How to reserve stock without using Production BOM granule?

hav

Hi All,

Dynamics NAV 5.0 BRL Business Essential edition does not have granules 5410 (Production Order) & 5420 (Production BOM).

In absence of these granules i would like to know whether it is possible to reserve and unreserve stock?

If yes then let me know how to do it..

How exactly you want to reserve the stock??

1. From S.O. to inventory OR from S.O. to P.O??

Go to Sales Order form
Fiunctions=>Reserv

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

The reservation/unreservation of items needs to be done programmatically. So if there is a way out to know how NAV BRL BE does it then i can program it.

We use external software integrated with Navision for Production and we want to maintain the inventory of items utilized in manufacturing process in Navision. The stock issued in a given production batch needs to be reserved when the batch is scheduled for production and accordingly the stock needs to be unreserved when the batch is processed and the production is completed.

We have customers who are interested in having our integration functionality on BRL BE since other editions of NAV containing Production BOM granule shoots up the price.

With Production BOM granule in hand it is possible to reserve the stock by cancelling and refreshing a Production Order whenever a Sales Order is scheduled. In absence of this granule the Production Order will not be available and hence i am in search of a different alternative to achieve the same.

Pls let me know if anyone of you are aware of this or has any idea.

reservation works on "demand&supply" basis. so, if you wnat to reserve inventory on hand, you need at least one demand for that item.. may be you can create one dummy transfer order from inventory to dummy location and reserve inventory to this transfer order.

Hi !

as mentioned by you, Prod. BOM granule is not included in
customer license, Hence system cant reserve the child items
against S.O. automatically.

But in Released Prod Order you can define the components against
Prod Order line item. From there itself you can reserve those
components from inventory. But this would be manual operation.

Note that i have also mentioned absence of Production Order granule in BRL BE edition.

Namaste !

in this case you create a dummy location in NAV as WIP.
transfer the material to be issued for consumption at this
location through reclassification journal. It means that inventory
is reserved for production. when it is consumed pass -ve adjustment
on that location. remaining inventory again transfer to stores.

if this is not suitable, then you must have to do some customization.

Namaste,

In reclassification journal, enter

posting date
doc no
item no
qty
UOM
Location code(e.g store location)
New location code(e.g WIP location) you have to bring this field on form.
define Item tracking if any.
in item tracking you have to define Lot No and New Lot No.
both could be same.

then post it.

system will create a ledger entry with type= Transfer

Hi,
On posting the journal, the item ledger entries table shows quantity field set to item quantities being transferred.

How can the same quantities be reserved so that the Reserved Quantity field of Item Ledger Entry table show me the reserved quantities?

hav

Any idea??
