Hi,
I would like to move Reserved material for Raw material pick but unfortunatelly that is not possible.
Our case is that we move material Pick->Put(Stage)->Pick->Put(Prodinput)
We would like to be able to move reserved material from the stage location.
Can someone please give an explanation why Microsoft has not activated this function? Since this is working for almost all other work order types.

Movement of Reserved material Raw material pick

Hi Simon and Fasih,

I have a similar issue regarding moving reserved material during raw material picking. In your explanation it sounds like this is a stage location-problem but that is not the case. It is also not possible to move material for the first pick step from the storage location to another location. This is possible for sales order work type.

This is a raw material work order, it is not possible to move the item SE061963 from location A1-1 to A1-10(two storage locations)

I get this error

So my question is; why is this possible for sales order and not production order? If it is about inventory tracking inconsistencies and data integrity issue then why does it work for sales orders?

Hi Simon,

Microsoft has not activated this function primarily because of the potential for discrepancies and data integrity issues. Moving reserved material from the stage location could lead to inconsistencies in the inventory tracking process, as the material would be effectively bypassing the intended production workflow. This could result in inaccurate inventory counts and potential disruptions to the production process.

Hi Simon,

Would it not be possible with an addition pick & put step in the work template for raw material picking?

Hi,

Microsoft designs its software to meet the needs of a wide range of industries and business processes, and certain functionalities may be restricted or configured differently based on industry best practices or specific use cases. Possible reasons for this limitation could include:

Workflow and Process Considerations:

The existing workflow or process design in Dynamics 365 F&O may have been optimized for specific scenarios, and enabling the direct movement of reserved material from the stage location for raw material pick might conflict with established best practices.

Complexity and System Integrity:

Enabling such a feature could introduce complexities in the system, potentially affecting data integrity and overall system performance. Microsoft may have chosen to limit certain functionalities to maintain system stability.

Industry Standards and Compliance:

Depending on the industry, there could be standards or compliance requirements that influence how material movements are handled. Microsoft may have aligned the system functionalities with these standards.

Best regards,

Kevin
