Mixed License Plate Receiving Via WMS app at Warehouse or at Store

Hello guy’s, this blog is all about a new feature – Mixed LP receiving that is a combination of the LP receiving and Purchase order receiving.

S3 – WMS APP Main Screen

Coming straight to the business process – lets say there is a business requirement stating that 10 or more PO’s have been raised from a distribution center of a company, WH/store users want to do a receiving based on LP but PO number must also be scanned.

The below configuration and process must be followed

Lets start with the configuration – In the mobile device menu item, there is a new work creation process – Mixed License plate receiving

S1 – Mobile Device Menu Item

As per the above screen shot S1, source document line identification (in this case – Purchase order item receiving) is required with a work template (if you have different pick-put activity) or you can select the standard purchase order work template.

Created Mixed LP receive mobile device menu item must be added in the mobile device menu form, so that we can use the WMS app for receiving PO with LP.

Create a purchase order and lets do the Mixed LP receiving using WMS app.

S2 – Purchase order

Lets login in new WMS app and click on inbound

S3 – WMS APP Main Screen

Click on Inbound and lets see the Mixed LP Receiving Menu

Click on Mixed LP Receive button and provide the LP

After entering or scanning LP, WMS app keeps the LP number, if LP number is already in use, it will not except.

Enter or scan the PO number or barcode,

After the scanning/entering PO number, scan the Item barcode

Enter the qty and scroll the toggle to right (correct button :))

Lets say the there is another item for another Purchase order number, user can click on the toggle, the following functionalities will be available (screen shot below)

1. Change the PO number
   1. To receive the item for another PO
2. Show list
   1. It will show the scanned item list in LP
3. LP complete
   1. Thats means LP is full and new LP is required to receive the items

Let’s say LP is complete, once you select LP complete, the option to modify will be available when toggle is swipe left.

Modify is an optional activity, not a mandatory one, if a user wants to correct a qty, the user can make use of this functionality and can take action and complete the activity of receiving via LP & PO 🙂

If its a store or a warehouse and they want put-away work for purchase to be completed automatically, it can be achieved by using work policies, but the required feature must be enabled. Or else, standard put-away will be created to complete work 🙂

Happy Reading 🙂

Cycle counting using warehouse management in Dynamics 365, Enterprise

Hello consultants! Today, I’ll be blogging about cycle counting process in dynamics 365 or say D365. Cycle counting is a warehouse process, in which warehouse worker do counting of items irrespective of perishable/non-perishable items on basis of location or items.

Let’s take a scenario, warehouse planner to have a cycle count for a location say A1R1S01B01 and if there is any discrepancies, system should automatically adjust difference in quantities and post a inventory adjustment journal. Warehouse planner creates manual cycle count work. The warehouse supervisor/worker login using app and select cycle count guided operation and complete cycle count work

The following pre-requisites required for creating and completing cycle counting work:

• Cycle count thresholds
  • Cycle count work in D365 created based on the threshold parameters. Cycle count work can be created manually or automatically (using batch process)
• Mobile device
  • Cycle count – System directed

Let’s configure cycle counting based on location in D365;

Step I: Go to warehouse management – Setup – Cycle counting – Cycle counting threshold

• Click on new
• Enter name and description
• Select threshold type as percentage and enter percentage as 10%
• Select work pool id – cycle count

• Click on “select locations” button. Query form will be displayed, select warehouse and location

• Click ok. Click on save and close the form

Step II: Go to warehouse management – Setup – Cycle counting – Cycle counting plan

• Click on new
• Enter cycle counting plan id, description and, maximum number of cycle counts (say 1)

• Click on “select locations” button. Query form will be displayed, select warehouse and location

• Click ok and save
• Click on process cycle counting plan. A form will be displayed and click ok
• An information message will be displayed as shown below in screen;

Step III: Go to warehouse management – Setup – mobile device – mobile device menu item

• Click on new
• Enter menu item name and title
• Select mode – Work
• Select YES to use existing work
• Select directed by – system directed

 

Mapped Business Scenario;

As per the scenario, warehouse planner creates cycle count work manually for a location and inform the cycle count supervisor to count items for a location. As per step II, created cycle count work;

Go to warehouse management – common – cycle counting – open cycle counting work

• Warehouse supervisor login via native app

• Warehouse supervisor click on inventory

• Warehouse supervisor click on cycle count guided

• After clicking cycle count guided. The screen will display information as shown in below screen

• Warehouse supervisor will verify the pallet and enter counted quantity. Supervisor will click on quantity

• Enter 45. Click on correct mark. An information message will be displayed (means there is discrepancies in quantity)

• Supervisor again count and enter same quantity as 45

• Warehouse supervisor, click on correct mark

Once work is completed. Supervisor log out from mobile app and inform warehouse planner. Warehouse planner go to closed cycle counting work in D365 to check status of work, discrepancies adjusted (if any) and whether journal is posted or not.

Warehouse planner click on work action tab and click on cycle counting button.

As you can see in above screen, counted quantity has been captured in D365 and automatically a journal is posted

 

Replenishment of Fixed location using warehouse management

Hello folks, today I’ll be demonstrating one of the feature of advanced warehouse management that use to replenish the fast moving (fixed) locations using one of the standard replenishment engine i.e. min-max replenishment. This engine will explain how a complete pallet will be moved from one location to another fixed or fast moving location

This document will explain the pre-requisites required for replenishment and a cycle till creating work in AX. The standard demo data is used like item – B001, Site/Warehouse – 2/24

Let’s take a scenario, suppose there are seven locations in different levels in one aisle in one warehouse.

Following table explain the locations having pallets with quantity say 100 ea. and, the fixed locations say locat-02/03 having no pallets no quantities and these fixed locations will be replenish from the higher levels say locat-07/06/05/04 if they are having pallet with quantities; as demonstrated in below table

 

Locations	Location profile	License plate	Quantity	Replenish Locations	Unit
Locat-01	Bulk-06	Pallet-08	100	Yes	Ea.
Locat-02	Bulk-06	No pallet	No quantity	Yes	Ea.
Locat-03	Bulk-06	No pallet	No quantity	Yes	Ea.
Locat-04	Bulk-06	No pallet	No quantity	No	Ea.
Locat-05	Bulk-06	Pallet -05	100	No	Ea.
Locat-06	Bulk-06	No pallet	No quantity	No	Ea.
Locat-07	Bulk-06	Pallet -07	100	No	Ea.

As per the table shown above, there are 3 fixed locations having no pallet no quantity, and 5 normal locations in which 3 locations having pallets and quantities of 100 ea. and 2 locations with no pallet and quantities.

Following are the pre-requisites required for replenishment:

1. Work Template: In the work template, following steps will be required to create work:
   • Select work order type – replenishment

External Item Description: AX Supply Chain Functionality

Hi folks, today I am going to blog about one of the Supply chain management process which is widely used in many industries especially in distribution businesses like spare parts, FMCG goods, Pharmaceuticals and so on. You name it and AX will configure the business process as per the requirement.

Business scenario for distribution industries: As we know the distributor procures/purchase the goods from the vendor. These goods/products/items will be having different item information like item code/number, item text, prices and etc… The major concern for the distributor is that they want to maintain their own item code/number in system along with vendor code and, push it to their dealers/franchises in nutshell push their products to market. But, when a distributor is raising a purchase order against the vendor, the system should provide the vendor item code which is maintained in the vendor item master, the reason Vendor will not be maintaining the distributor’s item code (doesn’t make sense for the vendor). So, below are the steps to configure this business scenario in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 at the distributor level.

 

Let’s configure the AXAPTA for maintaining the External item information at distributor environment.

Start by selecting the product against which the item code (Vendor item code) needs to maintained. For that go to product information management  à Common à Released products form. Go to detailed form of the selected product. Under purchase action tab à Related information à External item description. Here item is “bearing”

Click on External item description icon and a form will appear. Enter the desired information required as shown in below form. Here the external item number is “SA45NM” which is nothing but the item number for bearing which a vendor maintains. In the vendor relation line, enter the vendor account number against which the current item is getting procured. Save and close the form.

After this setup, verify the vendor account information for this setup against the item “Bearing”. You will see the same form as shown above. Go to Accounts payable or Procurement and Sourcing module à Common à Vendors à All Vendors

Click on “External Item Description” icon and you will see the form with additional variant information if there is any. This is a standard form common for both product and product masters.

Close the form. This is all the mandatory setups which you will be needing to configure the system to store the external item code.

Whether this setup will work or not? How to test? What’s the result? So, folks every setup verification is done through transaction level. The bottom line; if a distributor is creating a purchase order for bearing items, the external item description information should be available in purchase order form and also in reports.

Let’s create a purchase order for item “Bearing” against 104 vendor. Go to Accounts payable or Procurement and Sourcing module à Common à Purchase orders à all purchase order à Click on purchase order icon under new under purchase order action tab. Select the vendor “104” and click on create. A purchase order form will be displayed and enter the item name “Bearing” on purchase order line tab.

As you can see, at line level after selecting the vendor “104” with same product “Bearing” will display the external item number in general line details. Also, if you want to see the print preview of your purchase order, click on purchase order confirmation tab under journals and a form will be displayed and click on print/preview and select any copy to see the external item number in page preview.

Also, in procurement and sourcing have something called “Forms” under setup. In that under general as highlighted in below image; under item number you have 3 options “Our, Your and, Both”. Select any option and see the position of external item number in print preview form.

There are also additional information’s like description, text and so on. The user can have it as per the requirement. Hence, the cycle is complete.

I will be blogging on another topic of Supply chain management soon enough. Till then, enjoy reading!!!!!!!!!!

Transportation Management in AX 2012 R3 – Part II

Hi Readers, Hope the previous blog helped you in setup of Transportation Management System (TMS) in AX 2012 R3. Now in this blog of TMS, I will try to explain the inbound  cycle of transportation management. Inbound scenarios is possible from Purchase order and Transfer orders, which in AX is Accounts payable. Also, outbound scenarios is possible only from Sales order.

Lets start with inbound process; scenario I – Single load line from purchase order.

In this scenario, I will buy one item from vendor and get it deliver through third party transporter ( who will deliver the goods from one place to another). In AX terminology, create a product with its physical dimensions (weight and volume).

While creating a product, go to fast tab – give values to physical dimensions in order to calculate the total weight. Also, another fast tab i.e. select the transportation management general check box which is available below manage inventory.

You need to do these setup in order to add products to loads, while creating the order. This setup is common against all the orders, no matter what scenario.

Next step is to create purchase order. while creating the purchase order you have to select delivery address to deliver goods. Images below will be displaying the flow of how purchase order is created with mandatory details and transferring purchase order to load planning workbench.

As you can see, the same product has been selected to carry out the transactions. Also, in line details the delivery address has been mentioned. After all this steps, go to warehouse management action tab and select the load planning workbench of transportation management. Below image will be displaying the load planning workbench form in which following steps/actions have been highlighted. Start from the top, filter option is available in order to avoid time. Here direction is inbound because of the purchase order line. Also, you can select the hide shipped check box, in order to see the lines with the load status “OPEN”. Also, in the below form you can see the pick up and drop off address which is similar which we filled while creating the purchase order.

Now, select the “To new load” in order to create the load lines. Also, with the help of this functionality you can select the quantities lesser than you have mentioned in purchase order line. Beautiful feature isn’t it ! You can see the next highlighted icons which will give the better picture from the information is flowing to where.

As you can see from above image, the capacity of load is negative as you have not selected the load template. But you can transfer the load to the choice of your transport, it will only tell you the capacity of the transport which can carry the maximum load. That’s why we have provided the physical dimensions, while creating the product, Remember !

Next step, you can see in below image. Go to line details of load template id and you can see the setup which we talked in previous blog of TMS.  In this you can define the capacity of transport on the basis of dimensions. Also, as you can see after selecting the load template id capacity figures becomes positive. Why? Because I have defined load template which is having an enough load capacity. For better understanding, changes have been highlighted.

Now after selecting the load template id, you can see the load line details with load status “OPEN” in below image. Concept behind this is that, till now we have just selected the quantities to be loaded in transport and now we have to calculate the rate and route through which we can transport the goods from one place to another. As you can see in below image, go to rating and routing fast tab under loads and select the rate route workbench inorder to calculate the rate and assign that rate to the choice of route.

As you can see the action results in below form. Automatically, the ” From & To” address will appear in rate route workbench form. As we discussed about the miscellaneous charges in previous blogs and about freight charges, you can see I have assign the freight, fuel, and toll charges to this rate and to every route. In order to calculate the rate click on rate shop and this will display all the available rates along with their shipping carrier. Again, “Rate” functionality will provide you only the cost effective rate to transport the goods.

After selecting the rate shop, you will see multiple shipping carrier rates for transportation of goods. Here, we have selected the least rate which is provided by only shipping carrier_001 @ 8645 rate. Now, in order to assign this rate to route – select the “assign” fast tab under route results and click ok.

After assigning the route with rate, assign icon will become disable. Now, go back to load planning workbench form. As you can see in below form, click on ship and receive and confirm the outbound shipment.

After confirming the inbound shipment, the status will change to shipped. Which means, you have complete the inbound cycle of TMS AX 2012 R3!.

Voila! This inbound cycle is complete.

I will try to post my next blog on Transportation management which will be talking about outbound shipment in AX 2012 R3. Till then, Have a Nice Time!

“hope this blog will add value to readers”

Transportation Management Setup in AX 2012 R3 – Part I

Hi Folks, this blog will guide you to the transportation management setups. Transportation management can be understood with the help of scenarios like inbound and outbound. Here inbound scenarios is from purchase order, transfer order (where load is moving inside the warehouse) and outbound scenarios can be possible only from sales order i.e. load is moving from your warehouse. In this blog, only setup of transportation module will be discussed.

There are setups like rate base, rate base type, rate master, accessorial assignment, constraints, shipping carrier and so on. In setups every setup is done in order to achieve the objective, which is here to find the cost effective rate to transport the load from one place to another.

The steps are as follows:

First step is to initialize the base engine, which will automatically build the necessary data to run the process smoothly.

After this step, you can set up other necessary engines like mileage, rate, generic to define the miles between the pick up and drop off destinations. According to the business scenarios, you also need to set up mode of transport and the transportation methods like ocean, railways, or by air. This setup basically helps to build the load template in which you define the capacity of the load in say truck.

Now,terms of delivery is needed to define the charges to the load. Its the check box you have to select in order to add charges like freight charges. Similarly, you need to define the miscellaneous charges against your charge code. If it is sales order it should be against customer or for purchase order it should be against your vendor. Path to terms of delivery is; go to sales and marketing-under setup-distribution-terms of delivery.

After all the miscellaneous charges against the charge code. You have to define the mileage engine. you will already find some data which will be displaying the pick up and drop off information and according to that miles have been mentioned.

As per the defined distance, you can calculate the rate also, you can define your own pick up and drop off destinations. Also, you can calculate the rate on the basis of days with the help of transit time engine. Instead of miles, in transit time engine you will see the days.

Now, one of the most important part in transportation management is define the rate according to miles, days as per requirements. Which can be possible only through the rate master (combination of rate base and rate base type), addition to the rate master you have to define the break master which will be providing the necessary information in rate base form. Rate base form will help you to provide the rate information according to miles, which you have defined in break master form. Below images, will give you an idea.

As you can see, according to mileage engine, I have defined the mileage with data type integer in break master form. In break master form, random values have been taken in order to define the rate in rate base form.

As I said, the information provided in the break master form, will help you to fill the rate based on miles. As you can see in below image, the rates as per miles have been filled. While creating the rate base you have to select the break master which will fetch the information from break master form and will display in rate base form.

In the rate base form, you can have ” AddOnCharge” between destinations. Also, as per your client’s requirement you can assign a minimum charge to the route, no matter what distance load has moved.

Above step can be performed by following path: go to trax – setup – rating – rate master. After creating the rate base form, assign the rate base assignment in rate master form. Which is displayed above. With the help of this form, rate base can filled in order to make calculations.

What all this setup will do ? In AX, rate master form consolidate all the information which you have provided back-end in rate base form, break master form, add on charges, freight charges, mode of transportation and relatively other forms of AX.

After the rate master, shipping carrier can be defined to complete setup process shown below. In shipping carrier form, you can see the other options like constraints, accessorial assignments and so on. This is the final setup step to complete the cycle of transportation management in AX 2012 R3.

The setups like constraints are used to avoid the transportation of goods in particular carrier in order to avoid the risk, the goods like petrol. You can decide the choice of constraint action like warning message, error or it will not allow the transportation of goods. The next logical setup is accessorial assignments which is nothing but your other charges like fuel surcharge, toll charges and so on. You can decide the accessorial fee type as per your requirements as shown in below image. You have to select the shipping carrier, in which you have to apply this figures.

Voila, setup of transportation is almost done!

Next part of transportation will be post soon, in which the transportation cycle will be discussed along with functionalities. The next post will include the inbound and outbound scenarios of transportation management in AX 2012 R3. Till then, have a nice time!
