Two requests:
- When entering a sales order for an assembly item, automatically default the Qty. to Assembly to Order based on what is actually available to make. What is actually available to make should not include future purchase orders, transfers, etc.
- This is the more important request. Currently one can create a Warehouse Pick for a Sales Order containing an Assembly Order which leads to a partial pick. In other words, if some of the components are on hand, those will be suggested to pick and the ones that are not on hand are not available to pick. Because the shippers may not know every component that goes into the assembly, this has caused shipments to go out with partial assemblies.
Comments
An alternate approach would be to default the qty to assemble to the quantity ordered creating demand for all the components, printing the pick ticket and the user would update the qty to ship based on what was picked. For warehouse management, default the qty to assemble to the quantity ordered and when the warehouse pick is created to create the pick for the components to build full assemblies. Currently, the pick may suggest to pick only 1 of two components or pick an insufficient qty of one component while suggesting to pick the full quantity of another. Thus, one can end up with partially built assemblies. The printed warehouse pick should also list the item being made and its description rather than just the components.

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently this is not on our roadmap. We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we will consider it in the future. Best regards, Business Central Team
