Output Journals
You can use the consumption journal and the output journal to post the consumption and actual report of production or manufacturing. Consumption quantities are posted as negative item entries, while completed quantities are posted as positive items.
The journals are part of the Business Central standard, which is why this documentation will not go into this topic again. If you would like to find out how to use the journals, you can read about it at Microsoft Learn.
The following fields were added to the table with the SIEVERS WMS:
- Inventory selection (Only Consumption Journal)
- Stock quantity reserved for Inbound Stock Post
- Stock quantity packed Inbound Stock Post
- Stock quantity reserved Outbound Stock Post
- Stock quantity packed Outbound Stock Post
- Stock quantity reserved transfer
- Stock quantity packed transfer
- Stock quantity reserved stocktaking
- Stock quantity packed stocktaking
- Customer group Code
- Area Code
You can also display the following SIEVERS WMS fields:
- New inventory measure code
- New load carrier
Hinweis
When a partial output is posted using Post Output, the movement quantities of all related Item Tracking Lines are automatically reset after posting to the maximum possible value. This value is calculated as the quantity in the base unit of measure minus the quantity already handled in the base unit of measure.
Hinweis
The Load Carrier weights are calculated based on the Determine Gross Weight field in the WMS Setup.
Hinweis
If you want to create a Outbound Stock Post using a consumption journal, you must ensure that the fields Location code and Inventory Selection Strategy Code Components are filled in the corresponding Component lines.
If a Outbound Stock Post already exists for a consumption journal, the fields Location code and Inventory Selection Strategy Components in the consumption journal can no longer be changed.
Hinweis
If you want to create a Inbound Stock Post using an output journal, you must ensure that the fields Location code, Storage Place Finished Part, Inbound Stock Post Strategy Finished Part are filled in the lines of the released production order.
When the output journal line is created, Storage Place Finished Part and Inbound Stock Post Strategy Finished Part are automatically transferred from the production order line. Once a related journal line exists, these fields can no longer be edited in the production order line.
When the Inbound Stock Post is created based on the journal line, the fields are automatically transferred again. They can then no longer be edited in the journal line.
Hinweis
Automatic order assignment is also performed for partial postings. An existing stock document is extended by the new quantity. For sales orders linked to a production order that already have manual Outbound Stock Post lines for the warehouse shipment line, the system checks whether the remaining quantity of the source line after the existing allocations is sufficient for automatic assignment. If the remaining quantity is insufficient, output journal posting is still aborted and an error message with the details of the affected source line is displayed. This prevents inconsistent inventory data and blocked inventory. The output journal can only be posted once the manual Outbound Stock Post lines have been removed or adjusted.
