Receive a lot, 2 times , on a transfer receipt for WMS Location

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by 260
Greetings to all of you.

I will give you an example of my case so that you can understand what is the issue that i am dealing with.

We have 2 locations, Location A and B , both with directed pick and put away enabled and i want to transfer an item from one location to another.

In the transfer order , i will insert one line, lets say item X and qty 200 pieces.
 
The item X is being tracked by lot and all of those 200 pieces have a lot = LOT_X_0001 wihch i assign as an item tracking lines on transfer order lines.

I want to post , partial shipments and receipts.
 
My issue is that if a post a transfer shipment(by doing the warehouse flow as well) for Qty 100, then post a transfer receipt(again with wms) for those 100 pieces and then i post a second transfer shipment for the same item,lot , when i try to post the transfer receipt(through warehouse receipt) , the system does not allow me to add the 100 extra qty on the item tracking line of the warehouse receipt. 

Its like i am unable to do multiple receipts, for the same item-lot , when WMS is enabled , on a single transfer order.

Has anyone faced this issue before? Am i doing anything wrong here?
 
Thank you in advance for your time.

With respect,
Antonis

    Hi @AntonisK,

     

    This is a known limitation in Advanced Warehousing in Business Central when tracking items by lot or serial number in multiple receipts for the same transfer order line.

     

    🧩 What's happening?

     

    Once you receive a partial quantity with a specific Lot No., Business Central locks that lot tracking on the receipt line. When you try to receive the same lot again in a second partial receipt, it fails because the system expects the remaining quantity for that lot to be received in one go.

     

    ✅ Workaround Options:

    1. Split the Transfer Order Line by Lot/Quantity

      Create two lines for item X on the transfer order:

      • Line 1: Qty = 100, Lot = LOT_X_0001

      • Line 2: Qty = 100, Lot = LOT_X_0001


        This allows you to process and receive them separately.

    2. Use a different Lot No. per receipt (if possible)

      Not ideal in your case, but for some scenarios, this bypasses the restriction.

    3. Customization Required

      If lot numbers must remain the same, and you require full flexibility across receipts, you may need a customization to relax lot validation on warehouse receipts — this should be done carefully.

    this is a known behavior when working with Directed Pick and Put-away and lot-tracked items in transfer orders in Business Central WMS environments.
