Advanced Warehouse Management – Handling Fractional Quantities in Work Orders

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 165

Hi everyone,

I am working with Advanced Warehouse Management (WHS) in D365 F&O and I’ve come across a scenario that I need guidance on.

Scenario 1 – Pipes:

  • We purchase pipes in EA (each pipe = 10 meters).

  • In BOM, production only consumes 2 meters per operation.

  • I expect that after picking, the remaining stock should be 0.8 EA (8 meters).

  • However, when I release the work order, the system picks 1 EA (full pipe) instead of 0.2 EA.

Scenario 2 – Adhesive/Fevicol Drum:

  • We purchase 1 drum = 10 KG.

  • Inventory is maintained in KG.

  • BOM consumes 100 g per operation.

  • In this case, no WHS work is generated for the pick.

Observations/Questions: I understand that WHS works with full inventory units, but I want to confirm if there’s any standard way to:

  1. Handle partial consumption in WHS work orders, while keeping inventory in EA for items like pipes.
  2. Enable WHS work generation when consumption is in decimals (like KG or meters).
I have the same question (0)

    Hi Shubham, 
     
    Please share the screenshot of your setup of Unit sequence group and also the Decimal Precision for Unit EA. As per my understanding in first scenario, work should be generated for 2 meters instead of 0.2 EA.. is it correct?
