Currently, when you setup a work policy to avoid the creation of a put-away work, the batch number (and serial number) is not fill on the license plate labels (WHSLicensePlateLabel).

If you want to get the batch number, you must disable the work policy. Your put away process will be different and sometimes it does not match with the customer expectation.

This information is essential when you manage batch item. This lack prevents the printing of batch number on labels.

 The piece picking confirmation does not check the batch number during GS1 scan. The current process asks for first scanning the batch number then the item number (if you have only one batch at the location, the batch is not requested. D365 considers that you must pick the batch at the location, if your stock is not correct, you may have a batch number error). During the scan of the item number, the batch number (application identifier 10) is ignored. The current process enable to scan a GS1 code with a batch number not present at the location. This process can lead to send physically a batch number and to have another batch picked in D365 (tracking, delivery note and invoice are wrong).

My suggestion is to first ask the item number. We can have two different situations :

1. The user is not using a GS1 bar code (or the bar code does not contain the batch number) : In this case, we need to ask for the batch number. This batch number must be picked in D365.
2. The user is using a GS1 bar code that contains a batch number : In this case we got all the information. The batch number scan must be picked in D365.

This suggestion should also work if piece picking confirmation is disabled.

The current process is very limited and does not enable medical/food industries (and more) to work with the warehouse management module without any risk. The current process can have a big impact on business.
