    Hi, what does happen when you create a new warehouse and activate the Use warehouse management process setup under the warehouse tab ?

    Hi Renato,

    It is editable at the time you create a new one. Can't you delete it and re-create?

    Just an additional Information to Yohann and Fatih's Suggestion.

    This has to be done during System Setup / Migration, before starting operations.

    If you are already using a warehouse, you can't just Change it to a WHS warehouse. It is intentionally not allowed, and if you try to update it from the backend, it might backfire..

    On the other Hand, I might be wrong as well.. blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../migration-of-microsoft-dynamics-ax-wms-to-new-r3-warehouse-and-transportation-functionality

    This link says, you can update, with some custom Code (which I'm not Aware of).

    Can somebody confirm the following Statement quoted from the link content?

    "....making it necessary to execute custom code or manually update the data if an existing warehouse ID must be reused within the new warehouse management module...."

    Hi Renato Mejilla,

    The option to make a warehouse WHS enabled is one time setup and cannot be changed afterwards. This option can only be used while you are creating the warehouse for the first time and cannot be edited afterwards.

    So if you want to enable a non WHS warehouse to now a WHS warehouse its not allowed and it is not even suggested as nothing will work in the WHS solution as the architecture is totally different with respect to masters and tables even if you did it from the back end.

    The only way is to migrate the data from the old warehouse to new WHS enabled warehouse as explained in the link shared by Crispin eventually shutting down the old warehouse and moving the data to new WHS warehouse.

    Hi,

    In AX 2012, it is not possible through the 'front-end'.

    In D365, there is a job to handle the conversion process, which can change a non-WHS warehouse in to a WHS warehouse. This functionality has not been back-ported to AX 2012 R3.

    Hi Renato !

    From fron end you can do a setup, fallow the below path.

    Warehouse management -> setup -> Warehouses -> Warehouse drop down -> Use warehouse management process (NO/Yes - Yes).
