Problem

During Pick or Put-away, I am asked to register Item and Bin along with Lot or and Serial Number .

This takes too long because I have many lines.

Solutions

Use Outbound Tracking but don

for each line individual serial number 


Solution: Don't track on

warehouse

Warehouse/

bin level

Bin-level (Warehouse Tracking)

This way you will see One line, where you can register i.e. 10 different Lot or Serial numbers onto.And not see 10 , instead of 10 lines where you have to register Bin and Item each time.


How to set it up in Business Central / NAV:

On the Items "Item Tracking Code" perform the following set-up.

  • Enable "SN Specific Tracking"
  • Enable "Outbound SN Sales Tracking"
  • Disable "SN Warehouse Tracking"

There are two levels of Item Tracking

Expand

First level: SN/Lot-specific tracking

If

you still need Warehouse tracking

You will have to:

Write some custom code and set-up

you want to track specific items or specific lots throughout their lifetime, you must choose the SN Specific Tracking and Lot Specific Tracking fields, respectively.

As a result, when handling an outbound unit of an item with this item tracking code, you must always specify which existing serial number or which existing lot number to handle.

This means that when selling a unit of the item, it must be applied against a specific pool of serial numbers or a specific lot number in inventory.

Or in other words, a serial number or lot number assigned to the item when entering into inventory must follow that item type out of inventory.


Info

Orders handle Items as a pool.

The warehouse worker can Pick/Put-away/Move/Count whichever piece of the correct Item.

Tracking information is not stored on Warehouse Entries.


The system knows:

  • An Item is in Inventory with 100 pcs. with 100 serial numbers. 
  • They are stored in four different Bins.

The system does not know:

  • Which Serial Numbers are in which Bins.


Second Level: Full SN/Lot Warehouse Tracking

Select only Warehouse Tracking if you have a need to know how each specific Serial/Lot is stored or handled all the way through the warehouse.

Example:

  • Was the Goods stored in refrigerated Bin?
  • Are we Picking the exact Item the Customer wants?
  • You want to enable "Pick According to FEFO" (First Expired First Out) on the location.


Info

Orders handle Items individually.

The warehouse worker must Pick/Put-away/Move/Count the exact piece of the correct Item.

Tracking information is stored on Warehouse Entries.

Note: It is VERY cumbersome to use Full warehouse Tracking with Serial Numbers - you will have to scan each Serial for every warehouse activity.

The system knows:

  • An Item is in Inventory with 100 pcs. with 100 serial numbers. 
  • They are stored in four different Bins.
  • Which Serial Numbers are in which Bins.
