This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2.
The first of the new functionality in the Application section is availability overview helps you calculate quantities in your warehouse.
Increase warehouse handling efficiency by having accurate and real-time information about inventory levels, locations in your warehouse, processing stage, and other factors that affect available quantities—for example, quarantine or reservations.
Enabled for: Users by admins, makers, or analysts
Public Preview: Sep 2023
General Availability: Oct 2023
Feature Details
From source documents such as sales orders, production orders, assembly orders, or jobs, you can access information about the availability of items in your warehouse. The information is real-time, and respects factors that affect availability, such as dedicated bins, locked bins, and items that aren’t available for picking. For example, items might be reserved, or pending put-away or shipment operations. A picking log lets you review the items that Business Central didn’t include in pick documents and take the necessary actions.
My Opinion
I am still fairly new to Business Central, but accessing information from transactions seems much harder than I would expect, so improving visibility in the warehouse over availability seems like a very good addition. I’ve been doing some work in inventory and warehousing recently, so it will be good to see how this new functionality works.
