WMS does not reserve according to FEFO

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Islam Ayman Emam 45

It was noticed that when releasing the load to the Warehouse (i.e. create sales work and its replenishment), the system does not look at the location where the oldest batch(s) is found, instead looks at the nearest location containing on hand and allocates it as the picking location for the replenishment work. Although all the setup made for FEFO batch reservation is made and checked on numerous times.

P.S. Standard reservation hierarchy and reservation at the location level is done once I release to Warehouse.

I made all revisions on the setup made for FEFO reservation with no hope. I even tried to investigate if this problem persists on CU10 (our current version).

Can someone help? Did anybody encountered this issue before?

I can email the word document I made upon request.

    Hi,

    Could you try as below?

    Please go to your location directive setups, that is used for the first pick line in your work record. Hit edit query on location directive action.

    Add the table that the batch expiration date located. Go to sorting tab, add the table and expiration date field then choose "Ascending" in the "sort direction" field.

    Hello Fatih,

    Yes I tried this many times, I even tried the Descending order also but with no hope at all.

    even with the Ascending order the system disregards completely any FEFO reservation procedure.

    Hi Islam,

    In your reservation hierarchy, is Batch 'Above' or 'Below' Location?

    Did you try Fatih's suggestion on the Pick Location directive for the Replenishments?

    Hello Guy,

    Standard Hierarchy, Batch Below Location.

    In the Business case we have, the system should allocate and reserve on the location that has the oldest batches (since the items are big and the warehouse workers scan out specific batches for specific customers).

    I can send you a document with the screenshots I made for the process and how it is affected.

    Tried Fatih's suggestion but still not working

    Hi Islam,

    With 'Batch Below', AX will not reserve/allocate stock in a particular location or of a particular batch to the sales order. We have to use the Work to get the right batch.

    Do your items have multiple picking locations?

    Hi,

    I have tried this in my 365 environment as below: 

    • Created 2 batches with same expiration date of their BatchID: 2018-02-28 and 2018-03-31.
    • Created inventory of 10 pieces for BatchID 03-31 in both in Location1 and Location2.
    • Created inventory of 10 pieces for BatchID 02-28 in Location3.

    When I set strategy to None, in location directive action, work is created against Location1.

    When it is set to "FEFO batch reservation" then, application selects Location3.

    Am I missing some setup of yours? It seems to be working fine in my environment. Do you have any sorting or additional criteria in your location directive actions query?
