Two step put away for purchase order receiving using WHS in AX2012 R3

Posted on by DPerko 417

I am trying to set up a business flow for PO receiving that is comprised of two steps. A user will unload a truck and move material to one of three "staging" locations (user decides which one). After the truck is emptied, or at a later time, the user will take the material from the staging area and put it in a directed location.

From what I can tell, the regular Advanced Warehouse receipt will put the material in a warehouse default location with no ability to override and then pick from that location and put in its' directed location.

I know on the sales side I can combine a pick with two puts to go from stock to dock to truck. Is there any logic similar to this on the PO side or would this require a pick/put to stage 1-3 and then a transfer pick/put from stage to a directed location?

Any help would be appreciated -

Dan

    It is possible to introduce Staging in the PO Put away flow, using the same method as you have seen for staging on sales order picking. The screenshot on Page 142 of the Warehouse Management System Implementation Guide shows it as well as I could describe. (Obviously you have to set it up on Work templates and Location directives of type Purchase order).

    The location directive for the Staging 'Put' could find one of any of the three staging locations. You could allow the user to override put locations if they didn't like the location suggested, or they could ask the hand held to 'Suggest' another until it suggested the staging location they wanted.

    Guy - Thanks for the quick reply.  I wasn't sure if that logic would work so figured I would ask first.

    Guy-

    On the work template, if I uncheck Stop work for Pick2, Put1 will go to the default receipt location and proceed that same user to the next step in the flow. Does the user have to perform Pick2, or is that assumed as a part of the flow? The end location is non-LP (silo), so I would like to avoid printing an LP within this process.

    Also, is there any way to direct that Put2 to a blank/null location? Can I point the location directive for Put2 to a Location profile that has no locations?

    Thanks-

    Jeff
