Advanced Warehouse Management – Handling Fractional Quantities in Work Orders

Hi everyone,

I am working with Advanced Warehouse Management (WHS) in D365 F&O and I’ve come across a scenario that I need guidance on.

Scenario 1 – Pipes:

We purchase pipes in EA (each pipe = 10 meters).
In BOM, production only consumes 2 meters per operation.
I expect that after picking, the remaining stock should be 0.8 EA (8 meters).
However, when I release the work order, the system picks 1 EA (full pipe) instead of 0.2 EA.

Scenario 2 – Adhesive/Fevicol Drum:

We purchase 1 drum = 10 KG.
Inventory is maintained in KG.
BOM consumes 100 g per operation.
In this case, no WHS work is generated for the pick.

Observations/Questions: I understand that WHS works with full inventory units, but I want to confirm if there’s any standard way to:

Handle partial consumption in WHS work orders, while keeping inventory in EA for items like pipes.
Enable WHS work generation when consumption is in decimals (like KG or meters).

Hi

For your scenario 2 there can me many reasons why system is not generating picking work for the adhesive item.

Please share the error message for the item. Also are you checking work creation history log? Check the log and share screenshot here to suggest further.

Hi

For your scenario 1 check the below setup on the item master data. I suspect it could be 'Staging'

If yes change value to 'Order picking" and try again

Hi Neeraj,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes as per your first understanding system is creating workorder for 2 m but when I try to perform the workorder, system is trying to transfer whole 1 EA which is wrong.

Unit sequence group where unit "m" I mapped in BOM unit instated for mark button "Default unit for material consumption".

Our goal is that whatever item we are purchase in any unit, there items will also maintain same in inventory unit and BOM unit will be different as consumption required. Most probably small unit will be BOM but not want maintain this in Inventory unit.

Hi Shubham,

Please share the screenshot of your setup of Unit sequence group and also the Decimal Precision for Unit EA. As per my understanding in first scenario, work should be generated for 2 meters instead of 0.2 EA.. is it correct?

Regards,

Neeraj Kumar
