Currently, the quantity per license plate has to be specified upfront as a Product unit conversion and added to the Unit sequence group.
For many projects (I know of 5 customers in my own company) the quantity per LP is unknown at the time of receiving as different vendors may send different packaging formats.
Here are two real-world examples:
- Customer has 5kg bags, 20kg bags, 25kg bags of powder sent from different suppliers on different pallet configurations. One LP per pallet.
- Another customer has 10pcs 12pcs or 15pcs per carton, with cartons on a pallet. Each carton may or may not require a separate LP. (Generally if more than 10 cartons received then a single LP per pallet). The customer also needs to print a label for each carton.
In both cases it is the warehouse worker that "discovers" the packing format.
Idea:
- Add a new (3rd) option named "User specified quantity" to "Licence plate grouping policy". When this option is selected the user will be prompted to enter the quantity per LP.
- Add a tick-box for all receiving flows named "Request number of labels". When this option is selected the user will be prompted to enter the number of labels per LP.
We should be able to specify the number of labels to print per LP. This will allow the correct number of labels to be printed for each license plate.
e.g.
- 25 cartons of 12 pcs on a pallet
- User enters 300 pcs / LP
- User enters 25 labels / LP

We have multiple customers that have this issue as well. They rarely know the specific quantity per LP upfront.

Highly needed. Common requirements on all projects.

Highly needed - must have!

We have this same requirement and will need to do some development for it soon to make the receiving process more efficient for our users.

Also have this need on a current project.It would be so much easier to fit reality.

Definitely a labour intensive process in our current application with copy and paste activity from client to warehouse management app, this is replicated a number of times to produce individual pack labels.We are rolling out D365 across the business and are coming across the same requirements.We as a customer would welcome this functionality within the receipt process via the Warehouse management app.

This is definitely a topic we need in our process! We'd really appreciate a rapid implementation.

In my experiences with Warehousing, ERP and MRO systems, I have never NOT seen it this way. It is redundant and a Labor and time deficiency (one of the 3 drains) with the D365 system. Just know you will lose in this area until this is corrected.

Any News regarding exteded feature for this functionality - For all producers in Process industry this is a feature required as no production ends up with a full unit.

Thank you for your feedback. Currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future.
