Can Dynamics 365 Split Purchase Orders into Multiple Purchase Orders to complete warehouse putaway and invoice payments at seperate times?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi Dynamics Community, I am dealing with a non-dynamics user who currently splits its main purchase orders into multiple purchase orders to complete its warehouse putaway activities and invoice payments at different times. This is done to prevent bottlenecks and improve efficiency. E.g.: Product A and Product B are ordered at the same time on the same purchase order but arrive at different times. Note: the timing of arrival is unpredictable with many SKUs in the purchasing range, and the SKUs are placed on the same purchase order to consolidate purchasing efforts inline with customer requirements downstream. Suppose Product A arrives two weeks earlier than Product B, the current process is to split the products into two orders so that Product A can be putaway in the right location and paid two weeks earlier than waiting for Product B to arrive. This therefore improves processing times for putaway and invoice payments. This process is not done in Dynamics by the user but is asked if possible in Dynamics. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how this is possible in Dynamics. If not directly possible, any workarounds in terms of changing the process to best practice or customisations and add-on solutions are great too. Many thanks, Frement.

    Hi Frement,

    It is possible to generate multiple product receipts and invoices for one purchase order in dynamics based on the lines. Whenever you are generating product receipt and invoice, you can select intended lines from the purchase order.

    Is the customer sending the new POs to the supplier before receiving the stock or is this just a pure internal inbound process?

    There is nothing preventing you from using a traditional PO with multiple product receipts which will be turned into invoices and payments.

    Alternatively;

    • Delivery schedules is not fit for you since the timing of arrival is unpredictable.
    • Use purchase agreements and release child POs as soon as products arrive. But you'll need to manage multiple child POs which requires extra effort.

    Lastly, you can do the same in D365FO by changing original order quantities and creating a brand new PO for each product receipt. But there is no split function.
