AX2012 Purchasing with: Advanced warehouse management and quarantine management.

If it’s ever been an issue for you that no items in Contoso CEU are set up with both advanced warehouse management and quarantine management this information might be useful to you.

Here you get a cheat sheet that you can use to set up Contoso CEU in order to handle an advanced warehouse procedure like the following in AX2012.


 

Go to Inventory and warehouse management/Setup/Inventory breakdown/Warehouses

  • ·       Select warehouse 28.
  • ·       Click Inquiries/Inventory aisles.
  • ·       Select Aisle 01, and click Inventory location.
  • ·       Click New.
  • ·      
  • ·       Save to create the location.

The above setup indicates that we do not control each location within the quarantine area separately; we just see the entire quarantine area as one location.

Close the form and go to Product information management/Released products and select item 1601

Navigate to the action pane tab Manage Inventory and click Warehouse items

  • ·       Click New and add warehouse items for warehouse 28:
  • ·      

Save and close

From the detailed item form open the item model group FRP_Pick.

  • ·      
  • ·       Select the Quarantine management check box and close the form.

This way you enable quarantine management for the item arrival journal lines. You can also set this parameter for individual item arrival journal lines

 

Now item 1601 is set up with advanced warehouse management and quarantine order, so try the procedure:

Go to Procurement and sourcing/Purchase orders/All purchase orders
