  • Shipment / Load Weight and Length Units

    Fri, 15 Mar 2019 11:30:33 GMT – Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management – Needs Votes 

    No weight and length unit is currently defined on the shipment / load header. The current shipment / load creation logic will sum the total weight from the released product records for those included products, but the returned value is now arbitrary in relation to that despatch without a unit. The "System unit" can be defined (Org admin > Units), which in turn populates the "Physical dimensions" setup; however this is per D365FO instance, therefore it is not possible to have different weight units per legal entity. E.g. GBR LE = Kg, USA LE = Lbs. It would be great to be able to specify the system units at a legal entity level within an instance. This would therefore mean carrier interfaces were possible and output despatch documentation could be configured accordingly.

  • Consignment inventory functionality - Working with advanced warehousing

    Wed, 27 Mar 2019 09:28:11 GMT – Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management – Under Review 

    It is currently not possible to create consignment replenishment orders for released products which are configured with the storage dimension corresponding to advanced warehousing. As these products are likely to be consumed in the manufacturing process, potentially where a number of products are consumed in the BOM; they ideally need to be functioning in the same way as other products. With the current implemented functionality, it's a split process where you have to use a paper pick list for the consignment inventory and the mobile device for the other products.

  • Consignment inventory - MRP to generate consignment replenishment order

    Wed, 27 Mar 2019 10:07:22 GMT – Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management – Needs Votes 

    In the currently implemented supplier consignment inventory functionality, MRP does not raise the consignment inventory, instead it raises a record based on the default order settings (E.g. A planned PO). The default order settings do not have the option for the default order type of "Consignment inventory". The only current workaround is not specifying a default supplier, allowing the system to raise a planned PO and deleting / manually recreating it as a consignment replenishment order. This does not represent a streamlined process. If a consignment replenishment order already exists, MRP considers this as inbound supply, but automatic raising of a consignment replenishment order is not possible in the current functionality.
