D365FFO - How to release to warehouse cross docking works even in case of warehouse "full reservation" release method

 In case in the warehouse setup we have the following parameters set 

-    Requirement for inventory reservation: Require full reservation

-    Insufficient quantity response: Generate an error

It is still possible to release a sales order to warehouse even if there is no stock but at least a purchase order is marked against a sales order.

The crossdocking template is set in the following way:

-    Demand requirements set as Marking

-    Work template defined in the work template

-    Supply source defined as "Purchase order"

-    Location type: Location directives

We create the sales order as follows.

We create the purchase order directly from the sales order as follows.

In order to release the sales order to the warehouse it is required to launch the batch procedure as follows:

-    The value "Quantity to release": Reserved physically and cross dock

The sales order generates the following shipment.

The shipment has a planned cross docking defined as follows.

Instead if we use the fulfillment policy on the sales order header blocking the release to warehouse in case of missing items in the stock, the system is not able to skip the planned cross docking lines.

D365FFO - Register material consumption using warehouse mobile device

It is now possible to register the material consumption for production orders directly using the warehouse mobile device. In order to do it, the following feature "Register material consumption on the mobile app on a scale unit" must be switched on.

We create a production order, not setting any location directive for picking components or wave / work templates. At the end we release the production order not generating any work for picking goods, as reported below.

Then we can start the production order using the mobile app or the feature on the production order form (ensuring to not consume components while doing it).

After that we can access the warehouse mobile app feature related to the following menu item defined into the parameters.

Using the mobile app it is possible to generate automatically a picking list journal directly related to the production order.

After scanning the production order, it is required to scan the picking location as reported below.

Then it is required to scan all the other information:

- itemid

- batchid (if needed)

- serial number (if needed)

and to confirm the quantity to be picked as shown below.

Once completed the picking procedure the button Done must be clicked as reported below.

After clicking on the Done the system generates a picking journal posted against the production order scanned during the procedure.

We get the following journals posted on the production order related.

A picking list journal for consuming the components of the production order and a report as finished journal for producing the final item.
