Hi,
We are a manufacturing company. We manufacture the following types of items:
Finished goods to be sold
Finished goods (tools) that are used in the sale but not sold
Tool boxes that we keep the tools in - these tool boxes are sent around the country to be used in sales and we need to keep track of where this tool box is as well as the contents of the toolbox. The contents of the toolbox is pre-detemined and fixed, but can be moved between different tool boxes.
Our locations are currently set-up as follows:
Main warehouse location
Production location
Components location
Every tool box has its own location because the content is defined by a stock keeping unit. The tool box is re-packed/checked for every sale to see if maintenance is required for the tools inside.
Because our main warehouse and production locations are not the same thing, the planning worksheet does not take production orders into account.
We cannot track our tool boxes as the tool box is a location in itself so that we can set up a stock keeping unit for it.
Is there any suggestions on how to set up our locations in order to do the following:
Planning worksheet to take production orders, main warehouse, raw materials store into account.
Tool boxes to be packed with correct tools and number of tools
Tool boxes to be re-usable
Tool boxes to be shipped across the country and tracked like an item
Hi, is it possible to manage not only Location, but also Bin or Zone? This allows for more flexibility in your location management.
In addition, if each tool box has its own location, if it is unique, you can use Lot management (Item Tracking line) to add location information.
Anyway this needs to be discussed in detail, I agree with Inge, you should find a partner to deploy your system.

Hope this helps as well.
Thanks.

I think its hard to give good advice around this in form of a forum posting.
My recommendation will be that you find an experienced partner and maybe have a workshop where you can discuss different ideas around how to solve this.
And maybe you will need some customization to get an optimal solution. Upgrading to a new version on Business Central might also help for some of your issues.
