Production pick lists - how to make AX decide what location to use for picking

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I'm familiar with ERP but new with AX, and I'm a bit confused with production pick list logic. We’re using WM II. Could you guys give me a hint where to look?

Currently the system works with default locations which are copied to the production order's BOM and are then used on the pick list. It can occur that a certain item has the default location A and that it's not available there. However it does have inventory for that item present on location B.

I'd like to get the system show location B on the pick list in such occassions. Is this possible?

Thanks!

    What you can do in this case is use reservations instead of default locations.  If you leave the default location blank, and enable automatic reservations on start, you should see the location match where the inventory is.

    Great, thanks! I got initially a bit stuck because changing the production control setup parameter for this did not change the existing orders, but after modifying these too it works like a charm. Thanks!
