There should be a way to register serial numbers (as well as batches) in a kind of a BOM structure to fulfill tracking requirements by item. With standard D365fO, it’s only possible with PO of quantity 1, which is a no go for customers.
The functionality should work without the need of registering serials on every logistics step (tracking dimension serial number is set to “active in sales process”).
There should be a separate table where child/parent relations of serial numbers and batches can be entered and manually edited at any time. Ideally there is a functionality of scanning GS1 barcodes which recognizes the item and records the serial number and/or batch information. Often there are external systems which deliver the information of serial numbers and batches, so an interface to external systems should exist.
Item tracing should also include the information of child/parent relations.
Kind Regards,
Ronny

Must have in discrete manufacturing industries...

Would love to see this functionality as our customers are asking for it.

I have come across this issue a few years ago and I am currently working with a client who requires exactly the same functionality. A simple functionality to link specific batch/serial controlled raw materials to batch/serial controlled finished goods would be a good start. Maybe some smart auto-linking options (lowest to lowest or time based) could be a welcome extension to manual linking.

Needed in many businesses where serial numbers are produced and raw material batches are picked from several batches for the same item. The customers need for example material certificates for the actual batch used per serial number. Of course it can be impossible to tell which batch was used in which serial number sometimes. It should be possible to configure which batch items need extra registration and the system should not require extra registration if multiple batches are not used.
