Mention part numbers, not LOT ID
When creating warehouse raw mat picking work for prod orders, the system sends an error message when certain parts are not available and cannot be picked. It talks LOT ID. Nobody remembers lot ID's. IT should talk part numbers so the user knows what the shortages are!
Vendor collaboration change
Something seems not right with vendor collaboration. I send a PO to the vendor.My status now on the PO "in external review' this is true. I am waiting for the vendor. The vendor accepts PO without changes . The PO disappears from his PO review tile and shows up in the "awaiting customer action...
Add column Picked qty to the PRod BOM line
WIth the use of ADV Warehousing in prod order picking, it has become clear that there is a black hole in the information regarding the prod BOM items between the time they were picked and the time they were consumed via a picklist journal. The three quantity columns we have now "Estimated qty"...
Show the location in cycle counts per loctaion
When generating work for cycle count per location, the users faces a long list of work id's, one for each location. But without opening the work, the user has no idea for which location this work is.

Work center efficiency report
Customers always ask for a Resource group and resource efficiency report. ERP systems typically have it. It is not hard to calculate but the system does not have it. It should be part of the prod performance KPI out of the box. For a chosen time interval the system shows, for each resource gro...
Unpick Production order
Reversal of picking is an important functionality. With sales orders we get to chose what to do if we unpick. Where to put the items. In Production we need that same choice. Right now in Production you have no choice. The system will unpick but leave the items in the input location. This means...
Purchase agreement lines overview

Add site and warehouse fields
When creating an RFQ from a planned Purchase order, the user has no opportunity to enter site and warehouse.
When creating a manual RFQ these fields are there. With an RFQ created from a planned PO, one cannot access site and warehouse on the RFQ header. Result is that the generated PO h...
