Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with receiving project inventory.
Here is the situation:
There are 3 different projects that all need the same part at the same time. Because of this, PMRP creates:
-
3 purchase requisitions
-
3 purchase order lines
-
3 separate receipts for the same item
When the parts are received, they first go to an arrival/inspection location.
After inspection, the warehouse team needs to scan the items and move them to the final stock location (the default location). The customer wants to use scanners to reduce errors.
The problem is that because there are 3 separate receipts, the warehouse team has to do the putaway process 3 times for the same item.
I suggested using standard inventory:
-
Move the items to the final stock location first
-
Then transfer the inventory to the projects
However, the customer wants to track the PO and inventory from the purchase requisition stage from the project, so they do not want to use this approach.
We also tried the following:
-
From Cloud, use the “Move to Stock” page
-
Select multiple receipts and move them to a dummy picking location to close the receipts
-
Then use Move Inventory (WADACO) to move the items to the final stock location
But this still requires multiple scans for the same item, especially because the inventory is connected to projects and the user must select the project activity each time.
Is there a better way to handle project connected inventory so that receiving and putaway is easier for the warehouse team?
Happy to hear your thoughts
