Divide my work of a sales order into different templates "Whole Pallets" and "Picking"

Hi everyone,

I am trying to generate two work orders (each one from a different work template) from a sales order line, depending on the unit (one for the whole pallets and the other for remaining boxes).
For example, from a sales order line of 45 boxes (1PL = 20 boxes), I want to generate a 2 PL work order with the first work template and another 5 boxes work order with another work template (this one has an intermediate picking area, p.e.)

Best regards,

Roger

Hi Roger Prieto,

Have you tried the split work functionality on the mobile device? If you enable that on your mobile device, you will be able to split the work for work orders. For the 5 boxes scenario one you can use the anchoring process for warehouses. This can also get enabled through mobile device.

For information about anchoring you can see : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/warehousing/configure-mobile-devices-warehouse

Search anchoring & you will get the information.

Please mark YES against the answer that helps you. Thanks

Regards,

Zain

Hi Zain,

I tried some of the features you talked about, but they are not what we are looking for. We need to split the work orders before the workers use the mobile device. However, I just found a proper solution for this. In the different work templates, I activate the option for splitting my work order by maximum packing quantity and it works as expected in almost most of the cases.

Thank you anyway,

Roger

Hi Roger,

There is another way you can do it, which might work 'in all of the cases'!

Specify the Box unit and the Pallet unit on the Unit sequence group, ensuring that you have the relevant unit conversion defined.

On the 'Pick' Location directive, set Restrict by unit on the first Location directive line. Set the Restrict by unit unit to Pallet. Select Allow split.

Create a second Location directive line, on which Restrict by unit is not selected (or, is set to Box).

With this configuration, AX will look for Locations which contain full pallets first, and create Work lines with the Pallet unit. Then it will create Work lines with the Box unit for any remaining quantity.

You can then have different Work templates for each Unit, using the Query to select which unit each Work template is for (Directive unit, I think, is the field to use).

Hi Guy,

I used this way and works perfectly. It is a bit tricky to configurate but it solves my problem completely.

Thank you for answering,

Roger
