Picking List Reservation for Production Orders

Posted on by Fernando Villamán U.

Hello Experts! I am working on adjusting the picking reservation for production orders.

Our client does not use advanced warehouse management and the reservation for production orders is set to Start.

Since the reservation happens when the Production Order is started, all the quantities in the BOM are reserved when starting the order. What our client wants to achieve is to automatically reserve only what is included in the picking list.

If I set the reservation for the production Order to manual, is there a way to automatically create the reservation upon adding items to the picking list journal?

Thanks!

Picking List Reservation for Production Orders

Hi,
If the reservation setting on the production order is Manual, D365 will not auto-reserve inventory when you add lines to a picking list journal. If you try to post it without prior reservation, the system will throw an error like:

"Quantity cannot be picked because there is no inventory transaction with status 'On order' or 'Reserved physical'."

You’ll need to manually reserve the BOM lines first before posting the picking list.

Also to understand from a business perspective, what's the reason for requiring reservation to happen only at the picking list stage instead of at production start? Understanding that might help suggest a cleaner or more controlled approach.

Warm Regards,

Zain
