Advanced warehouse management

Hi all,

I have never really used the advanced warehouse management functionality but am trying to get to grips with the app and the actual process. I have managed to create a new released product which is within a dimension group that has advanced warehouse management enabled. A couple of quick questions though. I easily received the PO using the purchase receive and then purchase putaway option within the app. Using the line quantity form (PO header > General > Line Quantity) it showed as registered but not received. Do I need to process the PO using the traditional receipt list / product receipt to see the PO status change to “received” or am I doing something wrong please? Also, how would a warehouse worker know what the work ID is, if looking to work without paper please?

Many thanks

Jon

Hi Jon

There is no auto-receipt, the product is indeed registered at completion of the scanning. Although you dont state your version and I believe this option has been discussed on the roadmap.

In the times I have worked with scanners we have created a receipts list with barcodes to enable the user to scan the barcode, they can enter this, but the work ultimately is the internal reference and not something the person scanning the goods in should be looking for.

Thanks Adam, very much appreciated. I don’t suppose you know whether during the pick / put process it is possible to have a step within the work template to print the delivery note or trigger the print from the warehouse app please?

Hi Jonathan

You cannot produce the delivery note because it is not yet ship confirmed. Against the container closing profile, there is functionality to automatically print the delivery note, but this almost assumes you’re using containers (And packing station in some respects).

You have the work audit template. There is a setup on here which implies you can print a report based on an event. You would then add this template to your mobile device menu item and in theory it would work (Only certain menu items can have audit templates assigned). Although there seems to be issues (https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/137742).

You also have the the “Custom” work template line type (http://kashperuk.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/tutorial-custom-work-types-and-shipment.html)
