Greetings!
So I received a change request from our logistics department. Currently the shipping details (like bill of lading numbers, container numbers etc) are available in our purchase order headers. Not every order line is shipped at the same time so theoretically every order line should be able to have it's own shipping details.
These shipping details are now being input in an Excel file which is then used to check which shipments are planned/on the way. Additional information stored in this Excel are things like transport costs, mode of transport, estimated time of shipping (ETS), portnames, document numbers etc.
As mentioned before the logistics department now wants to look at the possibilities of storing this information in AX. This information should be stored per order line. As the information is stored per order line the users should be able to input this information into AX in an efficient way (opening a purchase order and filling in the order lines one by one is not considered efficient...)
I'm interested in your ideas or just exchanging some opinions in regards to this. Have any of you had any experience with something like this? What's smart here; create a new form with the logistical information (possibly combining the purchase and sales orders in the form for easy access)? What about newer versions of AX? As I only have experience with the 4.0 version I'm interested in finding out what has changed in this regard in the newer versions of AX.
