With the release of Dynamics AX 2012 R3, full warehouse
management and transportation management will be incorporated into the core AX
product. Some of the key elements of the new warehouse management functionality
are outlined below.
Integrated Data Collection / Bar-Coding
One of the most notable benefits of the new
functionality will be the ability to utilize hand-held data collection devices
(bar-code scanners) without the need to purchase 3rd party software.
This, of course, allows workers in the warehouse and on the production floor to
gain real-time access to Dynamics AX. The bar-coding devices will support
purchasing and receiving processes, inventory adjustments, transfers, and stock
counts, issuing materials to production orders and reporting production as
finished, as well as the pick, pack, and ship process.
Workflow and Process Optimization
Warehouse management functionality does, of
course, go beyond simple handheld data collection. Dynamics AX will now support
configurable workflows. These workflows can be used to optimize the receiving
and put-away processes, as well as the picking, packing, and loading of goods
for delivery to customers.
License Plate Numbers
Dynamics AX will now support full License
Plate Control, whereby pallets / containers can be assigned a unique license
plate number. When receiving or putting away an item, items can be assigned to
a specific license plate (i.e. to a specific container / pallet). Then, when
that container or pallet is transferred, shipped, or received at a new
location, the user need only indicate which license plate is being moved, and
all of the items stored on that container/pallet will be updated as well,
without having to individually identify them.
