Inventory Movement by Template - Directive Code Issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 175

Hi All, 

I've run into an issue with the setup for Inventory movement after Purchase Order receipt and I'm hoping someone has already found the solution for this. 

At the moment we use separate mobile device menus for PO Line Receipt and PO-PutAway to receive to a default location (Receipt) and then PO-PutAway to allow assignment of pre-printed LPs and organization of the received goods to 2 different staging areas depending on the product. This works excellently, but now the hard part!

I had planned to use Inventory Movement by Template to move the goods to their final storage locations but have run into the following issue: 

1. After combining two similar products onto one LP during Put to the staging location, when I try to use inventory movement to put that LP into it's final location, AX requires that I enter each item ID on the LP and put them away separately - Instead of using the location directive I had intended (AKA Multisku).

After reading through the responses to the issue, it seemed like directive codes may have been the answer. However, from what I can see I can't assign Directive codes to an inventory movement work template. And to make things worse, I can only use 1 directive code on the mobile Device menu setup which stops me from differentiation there as well. 

The goal here is to be able to use inventory movement by template to put away goods based on a number of different location directives depending on the items.

GuyUK, any ideas on this one? You're response back in 2015 (https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/139366) gave me hope, but they were dashed upon realizing this was intended to a single bulk area rather than multiple possibilities.

Happy to post more relevant info if needed, just let me know.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions ! 

Cheers,

S

    I think, fundamentally, Movement by template does not support multi-sku LPs. It offers a 'Move LP' button, but I cannot get that to work. Do you have any success with that?

    Hi Guy,

    No unfortunately not. I get the same error you described with "User not in the warehouse".

    Can you think of any other way to enable two put actions on a PO? Essentially they want to receive and put to 2 different staging areas (dependent on product) and then put away to the final destination.

    Hi Crispin,

    Ok thanks, I'll get to work exploring cluster picking and see if I can sort out a solution that way.

    Thanks for the suggestion

    Hi Crispin,

    Not sure how much of the development is NDA to move the multiple SKU LP in your case. Having talked to my team, we'd like to do the same development. Can you share any more information?

    Happy to discuss through email: sbradford@bredetservices.com.

    Thanks in advance for any insight,

    Hi Simon,

    Note that it is possible to Move an LP that contains multiple items using the menu item of type 'Movement'. But this does not get you the functionality to tell the worker where to put the LP. It would only be useful if the worker could decide themselves where to locate the putaway.

    Hi Guy, 

    Ya, the worker would need direction unfortunately. 

    What's the chances Microsoft fixes this? I can't be the first or the only person to want to use MultiSku directed movement in the warehouse am I?

    Simon did you ever manage to solve this issue. I have a similar requirement where I want to use location directives to direct the put-away on Transfer order receiving, but can't use directive codes on the work template for TO Receipt.
