Limitation of "Use warehouse management processes"

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 389
Hi all
 
What is the limitations and possibilities in the parameter "Use warehouse management processes" on Storage dimension groups? On items connected to a Storage dimension group with "Use warehouse management processes"  = Yes, I can still perform transactions as purchase, sales, production journals and so on. Is there any limitations I don't see?

    Hi Erik,
     
    For the storage dimension groups, this option ensures that all required storage dimensions are enabled, and you can't change individual settings for them. This does not limiting you from executing transactions via several posting option in the application. Only in case of a warehouse where warehouse management is enabled, it will check if the dimension group has the pre-requisite settings. You can still use the same item in not warehouse controlled warehouses, like 3PL or warehouses in individual stores.

    Hi André
     
    Thank you for your fast respons. If you use a warehouse where warehouse management is enabled and the dimension group has the pre-requisite settings and the item is connected to this dimension group will you be able to perform transactions without using handheld?

    HI,
     
    There will be no limitation as the use of advance warehouse management is determined by the combination of item whose storage dimension group is enabled for the 'Use warehouse management processes' and a warehouse which is also enabled for advance warehouse use.
     
    Even with this parameter enabled you can use all legacy processes without any issues. There is no limitation with regards to use of any options within D365. This only enable extra capabilities in form of D365.

    Hi Erik
     
    To add to what Andre mentioned, on enabling "Use warehouse management processes" = Yes the items linked to the storage dimension group are considered as WMS controlled items. For purchase orders, sales orders etc. the transactions will require WMS-specific processes (work order creations, mobile device steps) if the warehouse is WMS-enabled.
     
    Limitations, based on past observations:
    1. On manually posting product receipts or packing slips, the system may by-pass WMS steps, but it is not the best practice (as per recommendations) for WMS-enabled warehouse.
    2. Can't reverse the settings i.e. can't run off the WMS flag for the storage dimension group once enabled and once we have transactions nor we can migrate items. Need to create a new storage dimension group in this case. Also, on enablement WMS Operations become mandatory for operational tasks.
    3. Operationally, transactions like purchase order receipts, sales order picking need to follow WMS processes (work creation, mobile device confirmations) in WMS enabled warehouses.
    4. Cannot use movement or inventory transfer journals directly without WMS work steps completion in WMS-enabled warehouses.
     
    Hope this helps. Happy to answer questions, if any.
