okay I'll welcome to what I believe is
the final session you this far we'll try
to keep you awake for another hour and
15 minutes this is advanced warehouse
management a day in the life process
manufacturing if you attend adjacent
sessions before this a lot of that was a
more deep dive more showing everything
in the inbound and outbound processes
this process session is going to be more
of a what's new oh we're going to show
what's improved since see you nine and
really even after see you 10 in regards
to process manufacturing before I go too
far my name is Tim satram i am a support
escalation engineer based out of Fargo
North Dakota here in the US I have been
with Microsoft for just under nine years
with six or seven years in the GP realm
always supporting manufacturing and
supply chain there and then after that I
moved over to ax right around the time
that warehousing came out and I've been
on it ever since also doing any supply
chain on the Exide as well johan yeah
hello everybody my name is Johan Hoffman
I'm work as a p.m. in the IT team in
Quebec where I've been working in the
manufacturing team for how many years
now I've been with Microsoft for ages
and I've been working very close with
the Tim after the release of our three
on the warehouse integration as such and
I think we often are in daily contact on
all this project such a team are working
is working with and we've been
continuously working on the integration
between warehousing and manufacturing
the title here is process industries
we've been engaged with a lot of
process industries customers but also
discreet customers and we see a lot of
these requirements are aligning so it's
not only applicable for the process
industry vertical for you will see today
it's also something that is applicable
across the different industries yeah so
I'll walk you through the again agenda
for this session um I have a nice job
here because I'm just going to tell you
the agenda and introduce the different
demos and then Tim he will do the demo
and that is great that is not completed
true i'm actually doing the the last
demo three demos are done by tim in ax
2012 and i will do the last demo in in
Dynamics AX the new one and we made this
enhancement in is the new new one and
then we are porting it back it has not
been it is being done now but we didn't
have the version ready so that's why I'm
showing it in the new one so the first
thing we are going to look at is what we
call policy for clicking in license
plate controlled locations we will see
how we can set up the criteria for
either doing order picking or staging
from license plate control locations of
course we will elaborate on on that then
we are going to talk about an
enhancement on enhancement on the
location directed for raw material
picking we will see how we can round up
work for raw material picking so the
quantity will match the handling unit in
which we are taking the material this is
only applicable is so far for the raw
material picking could also already hurt
that it can also be applicable further
picking processes but so far it's done
for raw material kicking
then we made some enhancements for
reporting as finished from the handheld
device so one of the LCL maybe a little
bit embarrassing gaps we had in the
first release was the ability the
ability to over produce and using scrap
on the the formula lines now we enhance
this scenario so we can set up
tolerances for production and using
scraps we also enabled the handheld user
to complete the production or bad
shoulder when reporting has finished
from the handheld device and that was
not possible in the first version you
could only report and then it would be a
back-end operation to to complete or in
the order we will of course tell you
more about that the last thing we are
going to demo a little bit is the the
use of serial numbers on the production
floor in the warehouse operations that
is both on the raw material side where
we consume material that are serialized
for the production orders will show you
how we can postpone the registration of
serial numbers at time of consumption
and we will also show an example on how
to register the serial number when we
report the finish good so these are four
things are the topic for this for this
session so let's start with the first
things first so the policies for picking
in license plate control locations so as
you know a warehouse location can be set
up to be license plate controlled or non
license plate control so that is do we
want to track your inventory on the
locations by the license plate or do you
not want to do that there's been a
special or speciality for raw material
picking so when you pick roman
for production from a non license plate
control location you will always pick
the order quantity so if the production
order requests 1,000 pounds of the
material then when you release work for
that production order work will be
generated for 1,000 pounds of that that
is not the case when you pick from what
you call license plate control locations
when that is done you always or the
warehouse worker will always click in
full or the full quantity of the license
plate that has been the implementation
that that came with the first version we
call that process staging so you staged
the license plates to the production
floor whereas the other method we call
that order picking where you pick the
requested quantity so that is all fine
lots of our customers want in general to
track the inventory bye bye bye license
plate and that is good also many of our
customers want to stage license plate to
the production floor but we also have
customers who don't want to stage the
entire license plate because they are
maybe only using a fraction of the of
the material on the license plate and
they don't have any other orders that we
will utilize what's remaining and then
they have to spend time bringing the
license plate or the helideck to the
warehouse it will also it can also be a
matter of how to utilize the space on
the production floor that you cannot
have that many pallets on the production
floor so you want to track it by license
plate but when you release work from the
the production orders you only want to
pick the requested quantity from the
older so what we did we introduced this
policy how to control license plate
controlled location or how to control
clicking on license plate central
location do you want to do order picking
or do we want to do staging so the
option to do order picking from license
plate control location that is what we
in
deuce now mmm so this has been an
enhancement that we made based on the
feedback we got from various customers
and this is both in the process
industries but it is also in indiscreet
industry and this enhancement Cape came
with the KP article that you can see
here and I have also written a blog post
that where I go into all the details
about how to set it up and and also
where a detailed example on how it works
but you will see that now because now
I'll give it over to with Tim who will
show you how that works yeah and before
I start in on the demo you can flip over
to six one thing for the people here
that maybe don't use process this is all
new to you if you're picking location is
not license plate tract it's always
going to be ordered picking that this
functionality is really only for license
plates so if we're picking a license
plate the the previous functionality was
bring the whole license plate think of
it as a hundred pound bag of flour
bridge is going to bring the whole bag
of flour into our manufacturing area and
use it throughout the day even though
our order was only for 75 so it made
sense to move the whole license plate
every time it's more when we have larger
items where it doesn't make sense to
take up space in the manufacturing floor
that we out of this order picking
functionality so what I'm going to show
here is an example of both and my items
probably don't make the most sense
because I did a bunch of small items so
sorry so my first my stage example I'm
going to create some pasta and the only
thing I'm putting in my pasta is cheese
I'm not very good at making pasta
so to show how this is set up first i'm
going to show you the cheese because
that is where our option is to do our
material picking in the license plate
location so here staging was the
original functionality that same take
the whole license plate bring the whole
license plate into the input location
and just to show you what we have i'm
going to do manage inventory my own
hands i have a hundred physical
inventory
and I have it all on one license plate
LP seven in location LP 007 and my pasta
we're going to do a very simple formula
where we need 60 quantity of cheese to
make 10 pieces of pasta 10 packets of
pasta I kept everything as each is for
these two examples just to make them go
quick I also did not create a route to
keep things going quickly so excuse me
next thing also use the location
directive there's nothing major in this
it's just the default location directive
that comes in canto so at least for this
example it is and like I said I'm not
going to go in-depth on location
directives and location profiles all of
that just to we're mainly going for the
showing the new functionality in here
but for those that have been working
with whs you have a pic and a foot for
your oven terial picking you're setting
your pic here when it goes from the pic
it goes down to the lines tells you how
to locate quantity how you're going to
separate your lines and then chooses
your directive actions this was
considered a wide-open location
directive I'm not setting anything
specific here would maybe show the Clery
just to see that it's totally flexible
so you can set up a query to say ok for
this yep yeah so right now I'm just
saying warehouse 51 any location that
has physical inventory is available to
set as my location for work if I if I
wanted to specify only pick from bulk
locations or only pick from picking
locations anything like that you
get way more granular with it and Jason
kind of touched on that in the earlier
sessions but for this we're going to
keep things wide open so we can do
examples of both and see how the
inventory comes in
yeah we're missing it oh sorry about
that so next let's take a look at the
warehouse which can be reached from set
up warehouse set up warehouses and the
reason why I'm coming in here is because
so those that have worked with process
and whs when you have a route and you
have resources you can set your input
locations based by your resource and so
you can have different different areas
of your production and you can have
where your raw material picking will
bring your raw materials to a specific
resource input location since I didn't
do a route it defaults back to this
default production input location if you
have no doubt or if it can't find a
production input location anywhere else
this is the last place it stops yeah so
in general you can set up the the works
will be split her operation if you if
your operation are on different physical
places then of course you want to direct
your material to the case of consumption
right and so that's an example that is
that I want my cheese to go to my first
input location further down I have
packing so I want my palettes and my
wrapping and everything to be at another
location you can set those up different
operations different resources and then
on the resources you can specify
different input locations and so your
raw material picking will direct them
based on those so I've already gotten
way more depth on that than I planned
but since we don't have any we don't
have a route we don't have resources
we're setting a default and that's where
our work is going to pull from the other
nice thing about coming into this window
is as part of the order picking kb that
were
showing an example of now we also added
this issue status after the raw material
picking option and we have options of
reserved physical or picked before the
kb everything was treated as picked
which meant deducted as soon as we have
completed the work so rather than as
soon as it gets put to the location it's
removed from inventory you know more
visibility into it's considered into
whip i guess the new option reserved
physical we've completed the work we put
it into the input location we still see
it an inventory but it has a reserved
physical status so you still have
visibility into that where before you
didn't so next i'm going to create a
bachelor for the pasta
and you saw I pulled in my quantity of
10 I'm going to do my reservations on
release create my order
estimate
and release so that my work is created
during the release
so you can see here and we'll show in
the next one our work is created
essentially the same the the
functionality is more on the mobile
device you're going to see a difference
but before this production order we've
created work to grab 60 cheese out of
the LP seven location and deliver it to
my my input location of 002 so I'm going
to log in to the mobile device yes yep
no it is always at release and you
relieve based on what you have reserved
so there's a dependency on reservation
as you can see Tim set up the system to
reserve at release if you have reserved
less like a manual reservation work will
only have been generated for that
portion of course the material ok so I'm
going to do just my production picking
and as a reminder this is my staging so
this is where we're going to grab the
entire license plate
and you'll see our required quantity is
60 I'm going to put in my LP seven and I
know my license plate we can just
pretend I'm they're scanning it when i
click ok it looks at that license plate
and it says you actually have a quantity
of 100 on it so you need to pick up the
entire 100 and I notice identify an
extra kb so i apologize but this is
going to look a little odd when it
finishes here and we so we do our pick
next is our put it says we're putting 60
there is a kb that addresses that so now
it says you're putting 100 sorry I I
thought I had everything on here so I'm
going to complete my foot
and so my work has been completed
there's nothing really to see here it
keeps our work quantity of 60 because
our work was our work for that
production order was still 60 if you
come look at our on hand by location I
now have an additional 40 in my input
location of 002 that was left over and
there is nothing left in that LP seven
location so it doesn't show up anymore
next we'll move on to pizza which is
going to show the order picking
functionality once again I'm not very
good at making stuff so pizza is only
pepperoni there's nothing else in it and
just to show you the change in setup
very basic
scroll down to the warehouse and
management section and this one is set
to order picking save on time i'll just
tell you the the formula is exactly the
same i need 60 so I'm that's all I plan
to pick so I'm going to go create
another order
for my generic pizza
so we will estimate
and do the release to create my work
surprisingly I haven't had an air yet
I'd pretend that it was on purpose i
come from the sport org so i like to see
airs my work as you can see is exactly
the same except for we got different
products here we'll go through the mole
device to do the picking
and I already know it's LP 8 is what
it's located on what I didn't show is my
own hand right now in LP 008 is one
license plate of a hundred exact same as
what i had for the other item so here
we're saying 60 right now after we click
ok this is where we switch to 100 on the
staging example now it stays at 60 we're
only going to pick 60 so
so I'm put into my location only 60
rather than the hundred and just show
that in the warehouse
my 002 has nothing extra of the
pepperoni and back in our LPS 008
location we still have the 40 left over
on the license plate at the picking
location so one question could be that
in the example way you did the staging
then you have the excessive material on
the input location so what happens next
time you create a bad shoulder and
release that then of course it will be
looking at the input location if there
is any material there it will take that
of course it will not generate new work
if there is sufficient material on the
on the input location yeah if you want
to do the staging and if it was auto
picking it will only take the remaining
exactly so we didn't do the consumption
yet what the team told about this that
was picked or research physical it it
confuses that was why we introduced the
researchers physical because when when
it is status picked it appears as the
doctors in the unhand form and they said
where is it we didn't consuming it and
so if you use a reserve physical then
you can see it there so there's an
option and just to wrap up what we
showed was the difference between the
way work before now we added the ordered
or quantity option so that we don't have
to take the full license plate and you
can set it up based on item you don't
have to apply it to everything it if you
have some I items that it makes more
sense to order pick do that or if you
want to do everything by license plate
you can keep it that way as well
no so the question was does it consider
same path selection it's a functionality
we know on the sales side where you say
I'm going to sell a customer 1000 pieces
and I want to ensure that the system
only or we only ship the same page we
don't want to mix patches and that is
unfortunately so far only applicable on
the sales side we heard that requirement
that could be nice also to have under
your production side yes that's good for
that demo okay thank you we feel each
other once a year so sorry okay so with
that said will then take the next topic
so the next topic we call round of work
for raw material picking and so in
example that the team just showed we we
formulated the material in in each us it
could also be typically pounds if we're
talking for example food industries and
so we formulate an impound we want to we
want to manufacture 4,400 pounds of
something and in order to do that we
need 510 point 10 pounds of an
ingredient and we also consume it in in
pounds but the reality is that the
world's worker what he is or she sees is
the bags 50-pound bags or helots
different handling units so that is
interesting and the first before yeah
when we acquire the solution what the
system will do and that is applicable
for some customers we would be able to
generate work in in this example if it's
50-pound bags then it will generate work
telling the whales we got to pick 10
50-pound bags 500 pounds and then we
have a remaining quantity of 10 point 10
pounds so the warehouse worker would
have to break the back take his weight
and then way off 10 point 10 pounds and
actually got confirmed that some
customers do that so that what is it is
the task of the warehouse worker to
weigh out of the the order quantity but
of course we I had some dialogue and
very fast we got the feedback that is
not the way we do it because we don't
want that we asked whether to run around
with a wake under his arm he's moving
handling units and then what is going to
be weighed of that is going to happen on
the machine so that implies that they
they would like to see that we can round
up the quantity to match the
the handling unit and that actually
means they were picking so we we worked
on that and introduced that again yeah
the resulting work in this what we can
do now we can also do the before example
but what we can do now is that we can in
this example round up to the 11 bags and
and that is what Tim is going to to show
you now so I'll hand it over to to Tim
again this was shipped with the KP
article so it's something you can
download if you want to have this and
there's also a blog post that you can
look into and on these blog posts you
can also comment so that is for me also
a good source of feedback that's a good
thing to point out so the previous one
there was a blog post as well on the
very first comment on law asked the the
staging versus order picking was hey
this is great but you know what would be
better if we could round up and so yeah
from there we were able to get this one
yeah
so you can round up on the bill of
material that is possible actually when
I was in the dialogue during the
development or scoping of this my first
suggestion would be to round up on the
material line but then the feedback was
no that that doesn't work because when
you estimate the production order then
it will estimate according to the
rounded up quantity but the reality in
this example is that you only consume
510 point 10 pounds for the order that
means that when when the order is done
you have a remaining quantity lift on
the input location there can be consumed
by the next order or broad back if you
round up on the material line then then
you round up the consumed quantity so
that will see that is also an option and
that might be applicable for some
customers you or you are able to do the
round off on the material line as part
of the legacy functionality okay okay
demo and six still number six all right
sorry for this one I'm doing making soup
and all I'm putting in is flour which
not going to be very tasty and I took
you on to example right down to it that
my formula size is 4475 my quantity that
I need to make that is 515 dot 15 and
like you said it we do 50 pounds of big
so to get to that it's going to be 10
bags plus an extra 10 pounds 10.15
pounds so in order to get the work I'm
first going to show what happens now at
a typical customer how they're going to
set this up so for that I'm going to
dive into a location directive a little
bit kind of show more of what you can do
with it and for this we are work order
type raw material picking
and we're concentrated on the pic we're
just going to put to the input location
so there's not much to do there my first
sequence i am going to restrict by unit
i'm just going to add one now as well
that goes to the same quantities I just
want to have one that picks up bags and
I want to have one that picks up pounds
separately and if I flip back to hear
after I've saved with my restrict by
unit checkbox the restrict by unit
option comes up i'm going to change that
to bags
andrey sort it so that it makes sense if
you haven't done much with where else
just remember it goes in sequences so
right now I'm doing the pic the first
thing I'm going to do is I'm going to
try to pick based on bags first and if
if I don't finish by doing that I'm
going to come down and do my picking by
pounds after that and I do need to add
an action
it's going to say i'm picking pounds i'm
going to leave it wide open again
because i can pick from anywhere I
actually have all of my quantities in
the same location some companies will do
it where bags are in one location and
the extra scrap or not strap but extra
pounds of material are in a different
location and so that's why they'll break
it up and then they will specifically
send people to that location to grab a
bag or a pound or whatever else so maybe
you should also mention that that of
course we had a relation between the
bags and the pounds and that is the unit
conversion on the on the item and we
also have this unit sequence group yeah
yep so unit sequence group every item
that is where else enabled as a unit
sequence group to identify what units it
can be stored in and the default units
that can be used for these two items we
are going pounds of the lowest unit the
way this window reads is Lois the
largest and Biggs is the larger unit and
flipping back to my items
you can see my conversion is one bag
equals 50 pounds
and provided I set everything up
correctly just for your note I have
5,000 of these sitting in a proud input
location which is named really wrong
it's not a input location that's just
the name of the location it is not LP
track so we're not going to have any
examples of that right here but we'll go
ahead and create a production order or
my disgusting soup
all right so that same order i'm going
to estimate and release to create my
work and this is where we want to show
this was what happened before that this
was typical setup of a customer that was
running into this so you can see before
we would grab 10 bags and we still have
an extra 15 point 15 pounds that we'd
have to weigh off and bring separate
from all the bags so what this new KD
did is added the ability to round up and
if you were paying attention to in the
location directive the check boxes there
it's just a real quick change so I'm
going to cancel this work just go off
the same production order we're going to
move it off the wave
so to enable the new functionality I'm
going to go back to my location
directive raw material picking and it's
the pic so what we want to do is we want
to round up the line that is associated
with bags and because we've done this we
really don't need that second line
anymore so we can just remove that off
of there and so now what this is saying
is we want to only do bags and we want
to round up so that if we're over 10
under 11 we want to round up make sure
we have 11 and I'll go back to my
production order to rerelease
and you can see new work is created and
now we get a quantity of 11 bags instead
of breaking off into a separate pounds i
think if you click on the transaction on
the lines so here you can actually see
that the material line is requesting the
orders quantity and there it is research
work and there's something left and that
is what is going to be left if you back
crush your production order from from
that operation so I'll actually complete
the work from the form here
and then my input location will have
that extra quantity available so you can
see my flower in the quantity that
Johann pointed out before the 34 is
available in the input location that's
it for that one yeah okay so the risk
now is it's available after if your back
flush then then there will be this
remaining party animal remains there
until you consume it and that is the
point that if you create a new
production order for the same material
it will take that and create work for
the remaining
yeah yeah
there's an excess material on the input
location you or what your or picked
because you didn't want to way of you
you want to pick in whole bags so you
have some excessive material there and
that will be considered during the next
release so next time because you had 34
extra and there was 515 so the next time
it would grab 10 bags instead of 11 pics
yeah you put all of course also bring it
back if you want to do that ok and then
I'll switch back and so reporting as
finished is that the title here and with
the warehouse solution and manufacturing
what we've seen until now is you could
call it pure warehouse processes but of
course you also have all the operation
processes or the production processes
starting production order reporting on
jobs reporting as finish it is also has
warehouse implications because you
report the finish good to the inventory
and so that that also came with with the
solution the option to report is
finished from the handheld device it was
only enabled for four discrete orders or
for production orders what we did was we
also enable it for bed shoulders so you
can also report on go and buy products
and we we did need to do some work there
and it was not possible to to end a
production order so when the warehouse
worker reported her last hella tour last
potion there was no way to indicate that
well now this order is finished so if
you look at the orders in the back end
you will just see a started order or an
order in progress so that message has to
be done not through the
through other channels so we quickly got
the feedback that should be possible for
the machine operator in some cases to
say now I did the last report here so I
want to close out the order for then on
another we also got the fever I know
that is not the they're not doing this
it's handled back end and there was an
option and handle option called last
helot so that was a separate menu item
so after you reported as finished you
would select this last pellet it's still
there you scan the production or bad
shoulder number and what happened was
that it put a mark on the order and then
you could use a filter back end and
filter all the orders with this less
tell it and then you could as a bag and
operation reporters finish so little
more and there was also some because
they actually a lot of things happen
when you int mark a production order if
you have not for example consumed the
full quantity of materials you will have
open transactions there if you want to
close the order of course it should also
clean up all these open transactions so
they are not generating demand also for
the finished product if you are
reporting for example or under put under
producing it should also clean up the
remaining hat so you do not for example
selling stuff that is not coming so when
it it sounds simple but there's a lot to
this in the option but that is something
we worked on and now introduced the
option to int mark a production order
and there's also a little story about a
parameter called physical production
that is a part of the legacy sweet that
I think sim will tell you about it is
relating to using scrap consider for
example process industry scenario where
you are producing 1,000 pounds of some
you have ingredients and one on one or
the ingredient you estimate scrap so
from experience you squared five percent
during the process but you might be
loggia you might have a very skilled
machine operator a good machine that day
so you don't scrap 5% you only square
two percent so instead of scrubbing
ingredients you actually manage to get
more out of the machine more finish good
that is a work production but you do
that with the same amount of material
and what egg crossing is normally doing
is it's it's a consuming proportional to
what your report is finished so it's a
reporter if you or produce it will also
over-consume but you don't want that in
this scenario I just explained it should
just consume the estimated quantity
4,000 pounds and you should be able to
report thousand and fifty pounds you can
do that with the physical reduction
parameter and that has always in there
in the in the in the back end but of
course that is also a feedback we got
from especially the process industry
segments that when you imp with
overproducing and you will have this
parameter set then it should not a route
because if you don't say that it will
era of saying I don't have enough
material on the input location you only
you only brought the estimated quantity
so now there's a lot to this story
because we also had issues with our
producing in general so where we enable
that and we did that by leveraging
something called quantitative vegetation
perimeter or tolerances so you can set
up a
surplus that that you allowed to meet a
threshold and that is what we did and we
had again more information here a
separate blog post for what production
how to enable that and then also a blog
post for for reporting it as finished
with the end mark and also an explicit
explanation about this fiscal reduction
option so with that said I'll give it
over to to Tim again for a demo a note
on the overproduction blog post was
there is actually an end script scenario
down at the bottom of that blog post so
it's great you're going to see pretty
much the same example here but it's
something good to provide customers that
want to understand it better and well
partners that want to understand it
better as well so for this scenario
first thing we're going to do is just
standard overproduction we're not going
to end mark anything we're not going to
do any physical reduction that'll come
later before when you tried to over
produce from the mobile device we didn't
allow it you'd get an error saying
quantity reporters finish exceeds the
quantity started tire you can't do this
you'd have to do it from the from the
client itself so to allow over
production now we need to adjust a few
things and it's handled under as he said
manufacturing execution production
parameters
and under reporters finished the first
thing we check here is except there is
necessary for overproducing and so I
could after that what we did with
leverage the way the reporting has
finished from the manufacturing
execution system works so that is it
exactly the same way we do it with the
handheld and that is the way it would it
works I think this except error is a
little bit ambiguous parameter to have
except why why should we accept and
their asset but what we did with this as
far as we came but this fix was to
leverage the wave manufacturing
execution works we later would like to
enhance handset in general both for
manufacturing execution and also for a
BLT okay and what I filled out well
Johannes falconeri's we want to validate
the feedback quantity this is what
allows us to do any or reproduction I'm
going to base mine off of the production
plan quantity you can do it off the
started quantity for my first example
i'm just going to do surplus production
of ten percent and i'm going to allow
production shortage of one hundred
percent just in case i want to only
produce half of a batch at a time so i'm
going to go back to my pasta order and
something that and we didn't demo here
and i'm trying to remember when it was
added is you can do a production start
from the mole device now i don't think
that was available it has it was sorry i
know that a lot of people have started
using that in in their warehouses to
have people on the floor start their
productions rather than coming back into
ax to do it
so I'm going to start my pasta order and
then I'm going to go back to my mobile
device and I'm going to do a wrap and
put away report is finished and put away
you know see it comes up with the prompt
of we're going to do a quantity of 10
well for whatever reason the staff was
way more efficient today and they
created 12 off of this production order
and here you can see it's gone back to
check my feedback quality and remember I
put ten percent so the most i should be
able to do is 11 it's not going to let
me put in 12 unless my feedback quantity
is increased so if i switch that back
and i'll say i only finished 11 it will
allow me to over produce in a second
and tricked it
alright so it finished the the raft
process or the pic process and now it's
saying you need to put these 11 into L
p.001 I had the auto generate LP option
marked on my menu item also the menu
item is part of another example here so
I'll just go ahead complete that my work
is completed and if i refresh my order
my remaining status is now ended and
what he was talking about it with you
now have the ability to end do and
during your port is finished because I
didn't do that now I still have a status
of started if I was able to end it would
change to report is finished so that
will be our next example so in order to
do and marking it's an option that can
be set on your mobile device item I'm
going to go back to set up mobile
devices mobile device menu items and go
to my RAF and put away
and down here is the new check box that
gets added by the KB article and that
just allows the job to be ended and what
this does is it adds a drop-down box to
your mobile device menu item that gives
you n job as an option by default it's
always going to be no unless you set a
default so you'll have to switch it to
us and we'll just go run through an
example of that and I'm actually going
to increase my feedback quantity because
I'm just going to do it on the same
production order
so and that for those that haven't
worked with whs very much to see changes
with mobile device menu item you don't
have to log out you don't have to do
anything like that you just have to
cancel out go back into it now i have my
end job as an option so i'm going to do
the same production order
pasta I'm going to overproduce by one
and I'm going to mark my end job as yes
and now it's let me move on because I
increase my tolerance click OK my work
is completed let me go back to the
production order and you can see now my
pasta went from started status to
reporters finish because we finished the
off of all those or we finished
reporting is finished
yeah so we have an option holder move by
template so if you have material there
you can scan by the license plate and it
will generate work and you could also
have this location directive telling you
we're identifying a free location for
for that to go back or if it's going to
a fixed location it will do that
depending on your setup of this template
so that is a different to work type it's
not raw material picking it would be
what we call move by template yeah
yeah it will generate warehouse work but
we're dead you also have the option to
override the suggested location so if
you want to put it somewhere else you
could you could overwrite that but it is
still going to be a pic put pair yeah
right based off of yes it would be a
different work template
yeah so we have that in our backlog to
have separate have Aaron others example
for the handheld device so you'll be
able to set up and with this fixed we
liberate the existing and that was a
also a scoping decision but I get
totally get you on your point that this
except error is actually it is taking a
lot of things for first of all I think
the nature of the production or the
region was a very discreet where you say
if I produce that many finished goods I
consume this that many raw materials and
that must fit so there was a an era if
you try to produce more that then it was
because you forgot to account for the
materials but when we come into these
more advanced scenarios or process
industries it's it's not uncommon to two
or produce or have tolerances in the
output it kind of goes into my next
example here so with pasta which we just
finished if you remember my raw material
was the stage raw material so I had
plenty of extra in the input location to
over produce for pizza I only moved 60
pepperoni so I can only make 10 pizzas
off of that so what we're going to show
here now is where the physical reduction
flag comes into play because I don't
have anymore in my input location I
don't have anything more to help me over
produce so let me go and start my pizza
I'll foot back to my mobile device
and just to split things up on my first
run I did 5 i'm not going to end my job
now because i'm still going to do an
additional run everything there looks
good we put to the finish good location
when i run through it again i'm actually
going to report us finish six because i
was able to create another one and i'm
going to flip my ends up to yes because
there will be no more runs after this
and i click ok and you get this error
because like i said pepperoni was order
picking so we only brought 62 the
location so based on the formula i would
need another six in order to create an
extra one and because i don't have that
that's kind of where that physical
reduction flag comes in to play is we're
saying we were more efficient for
whatever reason we were able to make 11
pizzas off of the ingredients for 10 so
we shorted people on probably so i'm
going to go and set my a physical
reduction which is a production
parameter under production control and
journals
and like Johan said this was existing
functionality before that you could use
in ax this is just the first time we've
added it to the mobile device so now
when I come back here I'm still choosing
to my end my job I'm still overproducing
and when I click OK it's not doing it
back up oh I haven't saved
and now I'm able to finish my pic or
finish my RAF process and it allows me
to put the overproduction away so that
is another thing and correct me if I'm
wrong physical production or physical
reduction slag is only available with
and job all right yes yes so we'll so
I'm gonna keep in mind that was
deliverable something we did but
business right it's only kicking in when
you put in the intial because otherwise
you could come into problems yep so that
covers the overproduction it covers the
ending production and covers the
physical reduction which takes care of
that demo yeah so you have more
questions we don't have that much time
so i will switch to the last section
here and serial numbers in production so
so far we have some connectivity
problems so if i'm going to show you one
on the new ax then i have to be able to
connect i put up the example on the 2012
one of the things so i'll show you what
i can there if this is not working just
check
but so far we've been very I think
process centric so serial numbers is
maybe not that serious s centric the
customers I've been speaking with was a
discrete manufacturers machine builders
and so on and they of course have the
the requirements for tracing and
tracking by the serial number dimension
and we had a great deal of that already
with what came in our three so when you
have a serial controlled material in the
warehouse you can the warehouse worker
can scan and that particular serial
number and bring it to the the
production floor so that is possible
already and but the feedback we got is
that in many cases you actually don't
want to register all these serial
numbers when you receive materials so
you bring it into your inventory you
don't want to break up hell it with 200
valves in order to scan each of all
these serial numbers so you bring it
into inventory where you actually want
to track is in which production order
did I consumed with serial number so we
want to kind of postpone the tracking of
the serial number until consumption time
in production so that is the time where
the Machine of a Raider takes as well
then look at the engraved serial number
and then then register that and then we
can then we can track against the
production order one question that will
obviously pop up is ok what if you have
a production order of 10 pieces and you
register one cell number which of these
10 and the finish coat is serial
controlled so which of the tented this
so number brawny go into we call this
like the Bill of material so kind of a
cross reference between the finish coat
cereal and the raw material cereal is
not something we have is something we
here and would like to to build
step here is the postponed registered
sealed at the point of consumption so
that was the kind of the material part
also what was not possible was to
register reporters finished by serial
from the handheld device the scenario
here we worked with a customer also a
machine builder so they create a
production order for 10 pieces when they
create the order the serial numbers are
generated by the system we print out
labels machine operator starts
assembling the first one of the machines
or whatever part when that is finished
they will scan the serial number and
then it's reported as finished to the to
the inventory so that is what we build
these two capabilities and let's see if
i can get this alive and then i'll show
it in the in the new a X or the Y a B X
dynamic eggs
and I think it was kind to me so again
you have you have a blog post the blog
post is only addressing the material
side so postpone register sale at
confirm time of consumption I will be
writing a blog post also on the
reporters finish side so let's look at
this example so I'll go to the
production control
so here are my production orders I will
create a new production order for a
product this product this product is
called T 5172 it's a bell it's in
warehouse 51 and I have a filler
material and I'll set up an order for
let's say 10 pieces and I have the
reservation here I could set it to its
estimation time and then i create the
order so now this order is created if i
look at the the transactions for the
finish coat i can see that it was
automatically generating the serial
numbers this is standard functionality
we have something called a serial number
group on the on the item level where you
can set up the format of the serial
number also the timing so this was a
creation time it could also be a time of
reporting from the inventory if we look
at the the bill of material we have a
flow meter that is just the example so
we are going to consume one flow meter
and that is a serialized item and if i
look at the on hand for this flow meter
I'll go to the overview here so I can
look at the dimensions it's under this
bulk location in the warehouse as you
can see if i open the dimensions display
and and mark the serial number it was
received in the inventory without
registering the serial numbers so we
would we don't track the serial numbers
at this time we track it by a license
plate so if I like mark the license
plate dimension I can see that is placed
on LP 5 so that is all good so now i'm
going to start production of this so i'm
estimating the order and i set up the
system to do the physical reservation at
estimation and then i'm going to release
the order maybe i could schedule a yoda
and then release it
and at release warehouse work is
generated and looking at the warehouse
work
is it suggesting to to pick from this
altercation to my production input
location so now i'm going to process
this work so i use my handheld device
and I login to the device
and I will say production pic i will
scan my my work and i'll scan the
license plate on which the flow meters
are placed 10 pieces and then i'm going
to in this case actually staged it has
been set up two states 20 pieces i'm
only requesting 10 pieces that is the
policy that you learned about and now
work is completed things are moved to
the production input location as you can
see i was not prompted for any serial
numbers at that point in time so now i'm
starting consumption and then looking at
the bill of material line again I have a
flushing principle on the on the Bill of
material line and and we can see that
the flushing principal principal is said
to be manual so it will not flush when i
start the order of reporters finished
i'm actually reporting actuals here i'll
do it that i can say already now i do
the reporting as actual from the client
because we don't yet have the option to
report actual from the handled this is
something that lies on on our backlog
and we would very much like to build but
this is kind of the first step so I'm
going to start the order 10 pieces no
peeking list is generated because it's
flushing manually so I'm going to create
a picking list manually
I could also have had the system by
start generating the picking distended
don't post it or do I like to click so
sometimes so I will select this lot ID
and then I'm the machine operator and
now consume this flow meter so I learned
that I need to account for what I'm
consuming so I will immediately post
this but that is not possible because
you must register the serial number so
you cannot consume before you register
with serial number so I'll look at my
flow meter read this serial number and
then I will go through this little menu
or register serial numbers and then I'll
put in the the serial number and that's
it and now I should be able to post this
journal because I provided the serial
number this serial number would be
updated on the inventory issue
transaction and that way we are able to
track it through the inventory at that
level you can for example use this
tracing report to do so so this was the
this was the material part and now I
actually finished the Assembly of the
first the belt so I'll go and report one
of these serial numbers so looking at my
transactions of course I have a label
but there is a serial number here called
for example 51 so while you use that and
I'll go back to my handheld device I
will select a new menu item called
radius register serial number and then
I'll just put in the serial number and
of course it can identify the production
order based on the serial number is
unique for the serial number so I don't
need to scan that
and that actually completed the
reporting as finished at of that serial
number so if we go back to the
transaction and refresh then you can see
that the serial number was received at
the output location and put away work
was generated to to put it to his final
destination so that concluded the this
demo and I think it actually also how we
were a little bit over time okay we have
four minutes over sorry about that so
just to wrap up we learned about these
policies for doing or taking a station
from license plate control locations we
learned about how to round off the
quantity you want to pick through the
handling units you have in the inventory
the material is in the inventory we
learned about in marking from the
handheld device the physical with
auction parameter setting up rules for
production also actually under
production is also included in these
tolerances and then at last some
enhancements to handling serial numbers
in production so that concludes this
round and we'll be happy to see also you
providing us feedback and then we also
open for questions you'll also have our
email addresses there so you can shoot
us an email will not maybe answer right
away for there and you know these the
feedback channels Yammer group and you
can look at the blog post where you can
also provide feedback thank you very
much
