We use the 'round-up to unit' field on raw material picking works to handle the components in boxes instead of eaches. This works fine when the picking location has enough stock, but not when the picking work requires replenishment from the main warehouse. In that case - when the replenishment is generated using wave replenishment - the system ignores the round-up to unit setup and creates the picking work for the exact quantity of the production order. This is not happening when using immediate replenishment, however, sometimes wave replenishment better fits the customer's needs.

We would like to have the option to apply the round-up to unit functionality even when a wave replenishment is needed. This would improve the efficiency and accuracy of our warehouse operations.

Business Need:

A customer of our company utilises product configurations to differentiate characteristics of our products, with each configuration being sold in different regions. Each region has its own regulatory requirements, which necessitate different shelf life periods for the same product based on country legislation. Currently, Microsoft Dynamics lacks the capability to manage shelf life periods at the released product variant level, which poses a significant challenge for compliance with varying regional regulations.

Proposed Solution:

We propose the implementation of a feature that allows for the management of shelf life periods within the released product variant master data. This enhancement would enable businesses to efficiently comply with diverse regional regulations without resorting to costly customisations.

Business Impact:

The absence of this feature represents a substantial gap in our operations and could potentially lead to brand damage if end customers perceive that Microsoft Dynamics lacks essential features for regulatory compliance. Implementing this feature would not only streamline operations but also enhance the appeal of Microsoft Dynamics as a comprehensive ERP solution for businesses with complex regulatory needs.

Conclusion:

We believe that prioritising this feature in future updates will significantly benefit businesses and strengthen Microsoft Dynamics' position in the market. We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to seeing this enhancement in future releases.
