Connect an external warehouses with Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM
Although Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM offers comprehensive warehouse management functions, in certain cases it may be necessary to integrate an external warehouse with Dynamics 365.
Reasons for this may include the use of outsourced or specialized warehouse services and technologies that may not be available in Dynamics 365.
FlexxLink enables seamless, bi-directional integration between Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM and external warehouse systems and offers comprehensive options for automating processes on this basis.
Post goods receipt in Dynamics 365
FlexxLink receives incoming goods directly from the warehouse, validates and checks them for order reference.
New batches can be created, including expiration date and internal and external batch number, before the goods receipt is posted.
Release batches
The change of batch disposition codes is transmitted to the warehouse by FlexxLink on the basis of various processes within Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM:
- The batch disposition code has been reset
- The batch disposition code has changed as a result of a quality order
Both triggers cause the new status to be transmitted directly to the warehouse - the inventory data is thus kept synchronized in real time by FlexxLink.
Transfer picking lists to warehouse
When picking lists are generated, they are transmitted to the external warehouse for picking using FlexxLink.
Both the transmission of picking lists with and without batch reference are supported.
Post goods issues in Dynamics 365
FlexxLink receives and processes the information on the actual goods issue from the warehouse.
If the goods issue corresponds exactly to the picking list, only the registration is carried out.
If the goods issue differs (e.g. due to batch numbers), the picking list is adapted accordingly to reflect the goods issue.
By integrating the warehouse into Dynamics 365 with FlexxLink, the entire process is automated and manual effort and sources of error are minimized.
