1.       Our system is configured as FIFO – Automated however whenever we make WH/OUT system does not take serials as per the FIFO method instead.

Eg: quotation SO/001 confirmed as sale order on 15/08/2020 and WH/OUT/0101 generates while confirming SO and auto reserves serial numbers

Now on 17/08/2020 the SO/002 with WH/OUT/0102 goes for delivery. However as per FIFO method instead of taking serials 7,8,9,10 and 11 it takes serials which is reserved under WH/OUT/0102.

This is not a FIFO method of delivery as SO/001 may go for delivery may be after a month or year or never get delivered.

Thank you Mr. Paresh for your reply.

If we configure the system in FIFO Manual mode, it will not reserve the serials. Therefore wont it give wrong Forecast report as there is no booking at all?

While making WH/OUT if i unreserve and press check availability it will again select different serials as earlier made SO's have already booked serials hence this feature will not work as per FIFO out.

You also have the option of unreserving all of the reserved orders and reserving the ones that are being delivered that day and then reserving the remaining ones so that your forecasted quantity is not impacted. However, you will need to do this off hours so that someone does not end up doing a reservation in the middle of your unreserving/reserving exercise.

The FIFO method is applied at the time of reservation. You have the option of "unreserving" the delivery order or better still, configuring the system for manual reservation and doing the reservation manually at the time of delivery.
