Register goods without generating work order in WHS

(4) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 211

One of my customers has a specific requirement to receive goods without triggering work creation because they do not have an INDOCK area. Instead, they want the warehouse processes to start directly from the receiving area. The desired outcome is for the goods to be registered directly at the default receipt location configured in the warehouse.

Is there a way to achieve this? I tried deactivating work templates and location directives by setting up a query that does not match any data. However, this approach resulted in errors in the work creation history log, such as "location directive not found" or "work template not found."

They also want to avoid performing any fake PICK/PUT operations or using dummy locations after the goods are registered.

We are currently using the work creation processes 'Purchase order receiving' or 'Purchase order receiving putaway' via the mobile device menu.

Any suggestions or solutions would be highly appreciated.

    Hi there,
     
    I would give setting up a work policy for inbound PO's a try, we've managed to set this up where we register the goods receipt via the Warehouse management app, which creates the goods direct to the inbound dock location.
     
    I've put a link below for you - hope it helps.

    Hi,
     
    You can set the work policies to not create work for the work order type purchase order and for the default receiving locations of the warehouse. If you do not link locations to the policy, it will not work. Default receiving location RECV of the warehouse is linked to the policy.
     
     
    Warehouse default receiving location as below 
     
     
    Now create a PO and receive the same in the mobile device using the menu item which is used in the work policy "Purchase order item receiving and put away" 
     
    Full receiving cycle in mobile device 
     
    No warehouse work generated for the purchase order
     
     
    Item registered on the default receiving location

    Could you have them register goods via the Arrival overview form in the D365 UI instead, if everything going to the same location (assuming not using License plates because you can only auto create LPs through the mobile device)? Then using movements in the mobile device for manual put away, if required.
