If you setup an item with a Storage dimension group enabling Advanced warehouse processes (WHS) the Licence plate dimension is Active, and allows Blank issue and Blank receipt.

But when you transact this item in a WMI (not Advanced warehouse), although you can enter a Licence plate on a receipt, the Licence plate doesn't get written to the inventory transaction.

I've done quite a few implementations in Manufacturing companies where they track production receipts by pallet id. In AX 2009 they purchased the WMII module just to activate the pallet id, and in AX 2012 only use the pallet id as a tracking dimension without using any other WMII functions.

We're currently going through a couple of AX 2009 upgrades, and trying to figure out how we can implement pallet tracking - maybe we'll have to use serial, but it's not as good a fit as a Licence plate.

Hi, there should be a parameter to enable the Project quotation review workflow process. Currently you can only process ('Send') a quotation if the status is Approved - and therefore if our business doesn't need to approve project quotations, we have to setup a workflow which automatically approves all quotations - and the user has to submit the quotation for approval and wait for the workflow jobs to process the quotation.

For purchase orders, there's a parameter which enables or disables the purchase order approval workflow, and the same should be available for project quotations.

Thanks

We can over-ride most of the coverage group settings on Item coverage, but we can't set specific order multiples, and minimum and maximum order quantities on an item coverage record, although it'd be very useful if we could.

The item requirements text field (aka the sales order line text) is a 1000 character string. So the users can use this field in lieu of notes text attachements to add free form text comments to sales order invoices.

But the text field on the project invoice item line is only 60 characters, so if you type more than 60 characters into the item requirements text box, the text is truncated on the project invoice.

When you setup automatic consumption of project items on product receipt, but you've already consumed the item, the user gets an error message generated from the item requirement sales order: "Overdelivery of line is 100.00 percent, but the allowed overdelivery is only 0.00 percent.". I think the system should be a bit smarter than this, and recognize that the item requirement has already been consumed, and just present the user with an information message to that effect.

The scenario where we're getting this is a project where we're buying an outwork service item (e.g. transport services). Because the purchased item is a service item, we're not forcing the user to perform the product receipt before they post the item requirement packing slip - the service item allows negative inventory -  and the users are finding it quicker and easier to post the item requirement packing slip before they post the purchase order product receipt or invoice.
