During our discrete implementation, we are using Resource consumption in the BOM and have defined locations on resources so that, when a production order is released, the system automatically creates warehouse work (pick and put).
We have observed the following behavior:
-
When sufficient inventory is available, the system correctly creates the pick and put work with proper pick and put locations.
-
However, when inventory is not available for a BOM line, the system still creates the work order, but the pick location remains blank.
-
-
In this case, no error or warning message appears during production order release — the work gets created successfully but is incomplete and cannot be processed by warehouse users.
We would like to clarify the following points:
-
Is this standard system behavior when using Resource consumption and location-directed work creation?
-
Can the system be configured (through parameters or setup) to stop work creation or raise an error/warning if inventory is not available at the time of release?
-
Is there any recommended best practice (such as enabling Require full reservation before release, using material availability check, or modifying work template queries) to prevent creation of work with blank pick locations?
-
How can the system inform or alert users (e.g., production planner or warehouse supervisor) when:
-
A production order is released with missing inventory, or
-
Work is created with blank or invalid pick locations? Examples: system message, alert or batch job notification
-
- If no standard alert exists, what would be the recommended approach (customization, Power Automate flow, or alert rule) to automatically inform users in such scenarios?
