Good afternoon,

 

I have a scenario that I am reaching to help for:

 

When a shop order is requesting and reserving material to be moved on a transport task from stores to point of use, let’s say for example an inventory part and the quantity they reserve is 4,000 ea. This inventory part we buy and stock comes in lot sizes of 6,000 ea. Once the material is reserved and on a transport task - warehouse workers cannot edit that amount so they are forced to physically take the entire 6,000/ea lot size to the point of use, but within IFS it shows only a move of 4,000. So we have to take 6,000 physically, but IFS says we are taking only 4,000. According to research the only option at the moment is the handle this offline and make sure the remaining material is returned back to stores. 

 

Has anyone else ran into this issue and is their alternative solutions?

 

Hi,
When you said “stock comes in lot sizes of 6,000 ea” I assume goods are packed in a HU which contains 6000 ea. Is that correct?
If so, have you chosen to Optimize Handling Units (Site > Inventory > Reservation tab)?
