AX 2012 R3 WHS Raw Material Picking Releasing work to Warehouse with Full Reservation Required but without Full Reservation

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by FAC.Ansel 1,632

In AX 2012 R3 (CU8), using WHS for Raw Material Picking to a Production Order.  On the Production Order, "Require Full Reservation" is set and works in general.  The issue is when there is NO physical On Hand but there is enough Inventory to reserve, Work is released to the Warehouse for all items, but the items that do not have physical inventory do not appear on the Work.  The whole point of requiring the reservation is to require material to be available before releasing work to the warehouse.  Is there a setting that will only allow Work to be released to the Warehouse when ALL material is available for movement?  I fear I'm missing a check box somewhere.

    Hi!

    I have exactly the same question, testing the setup in CU10. Did you find an answer?

    Hi Ansel Slagle,

    Are you working with the "allow ordered reserved" parameter checked?

    The only scenario I remember is when you have an "In process" work, so there are quantities that are being picked so they can't be phisically reserved against a bulk location.

    Hi,

    I know this thread is a bit old but hoping someone can offer advice.  The Reserve ordered items flag is off in parameters.

    Having a similar issue, works order is released and have work items that are for a qty that is in an inbound location that is blocked for picking as part of its location profile.  The work item "pick" is created with a blank location and the transaction created is for On Order.

    Hi Dave71,

    Which transaction is in "On order" status? When a Work is created lots of transaction records are created so some of them might be in "On order" status.

    If you close the inbound pending work, and then start executing the other work typing manually the location id that is blank, are you able to perform it?

    BTW, which AX version are you working with?

    Hi Nick,  Using AX2012 R3 CU10.  

    I have 30 of a raw material in a location that is for the oldest expiry date as we use FEFO.  The location profile is set to Inbound dock which uses a location type of Blocked.  My WO Release to WH flag is set to "require full reservation"  I require 80 for my WO.  When i release the stock work items are created of 50 for the actual reservation location and a work item with a blank location for the 30.  If i dig into the transaction i can see that its On order, which i would only expect if i did a partial reservation.

    make sense?

    Thanks for your detailed explanation, Dave71. According to what you say, I think AX is working as expected.

    If you are using FEFO criteria, then I guess your Reservation Hierarchy is a Batch-above-Location one. So when you create your Production Order, you will get "On order" transaction records created for your Raw Material items. Then, according to the time you have set up to reserve your Production Order (on estimation, on releasing), those transaction records will try to reach the "Physically reserved" status. This will happen on a Site-Warehouse-Status-Batch level and the transaction has a "Production order" reference, instead of a "Work" reference. When you set the parameter to "Require full reservation" it means that all your items MUST be available on your warehouse, but it doesn't mean that Work will be correctly generated because this is a task of the Warehouse module.

    If Work can be created, it will check Location Directives and Work Templates setups to decide how to create it. If it succedeed you will get new inventory transaction records created with a "Work" reference, but they will be in "Physically reserved" status only if items were available on a specific Site-Warehouse-Status-Batch-Location level (which doesn't seem to be the case in your scenario). However, if a Work cann't be created properly, doesn't mean items aren't reserved. You can easily check that items cannot be used in another transaction (like transfer order or adjustment because they are reserved on a Site-Warehouse-Status-Batch level by the Production Order, not by the Work).

    Hope I have explained myself. If not just tell me.

    Hi Nick,

    Thanks, and yes i agree with what you are saying, and it seems that the advanced WH man function is creating a bit of an issue, whereas AX4 / 2009/ 2012 non R3 reservations just reserved the stock and you printed pick note etc.

    What i am trying to achieve, is to stop reservations being made on goods in an inbound dock.  as soon as this happens you can no longer move the stock to the pick locs which is causing chaos as you can probably imagine.  Also putaway isn't happening straight away so increased risk of happening as well as can sometimes take hours before putaway.  

    Any suggestions on how this is best achieved when still using FEFO as it cant just be me having this issue, and yes bringing stock in correct exp date order would be a start but that is another story!!

    Reagards and thanks

    Hi Dave,

    I wanted to suggest looking at enabling Stop work on location directive failure (via Location directive failures) for Raw material picking work, but reading on I'm not sure if this will be useful.

    If you have inventory in your warehouse, AX will be able to reserve it unless it is reserved for something else, or has a different inventory status than is required (by the production order BOM/Formula). So one option would be to receive your raw materials with a status, say 'InReceipt'. Then, either change the status of the inventory when you put it away. Or configure the Inventory status change job to run in batch and change the status of inventory in your put away locations.

    Thanks Guy, i will look into that, as currently not using statuses on stock, so that could be an idea as makes perfect sense
