Hello all,
a customer of ours requested an functionality, to which I have not been able to find a solution. Perhaps you can help me before I create a concept working around existing solutions.
Following situation, in AX2012 R3 CU12: a production process is active that is being fed from the warehouse. Some material is lengthy pipes on long, mixed pallets (here: license plates), i.e. 50pcs of pipe A, B, C, and D on one license plate. Since single handling takes too long and the pipes do not tend to be required at multiple production areas, the whole license plate incl. excess of the original article and all other pipes not required on a BOM are delivered to production where let's say 10pc of pipe A are consumed right off the pallet, and then the whole license plate with the remainder is brought back after production is finished (which may not be on the same day).
Is there a way to treat the license plate as one uniform item, deliver it to production as is with multiple SKUs (some of which are not required by the to-be-produced BOM), and then return what was not required to the warehouse? It does not seem like I can tweak standard procedures without customization in one way or the other...
Thank you in advance for your help!
