AI Summary
- The article discusses the functionality of package tracking in Microsoft Business Central, which allows for better grouping and management of inventory through the use of unique identifiers called package numbers.
- Package tracking is a tracking functionality similar to Lot and Serial Numbers, and it allows users to register additional tracking details like a package number on inventory and warehouse movements.
- The main benefit of using package tracking is the ability to consolidate goods into packages with unique identifiers and use these identifiers across the entire supply chain.
- Configuring package tracking in Business Central involves enabling the feature, setting up number series for package tracking, creating a package caption (e.g., Pallet), and creating item tracking codes with package tracking enabled.
- Package tracking is not automatically enabled on all items in Business Central, and users must assign specific item tracking codes with package tracking enabled to the items they want to track using license plating.
- The process of using package tracking in Business Central involves creating and assigning pallet numbers on receipt of goods, using package numbers when moving and picking items, and selecting the correct pallet when picking and shipping items linked to outbound source documents.
- Business Central provides a Package No. Information List page that allows users to view an overview of package numbers, including items and quantities, and drill down to see the inventory movements associated with a specific package number.
- Overall, package tracking in Business Central is a powerful feature that can improve inventory management and warehouse operations by optimizing space and improving traceability.
