Efficient warehouse management is a cornerstone of supply chain operations, and leveraging advanced tools such as Dynamics 365 Warehouse Management can significantly enhance overall productivity. In this comprehensive guide, we will discuss the process of implementing inbound License Plate Numbers (LPN) processing with directed put-away, a feature that effectively streamlines warehouse operations by facilitating the reception and storage of goods based on their designated location and priority. We will cover every critical step, from configuring the system and setting up location directives to enabling warehouse workers to perform the inbound LPN process using mobile devices. By following these guidelines, you can optimize warehouse operations, maximize storage space utilization, and ultimately, improve overall business performance.
Location Directives are essential for managing the storage of goods within the warehouse, while Work Templates define the work process for each warehouse operation. Begin by configuring these two elements in Dynamics365.
a. Navigate to Warehouse Management > Setup > Location Directives.
b. Create a new Location Directive, specifying details such as Directive Code, Description, and Warehouse.
c. Define the Lines and Location Directive Actions for the put-away process.
d. Navigate to Warehouse Management > Setup > Work Templates.
e. Create a new Work Template, providing details such as Work Template Code, Description, and Work Order Type.
f. Configure the Work Template Steps for the inbound LPN process, including License Plate Receiving, License Plate Put-away, and License Plate Consolidation.
Mobile devices are crucial for warehouse workers to carryout their tasks efficiently. Ensure that you have the appropriate menu items and menus set up for the inbound LPN process.
a. Navigate to Warehouse Management > Setup > Mobile Device > Mobile Device Menu Items.
b. Create a new Mobile Device Menu Item for the inbound LPN process, including Menu Item Name, Display Name, and Mode.
c. Select the Functionality Profile and Work Creation Process for the inbound LPN process.
d. Navigate to Warehouse Management > Setup > Mobile Device > Mobile Device Menus.
e. Assign the newly created Mobile Device Menu Item to the desired Mobile Device Menu.
With the configurations complete, warehouse workers can now perform the inbound LPN process using mobile devices, optimizing warehouse operations and ensuring efficient use of storage space.
a. Warehouse workers scan the inbound LPN to register it in the system.
b. Based on the configured Location Directives, the system suggests an appropriate storage location.
c. Warehouse workers move the LPN to the suggested storage location, scanning both the LPN and the location for confirmation.
By following the steps outlined above, you can successfully implement inbound LPN processing with directed put-away in Dynamics 365Warehouse Management. This process will help streamline warehouse operations, maximize storage space utilization, and enhance overall supply chain performance.
