  • Inventory Ownership and batch controlled items

    In the current version of D365, when you create a tracking dimension group for released products, you cannot activate both the Owner and the Batch dimensions.

    We deal with many food customers that manage supplier consignment inventory which needs to be batch-controlled since the consigned materials may come in contact with the food product.

    The system should allow both the Owner and Batch dimensions to be activated

    Also, during the receiving of the consignment materials and when the ownership is changed, there should be a quality association enabled that would allow companies to do some quality checks on the incoming materials.

    Regards

     

     

     

  • Allow multi-select of Inventory Batches in the "Batches Form"

    IN the previous version, AX 2012, users could do a multi-select of inventory batch records in order to change the batch disposition for the selected batches.

    This was especially useful when a user was performing a Item Trace for e.g. an ingredient.

    IN a typical recall scenario, if a supplier contacts a manufacturer and advises them that an ingredient lot may have some quality issues, the manufacturer will want to do a "forward trace" on the inventory batch for that ingredient. Once the trace lists the affected transactions, users will want to click on the "Batches" option on the ribbon bar to see all affected inventory batches (Intermediate items, finished goods, etc.)

    Once the affected inventory batches are listed in the Inventory Batch form, users will want the option to select all batches and reset the disposition for e.g. "QC Hold" so that these cannot be consumed, picked or shipped. In the current version, users need to select the batches one by one and this can be very time-consuming in an urgent recall scenario. Whereas in AX 2012 you could multi-select the batches and reset the disposition for all of these.

    Please provide the option to multi select inventory batches in the "Batches" form, as this is a simple form change that would save a lot of time.
