The system (D365) doesn’t allow to update the batch/lot/license plate quantity and/or number of the same for purchase orders of incoming materials which are “lot-controlled”.
There are up to +80% of situations in which the warehouse worker needs to update quantity and/or number of batch/lot/license plate, which is not necessarily related to changing the total purchase order quantity.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example 1:
Order quantity 400 meters Roll (nominal) quantity 100 meters 4 rolls
Received quantity 400 meters 4 rolls 1 roll 99 meters, 1 roll 101 meters, 1 roll 95 meters, 1 roll 105 meters.
Example 2:
In case the received quantity is 412 meters (in 4 rolls), the warehouse worker will ALWAYS modify the quantity of the purchase order before performing the reception to match ordered quantity with received quantity.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Therefore, it is needed to have the possibility to update the quantity for each batch/lot/license plate, and possibly also the number of the same, during the reception process and before printing the labels.
For instance, in Example 1:
Order quantity 400 meters Received quantity 400 meters
Roll (nominal) quantity 100 meters 4 rolls received
Roll n. 1 Update quantity from 100 meters to 99 meters
Roll n. 2 Update quantity from 100 meters to 101 meters
Roll n. 3 Update quantity from 100 meters to 95 meters
Roll n. 4 Update quantity from 100 meters to 105 meters
Then confirm and finalize the reception process, with the labels being directly/automatically printed with the updated quantities.
Comments
The first comments look like all positive. From our side (the requester, with the support of our partner Accenture/Avanade) we could take advantage of an easier and less time-consuming process, like the one in place today, for all falicities dealing with goods reception of lot-controlled materials.
