Scenario:

Transferring goods from a non 'advanced warehouse management' controlled warehouse (and non license plate controlled location) into an 'advanced warehouse management' warehouse.


Receiving issue:

The customer has setup the receiving area as a non 'license plate controlled' location in the receiving warehouse. The idea is to be able to quickly register full amount of received items without printing license plate labels. The license plate number and labels are printed when they put away goods to the destination location - pallet by pallet.


Above idea is supported when receiving purchase orders - by

  1. Setting up "Work polices not to generate work for work order type "Purchase order" and work process "Purchase order item receiving (and put away)" - for the inventory location "receiving area"
  2. Setup mobile device menu item for Purchase order receiving with work creation process "Purchase order item receiving" and default data with "To location" for given warehouse and hardcoded value is the location "Receiving area".

Then when receiving the purchase order it uses the non license plate controlled location (Even though the default receipt location on the warehouse is license plate controlled.


When receiving the transfer order it takes the license plate controlled location and forces the user to register license plate.


I suggest to extend the work policies to include option to :

  1. work order type = Transfer receipt"
  2. Transfer order item receiving (and put away)

To make it possible to receive a transfer order into a non license plate controlled location - in the same way as the purchase order.
