[August 2015] Motor vehicle manufacturers balance an intricate network of production facilities, assembly plants and suppliers every day to move products from chassis order to dealership lot. On-time delivery of these units is critical in strengthening relationships with customers and maintaining a solid operational bottom line.
New capabilities specific to the manufacturing industry in Microsoft Dynamics AX® help corporations automate processes across the supply chain by connecting all parts of the enterprise with unified business goals. Working with familiar Microsoft software, real-time data gives all employees sight to information previously stored in disjointed systems or silos.
Inventory reservations in Microsoft Dynamics AX guarantee that processed orders are fulfilled by existing or expected materials using the first in, first out (FIFO) principle — meaning reserved inventory cannot be withdrawn from the warehouse for other orders unless the inventory reservation is cancelled. This internal control ensures organizations avoid insufficient stock issues or failure to meet customer expectations. Connecting all warehouses provides a complete overview of inventory status – waiting to ship, waiting to be picked and more – to make informed decisions and increase sales.
Within the system, users can specify default inventory reservation settings in three forms:
Manual or automatic: Accounts receivable form determines whether items should be reserved automatically or manually.
Date-controlled: Item model form defines how to set up reservation dates and considers receipt of goods date to auto-reserve batches.
Warehouse: Customer form is used to select the most convenient warehouse for delivery.
