Business value

Waved lines can occasionally fail due to a lack of on-hand inventory at the picking location, a problem with the item attributes, or other reasons. Although this is normal behavior, the challenge is that, until now, each exception must be handled manually by adding the failed lines to a new wave and then processing them. Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management now automates this process so that the failed lines are assigned to the same wave templates and then rewaved without human involvement. This feature adds flexibility and saves time, improving outbound warehouse operations efficiency.

Feature details

A shipment line may fail to complete the waving process for any of the following reasons:

  • Production is delayed and didn't report inventory as finished, so the wave can't allocate inventory.
  • Goods are in quarantine and not available.
  • Goods are still at the inbound bay and aren't yet available at the picking locations.

Users can configure the automatic rewaving process, which will reprocess shipment lines that didn't complete during previous wave processing, thereby removing any manual human involvement.
