Physical dimension by product variant

Hi,

as far as i can tell, even the latest Update Version of 365 for Operations and Finance, does not support

"PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS by PRODUCT VARIANT" meaning, having different physical dimensions for multiple Variants of the same Product. This seems to be a massive Gap, since one of the most common Product dimensions is "SIZE". This really throws us back with a customer, since physical dimensions are crucial for using Containerization. Customization seems very adventurous fiddling around with queries in containerization?

1. Has anyone had a decent work around for this issue?

2. i know this feature has been on the roadmap for developement, who has got inside to if this is acutally gonna happen, and when?

Hi Ruben,

There is nothing about this topic on Dynamics Roadmap. On Dynamics Ideas, I found this, but it does not have much support:

https://ideas.dynamics.com/ideas/dynamics-operations/ID0001650

I do not know of any work around; I can only tell you that something exists for this in the Blue Horseshoe AWAX product, but I have not used this part myself.

So the idea you postet somehow does not fit my requirement to the fullest. i have postet this idea myself. it only has 9 likes so far, so i dont expect Microsoft to fix this.

Hi Ruben,

Sorry, since the Ideas site got a new URL, old links seem to point to completely unrelated Ideas! There are a couple of Ideas related to Product Variants and Dimensions, but for me, none are as clearly written as yours!

This week's news that Microsoft have licensed functionality from the Blue Horseshoe AWAX product should give you some encouragement that this will get added eventually.

Maybe the new custom fields can be used for reference data but here will not be any business logic.

Yes, Microsoft just purchased AWAX and ATRAX from Blue Horseshoe. However, it'll take some time to incorporate it. Maybe the fall /winter release.

Maybe you can have an open ended batch number for each size, and hold the sizes as batch attributes -but there would be no business logic.

Otherwise another workaround maybe is to put the size data into the variant description? (Each product (or variant) can have its own description) e.g. "23-Large 10 x 5 x 1'

please check the original post: the whole point of this is for the variants to be working with containerization and volume calculation. its not a solution to put size data in some blank fields, nor use batch attributes.

agreed that's why I said there would be no business logic - its not a solution just as workaround suggestion that might be better than nothing until Microsoft adds the feature - which seems a clear gap given the focus on both retail and wms
