Warehouse Pickings not respecting Item reservations

Hi all

So I have been working with BC WMS for a while, but I'm facing a new issue. My location has Directed Put-away and Picking enabled, as well as FEFO. As far as I have enough stock, everything works fine. But, in case I don't have enough stock for all my Sales Orders, I want to manually reserve items for each of the SO. I use the Reservation Worksheet for this. So I reserve items for those SO, and create a Warehouse shipment that includes those SO. After this, I create a Picking, but it's not taking into account the amount of stock I reserved for each SO.

I don't really know how the warehouse "decides" how much stock to assign to each SO, and I would like to somehow enforce the system to pick only what is reserved.

Any guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Make sure the "Pick According to FEFO" setting is enabled in your warehouse location

I'm afraid that unfortunately, the short answer is no, reservation does not enforce the exact quantity for picking.

Pick is always created for the lower of the two values: requested quantity or available quantity.

The guide on warehouse availability calculation is published in Microsoft design details: Design Details - Availability in the Warehouse - Business Central | Microsoft Learn

This guide gives some insight into the decision making when setting the quantity for picking.

Hi

Thank you for your answers. Feels strange that pickings allow getting more items than reserved. I have tried with customization and now works as I want to.

Kind regards,
