Whats new?

In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, work order types represent warehouse work activities for various types of source documents. Work order types are the basis for work classes, work templates, and location directives, which are the building blocks for configuring warehouse work. In AX 2012 R3 there were the following work order types for production output



The work order type determines how the query for a location directive is set up. In AX 2012 R3, if you selected the Batch order put away work order type, the query combined both the production orders and the production co-products and by-products.





This design had some built in issues, for example, when reporting a formula item or a co-product or by-product as finished in production, the location directive could not find an applicable put-away location. Instead, the user was prompted to manually enter a location as shown in the illustration below



To resolve this in AX 2012 CU8, we changed the work order types for production output. The following types are now available





Let’s walk through the setups we’ll need to handle a scenario for setting up work classes, work templates, and locations directives with the new work order types.

Scenario: The company uses formulas with co-product and by-product outputs. The by-products are always stored on a location called SCRAP.

The first thing we need to do is create work classes for finished goods put away, and co-products and by-products put away. Open the Work classes form by clicking Warehouse management > Setup > Work > Work lasses. For the work class for finished goods put-away, select the work order type Finished goods put away.



For the work class for co-products and by-products put-away, select the work order type Co-products and by-products put away.



What we need to do next is set up the work templates that we’ll use to create the pick and put work for finished goods and co-products and by-products. Open the Work templates form by clicking Warehouse management > Setup > Work > Work templates. For a work template for finished goods put away, in the Work order type field, select Finished goods put away. When you set up the pick and put lines in the lower part of
the form, select the work class for finish goods put away for each line.



For a work template for co-product and by-product put away, in the Work order type field, select Co-product and by-product put away. When you set up the pick and put lines in the lower part of the form, select the work class for co-product and by-product put away for each line.



The last step is to set up the location directives we’ll use to put away finished goods and co-products and by-products. Open the Location directives form by clicking Warehouse management > Setup > Location directives. For a location directive for finished goods put away, in the Work order type field, select Finished goods put away.



For a location directive for co-products and by-products put away, in the Work order type field, select Co-product and by-product put away. Then we’ll create two put lines.



Remember that the company wants to put by-product in a location called SCRAP. To make this happen, we’ll create one location directive for co-products, and one for by-products. We can differentiate the two through the setup of the query for each location directive. For the location directive for by-product put away, we’ll set up the query on the Location directives FastTab to use the Production co-by products table, and select By product as criteria for the query, as shown in the illustration below. We’ll use the same settings in the location directive for co-products put away, but we’ll select Co product as criteria.



We now need to set up the location directive for by-products so that it directs work to the SCRAP location. We’ll do this by adding a location profile ID that is specific for the SCRAP location to the query.



For the location directive for by-products, on the Location Directive Actions FastTab, we’ll set up the query to use the Location profile ID for SCRAP as criteria, as shown in the illustration below.



We need to do the same thing for the location directive for co-products but we’ll use a different location profile ID, as shown in the illustration below.





Summary

The work order types that are used for production output have changed in AX 2012 R3 CU8. If you are upgrading from the R3 version to CU8, you will need to re-configure your work classes, work templates, and location directives as outlined in the example in this blog
