Warehouse work assignment to specific workers

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

I am working with AX2012 CU9 and I am trying to setup a work assignment scenario.

So far I am using principles similar to this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dynamicsaxscm/archive/2014/08/20/how-to-direct-work-for-a-specific-zone.aspx

I split the work into zones and the appropriate workers in that zone.

However, I would like to go a little further and assign work to specific workers.

E.g. 2 workers work in the same warehouse zone and there are 10 open work orders; I would like to assign 5 orders to one worker and the others to the other one.

I tried searching for this online, but no luck.

Is there any way to do this?

Thank you in advance.

    hello,

    Are you expecting an automatic or a manual way to assigne orders to one worker and to the other one?

    You may look to the work pool, you will be able to change pool in the All work list (with open status).

    In very particular case, you can even assign a work to a specific user.

    Hope it will help you !

    Hi Fabrice,

    I would like to achieve both, automatic & manual assignment. However, achieving either would be a success.

    I understand your suggestion, but could you elaborate a bit on how to use the work pool to assign specific work to specific workers?

    Hi Mario,

    I second this. On the "Work" form under the general tab I can see a field User ID, but this field can't be changed. There is also a button in the ribbon bar to change user, but entering a user ID will only add this ID to the "Locked by" field.

    So what I am looking for are 3 capabilities.

    1. Be able to assign (manual or automatic) work to a specific worker

    2. Have the possibility for the worker to see the work that is assigned to him/her.

    3. Have the capability on the handheld for the workers to see a list of work that is assigned to him/her so they don't have to drive back to the printer to pick up new work to perform.

    Is this supported? How?

    Or is this already on the MS roadmap?

    Hi,

    We are also looking for the same scenario that we need to assign multiple works to a worker either manually or automatically in advanced warehouse management process in Dynamics 365.

    Please suggest.

    Thanks

    Well, the manual assignment is available out of the box, from the work form.

    On your screenshot above you can see the button "Change user" - that will lock in this work order for the selected user.
