Bill of materials journal > initialize "picking" location

Posted on by Markus Kreuter

I setup a BOM and I am using the RAF function on the released product to post the good quantities:

As a result, the BOM journal is created as follows:

How is it possible to initialise the picking location for the two raw materials?

I setup the default receipt locations for those items:

I also setup the fixed locations in WMS setup:

Anyone has got an idea how the locations are initialised to the BOM journal? On the BOM itself it is not possible to define them. Is there a location directive in WMS setup that triggers this?

Thanks!

Markus

Hello Markus,

There are a few options.

1. Resource

2. Resource group

3. On the warehouse

I agree with Laurens. Note that if you choose his options 1 or 2 you will need to set the BOM lines to Resource Consumption. The BOM line then defaults to the input location of the first operation, but the BOM line can be tied to any Op and use the input location of the stated Resource or Resource Group. If you are using Job scheduling, it needs to be the Resource, not the Resource Group.
