Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

It is currently not possible to do an over pick for raw material picking (production order). We have scenario's that the bill of material is not correct and in that case you want to have the option to pick additional items with the warehousing app. Dynamics suggest that this scenario is possible with the warehousing app (parameter allow over pick on mobile device menu item) but it doesn't work.

Situation :

Planning Optimization replaces the usual Master Resource Planning.

Within this Planning Optimization, CTP capability has been added, it becomes GA in 10.0.32.

But : this CTP is not yet able to run on the fly, when user saves the sales line. It's necessary to re-run the master plan. We are then loosing reactivity.

Idea : The request is then : retrieve instant capabilities of the existing CTP with the old MRP :

1. Be able to request manually a delivery date control, on each sales line. Get an immediate information.
2. Have a setting to activate by default this delivery date control, when user saves the line. If a risk of late delay is detected, inform the user with the form : "Requested delivery date can not be promised..." And visibility on alternative possible delivery dates (as the existing form).

Business case: I am working with 2 legal entities. LE 1 has entity language set to italian LE 2 has entity language set to english System language is english I have a released product with an EN and IT translation When i go to the released products list page or add items in a sales order I will always get to see the products with EN name and description Desired situation (2 possibilities): 1 When going to IT company, show me products in italian, when going to EN company show me in EN 2 show me the product name and description according to the language set in my user preferences

Displaying product and category names in accordance with user or legal entity in mulitinational environment is a must for implementation for client operating worldwide. Our client operate in few countries with different languages. It's a problem to prepare consistent processes for purch and sales as the list of categories and products display only in one system language. Users from different countries cannot properly carry out sales and purch processes as they cannot read product and category names, which are crucial for document lines. Coherent files is obligatory in a large organization like my client's one.

The purchase receiving process has an issue. Mobile client brings the PO line to 'registered' - Nobody in warehouse or office is willing to go to each PO and individually click a "Product receipt" for the registered lines - Batch program in advanced warehousing exists to bring PO lines to "received" status using a LOAD number - So we can auto-create Loads for each PO via a parameter in Transportation - then the batch program , filtering on "inbound" and "open" load status could theoretically handle this.. all PO lines become "received" after being "registered" within a few minutes. But then we still have a Load in status 'received' which is not the final status. somebody will have to manually go to each Load (and we have one load per PO) and say "confirm inbound shipment".. and only then will the load be 'shipped' and disappear from the radar screen. No batch exists to "auto confirm inbound shipments". What can be done to streamline the PO receiving process in advanced warehousing? We would like to request a batch program that processes "registered" PO lines to "received" and also confirms the inbound shipment. There is no business added value to have that last step as a manual step

Many AX / D365 customers have supply chain requirements that include scanning barcodes that are formatted to the GS1-128 standard. This includes barcodes that have multiple data elements where each element starts with an Application identifier and can either be fixed or variable length.

1. For use with the D365 Warehouse App and WHSWorkExecute
2. Parameters to signify special characters for "start of barcode", "end of barcode" and "end of variable length barcode segment"
3. New table for GS1-128 Application identifiers e.g. 00 = SSCC (Licence plate), 10 = Batch etc.
4. New table to map the Warehouse App fields to individual barcode segments e.g. 00 = Licence plate, 10 = Batch
5. A single scan of a barcode that includes multiple data elements, each with its own GS1-128 Application identifier, will populate all associated fields, e.g. during Purchase receive, one scan will populate Batch + Batch date + Expiry date
6. Scanning will include the removal of the Application identifier e.g. 00012345678012345678 will be processed as Licence plate = 012345678012345678
7. Applies to all Warehouse App activities that involve the scan of a barcode

Currently it is documented that planning optimization forecast consumption does not consider sales orders once they have been picked, invoiced, shipped, delivered, etc. The demand is added back into forecast once the status on an open order moves into one of the above mentioned and PLOP is run again. There is a critical need in many business planning functions to consider these orders to prevent over purchasing and overproduction. 

Example Scenario: The "on-hand" or "minimum" stock point is truly a safety stock and used to handle variation in our forecast. It is not there to support customer weekly orders. 

We build weekly to forecast to support the forecasted demand, so as the week progresses we need the ability to see how many we have sold vs produced to ensure we are covering our forecasted demand. 

We have large volume customers that place orders daily and weekly. Once those orders ship and get added back into forecast after the next MRP run, we are going to appear very short to cover demand. This will trigger planning to cut more orders, buyers to expedite material, and the factory to work unnecessary overtime to produce parts that we truly do not need.

Please consider adding back to the consumption logic calculation for planning optimization to include all sales orders statuses. Picked, Invoiced, Shipped, Etc. to ensure accurate planning signals.

Microsoft issue 674900

It is a very common scenario:

Inventory is physically moved from one site to another (moving from warehouse on the east coast to warehouse on the west coast)

Freight cost is incurred during the move, and this cost needs to increase the inventory value.

There can be other charges such as duty and tariffs if the source and destination in different countries.

Right now there is no reasonable way to add the charges cost to the inventory value of the products moved (as can be done with purchase orders, using charges)

This is a MAJOR pain, and a repeated request.

Most vendors operate with a "delivery date" being the date where the items are shipped from their site or most often based on Delivery terms. So depending on the Delivery terms (Incoterms)  the concept of delivery date changes. EXW often means a long lead time from shipment to delivery as opposed to DDP where shipment = delivery. There is a lot of misunderstanding with these concepts and that often leads to late deliveries... 

This means we need a similar feature on shipment and delivery as on the purchase order. Most vendors assume the delivery date is their shipment dates. It is a tough sell to change this, so a feature supporting this is sorely required and something we always do for our customers.

Currently, there is no workflow related to changes in the vendor bank accounts. This is a very common scenario in the business to validate and approve bank accounts, before they are used.
