Combine goods for production in different warehouse

Hi,

We have production plant. One of the warehouses is used for combining items needed for next production steps. Items are coming to this warehouse from other production warehouses with transfer orders (incoming), they are combined, and then transferred to next production warehouse (outgoing).

The goal is to have locations where these outgoing orders will be combined (~200 locations). On daily basis, we want to assign temporary location for each outgoing transfer, and then divide (by put away or picking) incoming goods to each location where it is needed (for example 200 incoming pieces divide to 30 locations).

Incoming transfer is one line with big amount of one item. Outgoing transfer order is ~20-30 lines with different items for one production order.

Maybe someone have ideas how to set it up? In my eyes, there are no standard option, but I cannot decide what approach we should take. Is it better to use put away or picking.

I think a diagram would be helpful. The original scenario laid out is a bit confusing.

The nearest functionality are the' buyer push' and 'cross docking' features of Retail module which basically rations/allocates stock across different locations.

RE: Combine goods for production in different warehouse

Hi Isha,

Here is example. Maybe it will be more clear:

I have 3 outbound transfer orders: A (order lines - P1, P2, P3) , B (order lines P1, P2), C (order lines P1, P3)

I want to assign location for each outbound order. For example A-> L3, B->L11, C->L21

When I receive inbound transfer with product P1, I want to put it directly to location L3, L11, L21, and so on..

When I will have all items for order A, I will ship it away, and use location L3 for other transfer order.

The first challenge is how to assign location to outbound order? At the moment I see one possible way. To create load manually (I cannot release transfer to warehouse, because of missing balance) and then develop a function to assign staging/final shipping location. Dont like it much because of manual load creation.

Other challenge is how to do put incomming items to correct locations. Should I receve incomming orders to receiving area and do picking, or do putaway/cross-dock directly..
