Business Problem
Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2009 does not provide the ability to log inventory when it hits the dock. During high volume, the warehouse is unable to receive inventory into the warehouse and our both internal and external customers wanted KPI’s to indicate the amount of time it takes to receive inventory into the warehouse from the time the items were delivered at the dock.
Solution
The solution to this problem was to build an application that allowed the warehouse to record receipts in Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2009 that can be used for KPI reporting through a Microsoft Silverlight 4.0 application. The solution uses Windows NT/Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2009 authentication and Windows Communication Foundation to communicate with Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2009 Business Connector. Once a dock receipt is created, labels are printed to a Zebra printer that the users at the dock can affix to the pallets. Once the receiving group is able to process the pallets, they scan the labels using a barcode scanner to process the inventory.
