D365FFO - Available on location flushing principle

 

Step 1  ·  Open Released Products

Go to Product information management > Products > Released products.

Find and select the finished good item.

Step 2  ·  Open the Engineer menu

On the Action Pane, click Engineer.

Step 3  ·  Open the Formula

Click Edit on the formula header.

   

Click the link in the Formula field to open the formula lines.

Step 4  ·  Enable Available on location

Select the component line you want to configure.

Click the Setup tab.

Switch to Edit mode using the shortcut (pencil icon or Ctrl+Shift+F5).

📌  The 'Available on location' checkbox is on the Setup tab. When enabled, D365FO will generate raw material picking work directly from the production input location, bypassing the standard location directive resolution.

 

Part 2 — Create and Start a Batch Order

Now we create a batch order for the configured item and verify that picking work is generated from the production input location.

 

Step 5  ·  Navigate to Production orders

Go to Production control > Production orders > All production orders.

Step 6  ·  Create a new Batch Order

Click New batch order.

In the Item number field, enter the item.

Click New batch order (confirm the dialog).

Step 7  ·  Fill in Site and Warehouse

In the Site field, enter or select the site (e.g. '1').

Click Yes to confirm site selection.

Close the lookup.

In the Warehouse field, enter or select the WMS warehouse.

Select the row from the list.

Step 8  ·  Set Quantity and Create

In the Quantity field, enter the production quantity.

Click Create.

Part 3 — Start the Order and Verify Work

Step 9  ·  Start the production order

 Find and select the order in the list.

 On the Action Pane, click Production order > Start.

 Click OK to confirm.

Starting the order triggers the release to the warehouse and generates raw material picking work.

 

Step 10  ·  Check Work details

On the Action Pane, click View > Warehouse > Work details.

Verify that the From location on the picking work lines matches the production input location — not a dynamically resolved bin.

Step 11  ·  Review Picking list

On the Action Pane, click View.

Click Picking list.

Part 4 — Complete Picking via Mobile App

The warehouse operator completes the raw material picking using the WMS mobile app. Because 'Available on location' is enabled, the From location is pre-determined — no dynamic location decision is needed.

 

Step 12  ·  Pick on the mobile device

Log in to the Warehouse Management mobile app.

Open the Raw material picking menu item.

Follow the directed picking steps — the app presents the fixed input location as the pick origin.

Part 5 — Confirm Result

Step 13  ·  Verify picking journal is posted

 Reopen the production order.

The related picking list journal is now posted, as shown below.

✅  The picking journal posted automatically after the mobile app confirmed the pick. The component inventory has been moved from the input location to the production order.
