(*Not using advance warehouse management) Given a scenario, for example, when the output is produced with a batch number. Then, it will go for quality check. The QA will split the pass and fail quantity in the quarantine order and validate the quality order. In the standard environment, batch disposition is updated based on the latest validation of quality order. It means only one batch disposition status can be update in one batch number. Let's say we validate the pass quantity first, batch disposition status is updated to available. Next, when we validate the fail quantity, the batch disposition status is updated to unavailable. Based on standard, generally, one batch number can only have one status (either available or unavailable). As of now, transferring the failed quantity to another batch number (give a new batch number) is the best option in this case. However, we think batch disposition should allow multiple status as it is not practical to give a new batch number due to traceability issues. Also, it is a basic requirements for process manufacturing industries.

Based on standard design, the system always prefers the pending price for BOM/Formula calculation. This makes sense as the BOM calculation is also "not finalized price". As pending cost is a not finalized price, user will eventually overlook the pending cost during cost rollup as there is no warning log or notifications for the items captured with pending cost. System also allowed to activate the cost even there is items captured with pending cost without any notifications. This overlook will cause companies with a huge cost variance. Therefore, I suggest for system to prompt warning log if some items captured with pending cost. This idea sounds very simple, but I believe it is highly needed by companies. Hope you can consider this idea. Let's make D365 better together!

Marking should consider the batch disposition code. BUSINESS SCENARIO: When firming planned production orders with marking, the sales order (demand) will be marked with the production order (supply) in production control module. Due to this marking, reservation are already done at the very first stage. Hence, when we report as finished (report output) the production order, all the quantities will be reserved to the sales order. In most manufacturing industries, reported output will not be directly go to the selected/default inventory. Instead, the reported output will be in quarantine stage and will go through some inspections. Here, the QA team will segregate the pass and fail quantity (Batch disposition - PASS = Available) (Batch disposition - FAIL = Unavailable). In system, the configurations is relevant to quarantine management setup in item model group and quality associations. With marking, the quarantine order and quality order functions seems worthless as all the validated quantities whether PASS or FAIL, both will still be reserved to the sales order. This is far from logic, as the FAIL quantity (Batch disposition = Unavailable) will still be reserved to the sales order due to this marking. Due to this, it hinders D365 from the concept of automation. The workaround to unreserve and re-reserve the quantities in sales order is primarily manual. Besides, advance warehouse functions also is not capable to cater this basic and simple operations. I hope you can consider my idea as part of product enhancement. Lets make D365 the best system together!
