require Pick = Yes
  • Directed Put-away and Pick = No
  • Bin Mandatory = Yes
 

Scenario:

  1. I create a Sales Order for a parent item.
  2. Parent item is set to:
    • Assembly Policy = Assemble-to-Order
    • Replenishment System = Assembly
  3. Qty. to Assemble to Order is automatically set to 1.
  4. I release the Sales Order.
  5. I create a Warehouse Shipment.
  6. I create and register the Pick (for assembly consumption components).
  7. After registering the pick, the Warehouse Shipment line shows:
    • Qty. Handled updated
    • But Qty. to Ship remains 0

If I manually enter Qty. to Ship = 1, the shipment posts successfully and the assembly + shipment process completes correctly.

 

My Question:

For normal (non-assembly) items, Qty. to Ship auto-populates after pick registration.

However, for Assembly-to-Order items, it does not auto-fill and requires manual entry.

Is this standard system behavior for ATO with warehouse shipment?

If yes:

  • Is there any configuration or setup that allows Qty. to Ship to auto-populate after pick registration for ATO items?

Or:

  • Is customization (AL event subscriber) the only way to automate this?
 

Any guidance or best practice recommendations for handling ATO with warehouse shipments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
