WMS Dock Management Not Working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Greetings Forum!

I've been trying to make use of the WMS Dock Management feature to guide picked shipments into staging lanes, but enforce a one-shipment per staging lane (location) rule.  Unfortunately, when creating work, the system "puts" multiple shipments into the first location. 

Here's a summary of the setup I'm using: 

AX 2012R3 CU11

LOCATIONS:  I have 20 staging locations S1..S20; all of them are on zone "STAGE1"

LOCN PROFILES: The location type is referenced as a staging location on the WMS Parameters form. All have a dock management profile assigned. 

DOCK MANAGEMENT PROFILE: Is set to not allow mixed shipments (although I've tried all the options here with no luck).  The check mark for "assume empty location" is unchecked. 

WORK TEMPLATE:

  • Pick from stock
  • Put to Stage (with Directive code)
  • Pick from Stage
  • Put to Final Ship Location

LOCATION DIR:  for Stage step - linked with the directive code, directs the PUT to zone that holds all the S1..S20 locations. 

When I create three outbound orders (three different loads; 3 shipments) and release them, I would assume that the system would stage the first order in S1, the second in S2 and so on.  However - the work created puts all three orders in S1. I've tried multiple variations of the "release to warehouse" process and multiple ways of structuring waves, but still get the same outcome. 

Can anyone see if something is missing from the setup? Or perhaps there is a bug/hotfix I'm not aware of? 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Hanno,

    I think you need to check the "Multiple SKU" on your location directives.
    Can you show a screen shot of the Work landing page, with the corresponding picks and puts displayed?


    Thanks

    Does your location profile ID for the stage locations have "allow mixed items" unticked?

    Thanks for the reply, Isha.  On my PUT location directives, I have two lines: one without the multi-ski checked and the other with it checked. The location directives are actually working fine. Only the dock management aspect doesn't seem to kick in when determine the location.

    Hello MWAT.  The Stage locations are set to allow mixed items, as all of our shipments move multiple skus. The Dock Management logic is supposed to not allow mixed shipments.

    Hmmm... check your RF menu item configuration to see if you are also anchoring there. If it is anchored then turn it off. Delete and Recreate the work.

    If anchoring is turned on there, then try turning it off.
