Receive transfer order from Non-WHS warehouse to WHS warehouse

Hi,

I want to receive transfer order from non WHS warehouse to WHS warehouse. Right now the only option to do it seems to be "Transfer order item receiving" or "Transfer order line receiving". But in that case we will have to assign individual LP to each transfer line item which i don't want.

Can anyone suggest any work around to make this process easier?

RE: Receive transfer order from Non-WHS warehouse to WHS warehouse

Use a mobile device menu item with 'Work creation process' = 'Transfer order item receiving and put away' and tick 'Generate licence plate'.

The (receiving) Warehouse will need a 'Default receipt location', which must be License plate controlled. But configure the Location directive responsible for the put away to put the items into a non-LP controlled location (either another location representing the loading bay, or straight in to a put away location).

Whilst AX will give the items an LP Id, it will do it automatically, and the LP Id will be lost when the 'put away' is completed.

RE: Receive transfer order from Non-WHS warehouse to WHS warehouse

Hi Guy,

Thanks for your response. The problem in taking your approach is all my final putaway locations are LP controlled. So even if i receive in Default receipt location, i will have to manually do the movement to final locations which is not correct. The problem which i am facing now is my Location directives are configured to put to final put-away locations. But in case i am receiving from non-WHS warehouse, i will have to consume so many LP's along with so many final Putaway locations (because i want to direct to empty location). I thought that may be there could be another way we could do this with.

Anyways thanks so much for your response.

RE: Receive transfer order from Non-WHS warehouse to WHS warehouse

Hi Ravi,

What best I have understood from your two posts above is that you want to receive items from non WHS warehouse to WHS warehouse and you do not want to assign LP to each transfer line while putting away the goods.

Which items on the transfer order gets which license plate depends how you are going to put the received items. There can be scenario where i can put all the items coming on a transfer order on one license plate only and there can be another scenario where you can have some items stored on one license plate and remaining on another. So there is no hard rule for that and depends upon your storage capacity of containers and item sizes along with inventory stocking policies.

If you have all you put away locations license plate enabled then you can use the option "Transfer order item receiving" with "generate license plate checked"and to complete the final put away work use "Use existing work" along with "override license plate during put" checked.

For final put away

So you can receive the items on the default receiving location of the WHS warehouse using the transfer order item receiving and AX will create a work to put the items to final put away location. As this stage you dont have to enter any license plate as the "Generate license plate" is checked.

Now use the second mobile device option to put the items from the default receiving location to the final put away location. AX will use the same license plate generated while receiving to be used as the final license plate. You can override the license plate if you want to put the items on another license plate. AX at any stage of the process AX will not ask you to enter license plate at all until you want to override at the final put away location.

Now consider this scenario

Transfer order Qty From warehouse To Warehouse

TO-01 110 NWHS WHS

Transfer order from Non WHS warehouse (NWHS) to WHS warehouse (WHS)

Now while receiving the goods at WHS warehouse on the default location my first container could only store 70 pcs and my second container could store 40 pcs and you use the "Transfer order item receiving" to receive in two steps. (AX will not ask to input license plate)

Qty License plate

70 LP1 (System generated)

40 LP2 (System generated)

Now you will have two work to put these items to final put away locations

Work qty put location

Work 1 70 OXOLLOXO 07

Work 2 40 OXOLLOXO 07

Now as you will process these works AX will use the same license plates LP1 and LP2 for works and you can put the items to locations without having to input any license plate.

Thanks Sagar for your detailed response. The only constraint again in taking this approach is again while doing final putaway by overriding LP’s, we cannt use same LP for multiple items. Finally the output is same as one item in one LP and i cannt keep multiple item in same LP.

Hi Ravi Ujjain,

Let me clear two points here

1> You can use the same license plate for multiple items receiving by using the override license plate option.

2> You can have n number of items on one license plate and you can keep multiple items in the same license plate.

Now let me know why you feel above two points are not possible or what challenge you are facing as I have tried this multiple times.

E.g.

I can always receive 5 transfer order for 110 pcs each and put all 550 pcs to final license plate LP 07 as far as the location of the license plate allows mixed items stocking.

So in this case LP 07 will have 550 pcs on stock. As stated earlier license plate stocking limits is a physical subject and depends on the container type.

Kindly let me know if you still have any concerns.

Hi Ravi,

I'm a bit unclear what you want to happen to the items you receive from non-WHS warehouses.

You say that your Locations are LP controlled, and that you cannot mix items on LPs. When you put these non-WHS warehouse Transfer order receipts in to your final putaway locations, what LP Id would you like them to use? Or are you saying you would like AX to put them somewhere else?

RE: Receive transfer order from Non-WHS warehouse to WHS warehouse

Hi Guy,

When we receive from PO through LP receiving we have option to create ASN. And we can configure location directives to suggest final putaway location. Thus we can have multiple items on single LP as we are receiving through ASN.

Now in my mentioned case as we are not receiving Transfer order from WHS enabled warehouse. So obviously we cannot have load created for this TO. So the option to receive is Transfer order item receiving. Suppose we have 100 lines on the TO. So first option is i keep on receiving Items line by line, system asking LP for each line item. System has already generated work to putaway at the final location according to location directive. Other way is your suggested way in which i will use create LP at time of receiving and then use separate menu item for putaway.

The problem is even if i override the final LP at the time of putaway to the original physical LP, system will not allow me to keep another item on the same LP. Its saying LP is not valid. The location profiles are also set to allow mix item also mix inventory status.

I just want to receive the TO same as PO in which i already have pre defined LP in ASN. But thats not possible. So i asked any easy way to do it.

Hi Ravi,

Have you looked at the Mixed LP receive functionality?:

It was updated at some point, to also work with Transfer orders:

RE: Receive transfer order from Non-WHS warehouse to WHS warehouse

This problem is because i have created location directive with strategy as empty location with no incoming work. So for each transfer line system is suggesting different putaway location work. First time while overriding LP i am able to put actual LP. But for second transfer line it will not allow as LP is already there in location of first line.

I hope you get my query now.

RE: Receive transfer order from Non-WHS warehouse to WHS warehouse

Thanks Guy. I tried mixed LP. But we cannot use location directive to direct TO work on basis of LP. There is no option in transfer order receipt location dirctive to locate by mixed LP. So even if we mix items on the same LP, system will suggest different putaway location for each line item. Its very strange because in this case suppose i receive two items in transfer receipt. I put LP1 as the LP number and complete LP. System is creating two different putaway work lines to different location but LP is same.
