Specify quantity per LP during receiving - New Licence plate grouping policy
Suggested by Nicholas Cram – Needs Votes – 20 Comments
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

Let the planning optimization engine and the trade agreements processing to consider the unit conversions for the items while genertating the requirements
Suggested by Ahmed Soliman – Needs Votes – 6 Comments
The planning optimization does not consider item different units; therefore, it does not fetch the correct trade agreement price for the requirements planned orders.
In conclusion, the planning optimization does not respect unit conversion.
For instance, if we have 3 trade agreements for one product A:
Product A, 1 PCS, 10 EUR
Product A, 1 VP10, 95 EUR (VP10 = 10 PCS)
Product A, 1 VP20, 180 EUR (VP20 = 20 PCS)
now I would like the MRP to suggest me the best price.Â
Setting is set
- look for Trade Agreement
- find the best price
- also the unit conversions are in place.
I create a sales order with 10 pieces
Run the planning optimization.
it suggests me to buy 10 PCS for 100 EUR.
I would imagine that the MRP would find the agreement with unit VP10 and suggest me to order them for 95.

Correction on Product receipt when Warehouse management process is enabled
Suggested by Martin Jorov – Needs Votes – 9 Comments
Standard D365 does not allow the Correct button on the Purchase order product receipt, once the Product receipt is posted.
The only workaround is to cancel the product receipt which includes moving the products back to the receipt location first. That is very time consuming and complex since after the cancelation you need to receive every product all over again to correct the mistake.
The idea is to enable the Correct button to Product receipts when Warehouse management processes are used, like it works for a regular non warehouse management Purchase order product receipt.

Photo capture on mobile device WHS app
Suggested by Frans Hoogenraad – Needs Votes – 10 Comments
Photo capture option on the warehouse management app
Purpose:
With the mobile device, take a photo of a work exception (damaged product, location blocked etc.) or any other phenomena in the warehouse and attach this photo as a file to the work exception, work line or the current source order line.
Proposed solution:
In the Warehouse management app, add a new button that can be used for uploading a photo taken by this mobile device.
This option could be configurable in the mobile device menu item.
I suggested this some years ago in Yammer, but can not find an idea.
Also refer to the Yammer post of Luca Ganz.

Landed cost module - Goods in transit triggered without invoice
Suggested by Ignacio Sospedra Olmos – Needs Votes – 6 Comments
Create "Goods in transit orders" without invoice posting. In landed cost module, system needs to post the invoice to create "Goods in transit orders", this step reflects the point in the journey where risk transfers from seller to buyer in international and domestic contracts for the delivery of goods. Usually, in business there is a gap between the moment the responsibility of goods is transferred (depending on incoterm it will be transferred sooner or later) and when the invoice is received and processed by buyer. This period of time can be of weeks. In addition, the department within a company responsible for this step will be the logistics one, not financial/AP, meaning logistics/procurement department will receive notification from supplier that responsibility of goods is on buyer's side, while financial dpt will be in charge of processing invoice once is received, as specified before can be weeks later. Therefore the idea is to trigger "Goods in transit orders" without having to post invoice, this way logistics/procurement dpt will be able to reflect in system risk transfer with suppliers notification, while financial dpt will process invoices when received/needed. -

Allowing cancellation of Transfer Orders
Suggested by Sujoy Choudhury – Needs Votes – 18 Comments
D 365 Supply Chain Management does not support cancellation of Transfer Orders. This leads to problems for many manufacturing, distribution and retail customers. In case of errors committed with wrong Shipments, a reverse Stock Transfer would need to be created and Shipped. It would be really convenient if the application could allow the Manager to cancel the Shipment with a reason code. This becomes a compliance issue in countries like India and Brazil. With the advent of e-Waybill and e-Invoicing, the Stock Transfer would need to be 'Received' at the destination location before a reverse Stock Transfer can be created. All this has documentation and tax implications as Inter State Stock Transfers are liable to taxes and e-Way bill is mandatory for any Stock Transfer > Rs50000. This leads to unnecessary transactions in the system without any physical movement of goods. This would be seen as a compliance issue by the tax authorities. to address the above challenge, we would need 'Cancellation of Stock Transfers' to be supported in the application. -
Decimal Attribute type with limits is not working in constraint based product models
Suggested by Frank Paaskesen – Needs Votes – 4 Comments
You define an attribute of type decimal and sets up limit for this attribute. You then use the attribute type in a product model because you want this value in the configuration dialogue to be delimited by the limits. But these limits are not used, so the user can type any value in the field. So my suggestion is to enable these limits either by looking up in the model or secondary give posiibility to define some limits on the attribute in the model.

Delivery date control = CTP is apparently not supported on Sales quotations. What are Manufacturing companies supposed to do then? It should be supported. -
Workflow approval process in trade agreement journals
Suggested by Alfredo Jimenez – Needs Votes – 1 Comments
In the latest releases we have seen workflow approval process in inventory journals and ledger journals but not in trade agreement journals, so it could be nice to implement that idea in trade agreement journals.
