Hello!
I've been trying to automatically create packages from my production.
I try to explain:
- I have product A, I set-up a package of 5.
- Then I trigger a production order for 50.
- I have 3 step production, for pick material, produce and store finished goods.
- When storing finished products I would like to store 10 packs, instead of 50 units.
I mean, after producing units I need the packed into packs.
I'm using V.16. and the only way to do this is when storing I create several lines manually splitting my quantity and putting them into packages.
Or even, when in post-production I have a rule to ship to client from there, so having the packages already created, would be easier to create labels and everything, something like box 1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3 of 10, etc etc
Any possible way for doing this without external apps?
Thanks for your answers.
Indeed, I know how to create packages, the problem I see is that in inventory you have to know exactly your packaging and then divide your qty and split into packages this by manually adding lines, writing the packaging qty into each line, for a big production this could lead to error really quick.
So if I understand to Lars, there's no possible way to do this automatically?
Thanks, I did suspect I wasn't specifically addressing the question.
That is correct, there isn't a way to create packages with a fixed product and qty automatically without customization.
The current functionality manages packages which can have multiple products and varied qty, while creating and managing packages (creating, adding products & qty, removal or unpacking) are manual.
But it should not be to difficult to create a server action, you can use when the situation is what suit this. For user: Push a button (or from the action menu) that divide qty into product package qty, and create the packages.
I am in a middle of a project where we will develop something similar. (But not exactly the same). Most likely ready in Q4.
