R3: What’s New: Warehouse/Transportation Management


Warehouse Management

R3


• Work Templates

o Monitor the processing and the amount of work in a warehouse, push work to dedicated

warehouse workers, and trace completed work.

• Location Directives

o Inbound / outbound material flow and storage within the warehouse.

• Deferred Reservation Strategy

o Defer reservation details beyond the point of entering an order. The deferred reservation strategy

is based on a reservation hierarchy, which you can assign to inventory items.

• Inventory Status Storage Dimensions

o Inventory blocking, material planning and reservation capabilities.

• Wave Processing

o Create and release outbound work through automatic or manual processing of waves.

• Containerization

o Set up container groups to sequence packing processes and create templates that support

packing strategies.

• Mobile Devices

WHS Features


WMS and WHS Release History

In AX 2012 R3 WMSII and WHS are mutually exclusive.

Configuration – Location Directive [Pieces to Pick Inbound]


Inbound Process



Inbound Process Demonstration

1. The Location Directive will find locations for directed put-away.

2. The Work Template will determine what steps need to take place.

3. The mobile device will create the work when it registers the PO.

4. The put away will be directed to location based upon unit of measure. • Full Pallets are stored in Bulk Locations • Pieces can be moved to Picking Locations


Inbound Process Demo – Purchase Transactions

1. Receive by Line 2. Receive by Item 3. ASN Receiving

One Step - Receive to User Location>Stocking Location

Two Step - Receive to Dock. Separate put away required


Mobile Client Testing - “WHSWorkExecute”


Inbound Demo – Register License Plate to Dock

Purchase Receive


Inbound Demo – Verify Material is in Stock


Inbound Demo – Put away to Bulk Location

Purchase Put-away


Inbound Demo – Register License Plate with “Blocking”

Purchase Receive


Inbound Demo – Verify Material is in Stock and Blocked


Inbound Demo – Explicitly Define “Blocking Location”


Inbound Demo – Dock to Stock Put Away to “Blocking Location”

Purchase Put-away

Add Lines to Wave - Add all load lines for the sales order

Execute and Release Wave - Work is created for mobile device processing

Process Work - Material is picked, staged, and loaded

Ship Confirm - Final step in shipment processing

Note: Rating a shipment is optional, but must be done before Ship Confirm

Transportation Management

R3


Transportation Management Features

• Transportation Planning Optimize the shipping process based upon due date, cost, and equipment capacity.

• Rating Loads

Configure rating structures and shop for rates based on charges, such as fuel and customs duties.

• Routing

Set up route plans and route guides for complex transportation processes and determine carrier routes based on mode.

• Transportation Engines

Import logic that is used for automatic routing and rate selection.

• Appointment Scheduling

Set up appointment types and set up appointment notifications as batch jobs to track upcoming appointments. An option for instant appointments is also provided.

• Freight Reconciliation

Use an automatic or a manual process to reconcile freight bills with carrier invoices.
