How to setup multiple WIP warehouses for discrete manufacturing for Dynamics AX 2012

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 525

Any suggestion on below scenario:

Let’s take a discrete manufacturing firm produces a Finished Goods product in 3 stages like (Fabrication, Module Assembly, and Final Assembly). Hence physically the production plant is divided into 3 WIP warehouses as the Fab-WIP, MA-WIP, FA-WIP and One Main Warehouse, One Quarantine and one Transit warehouse.

According to the above requirement configured master planning. Main Warehouse refilling to 3 WIP warehouses. There are some raw materials are used in multiple WIP warehouses. Master planning works very well according to the setup and it suggests material planning and capacity planning.  

The issue I come across, for instance XYZ raw material item demand in Fab-WIP of 3 Pcs. In MA-WIP XYZ the same item free stock exist of 10 pcs. When I run Master Planning system suggests fulfilling demand by creating a planned purchase order to Main warehouse and a planned transfer order created MW to FAB-WIP, refilling demand in the Fab - WIP warehouse. Master plan does not consider same item free stock in MA-WIP. I understand based on warehouse refilling setup it works accordingly. There is no functionality to consider any free stock in other WIP warehouses. I tried a couple ways to map this process by changing storage dimension coverage by site only or Coverage by Site and Warehouse etc.., But there is no solution map right way.

Could you please suggest according to the above requirement the above mapping is valid. Please advise me if any suggested right solution based on above requirement.

    If your coverage group ONLY looked at site the MA-WIP warehouse would be considered. It really kind of depends upon the flow of materials and how you have defined the products. So within each WIP warehouse is the production order distinct, meaning an item goes in and is reported into stock in the WIP warehouse to then be used by another WIP warehouse, or if the WIP warehouses are one bucket and there is no real system transformation of the item in the process.

    Ultimately AX works on rules, so one warehouse can feed another, but if it is not there it does not start to look across other warehouses, they could be on the other side of the world!

    The answer to your question depends upon where you start and how the product is viewed through WIP.
