Production Orders Reserving Registered PO Material Before Product Receipt

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 335
Hi everyone,
I am facing a timing and reservation conflict in D365 F&O between our inbound receiving process and production order release.
Our Scenario:
  1. We receive raw materials against a Purchase Order using the Warehouse Mobile App.
  2. The material is registered in our receiving location (e.g., 'RECV') using a mixed license plate. Its inventory transaction status is now Registered.
  3. At the same time, Production Orders requiring this raw material are estimated and Released.
  4. Receiving location is not part of my location directive of raw material picking type.
The Problem: Because the production orders are released, the system immediately creates a physical reservation against the "Registered" material that is still sitting at the receiving dock.
This early reservation is causing critical roadblocks. When we attempt to post the Product Receipt for the Purchase Order, it fails because the inventory is already tied to the production order. We receive the following errors:
  • "Cannot be reserved because only 0.00 are available in the inventory."
  • "The inventory on-hand related to the quality order did not get blocked. The reason for this could be due to receipt transaction is reserved by issue."
Because the Production Order (the issue) has already physically reserved the inventory, the system cannot post the receipt, nor can it execute the inventory blocking required to trigger our Quality Orders.
My Questions:
  1. How can we restrict Production Orders from physically reserving material that is only "Registered" and hasn't been product receipt yet?
  2. What is the standard best practice to ensure Product Receipts and Quality Order blocking can occur without being blocked by Production reservations?
I have the same question (0)

    Hi,
     
    I understand your situation. Reservations are free and cannot be based on locations which makes this very tricky in D365. 
     
    To solve this you need to create a difference between stock which is just received and stock still not completed with QC. I have handled this in many projects as I am sharing below.
     
    The idea is that the inventory status of the just received item should not be available. As soon as items are registered their inventory status changes to "QA" (Quality assurance)
     
    Only after the quality orders are processed the status changes from QA > Available in case quality order was passed and QA > Blocked in case the quality order was failed.
     
    Now as stock which is still not through quality inspection is having a different inventory status than production orders there is no way production orders will reserve this stock and this solves the issue. All the best production orders with reservations :P Haha 
     
    Not only this solution solves the issue it creates more realistic picture in the system by creating a clear distinction between QC passed items which have inventory status "Available' and items which are just received and pending QC checks thus having status QA.
     
    Setups looks like below 
     
    1 -  Mobile menu and disposition codes brought into picture like this 
     
     
    2 - Now you receive the item and system will automatically give it inventory status as QA and only after quality order processing it will change either to available or blocked depending on the quality order status.
     
     
    3 - Setup quality management module to give proper status post quality order processing.

    Thank you for your response. Mapping this is indeed a good approach.

    However, in our case, most users are working with a mixed LP menu, where the “Use default data” option cannot be configured. As a result, the system prompts the user to choose between a blank value or other available options during the process.

    We would like to avoid presenting this selection to users and instead have a more controlled or predefined behavior.

    Hi,
     
    Thanks for sharing more info and yes if you are using mixed license plate receiving in that case we cannot use the default data option. The second alternate was to manually train workers to select the disposition code during receiving but I understand it is worker driven and will not be perfect. 
     
    Considering above I fear you are only left with the option of using the default item status master to control default status of items but you need consider the impact of this on MRP as all purchase orders will be made initially with status QA and only after quality orders processing it will change to either available or blocked.
