Hello all,
our customer has a production, where mixing of material batches for one production is not allowed.
This means, each material requirement of a manufacturing or sales order can only be satisfied from one batch.
In AX there is a setting "same batch selection" which takes care of the sales order reservation process. In order to benefit from this, dimension "batch" has to be specified as planning dimension (tracking group).
As soon, as I use this setting, I am no longer able to consume inventory.
Reason is:
Inventory has specific batch information, requirement has empty batch dimension and master plan does not consolidate across batches. According to my finding:
As soon as one uses batch as planning dimension it is no longer possible to consume inventory!
I understand the "failing consolidation" process, which is caused by dimension "batch" being planning dimension. On the other hand it is hard to believe, that inventory consumption no longer works.
Is there someone, who has succesfully dealt with this issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
