Greetings!
I have several situations where I need to implement the new 2012R3 Warehouse solution without the use of License Plating anywhere in the warehouse. This is not a problem for most warehouse functions, but of course the PO Receipt process requires an LP-enabled location for the receipt.
I was able to circumvent the initial receipt by using the PO Receipt & Put-away on the mobile device, and simply "put" the item to a non-LP controlled location. The problem is that I still need to "actually" put the items away.
My first thought was to setup the mobile device with a "Create Work" menu item to generate an inventory movement work record, however that seems to add an extra step to the process, since one worker will need to go through the steps to create the work in order for someone else to actually execute the work.
So...I tried to see if I could bypass that and simply create the "real" put-away pick/put pair on the original work template for the Purchase Receipt:
![]()
The idea is that the system would:
- Line 1: Pick from the LP-Controlled Receipt Location
- Line 2: Put to the Non-LP "Receipt" location (the fake put-away to loose the LP#)
- Generate work for lines 3 & 4 (the real put-away) for later.
As mentioned above, when I ran this with only lines 1 & 2 it worked fine. As soon as I added lines 3 & 4 I start getting some issues. Here is an excerpt from the Work Creation History Log:
![]()
The system actually creates all 4 work records, but when trying to execute this work on the mobile device, the system won't actually let you "put" the work in the non-LP controlled location (Line 2 on the above Work Template). Is the system designed to only allow picks from LP-controlled locations when executing Purchase work?
Thanks in advance for any ideas & suggestions!
