Production Order BOM Inventory Locations Problem

(4) Share

Report

Posted on by NickLaenen

Hi,

We are facing an issue with Inventory Status in the BOM of a released product / production order. We add a BOM line with a different inventory status as default. When we create a production order afterward, the BOM line in de production order refers to the default inventory status. So the setup of inventory status on the BOM line from the released product is not copied correctly to the BOM Line of the production order.

Does anybody face the same issue and now a workaround?

Hi Nick,

If I understand your problem correctly, you would like to have the default location set-up on released product to auto populate when this item is added to the BOM line.

If yes, then you need to set-up location in default order settings on the Manage Stock of the released product. The location specified on STOCK fast tab will be used by the BOM line.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Amit

Hi Amit,

First of all, maybe it's important to mention we are working on D365FO. The default site and warehouse are correctly setup in the product, the problem occurs on choosing the inventory status within this warehouse..

Kind regards,

Nick

Have you set the Warehouse Item settings? This will drive a default location but I don't know about status.

No worries.

So from the D365 Bible docs.microsoft.com/.../set-up-an-inventory-status

the inventory status is defaulted on the Warehouse.

However , you can override the above by using the form Default Status

which gives you 3 options

Stock - Transfer Orders

Customers - Sales Orders

Supplier - Purchase Orders

It is not possible at standard specify the inventory Status on the Bill of Material or Formula ( if you use process).

Therefore , if you are stating that in your environment you can amend the inventory status on the formula or bill of material line , that would be a change to the standard

Thank you Alessandro! It's still very strange that the inventory status field is available in the BOM of an released product, but is not used when creating a production order out of it... hopefully this will be changed in one of the new releases...

No worries , when you say that is available , do you actually see any value on the Bom?

Could you please take a screenshot ?

HI Alessandro ,

See printscreen below, inventory status is available (added myself...) and values are saved correctly in the BOM version. As mentioned, it will not be copied into the BOM of the production order...

I was able to replicate

So yes , it is a bug that allows you to add the inventory status on the edit form and specify inventory status values.

If you try to specify the inventory status on the grid section you will not be able to.
