Mobile container management in the warehouse management solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision)
Transparent and efficient container management can simplify many logistics processes and help your company save valuable resources. This is because goods transport can only take place as planned if the required containers, such as small load carriers or large load carriers, are available at the right time, in the right quantity, in the right condition, and at the right location. The “Container Management” function in the mobile data collection solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/MS Dynamics NAV (Navision) supports the control of the entire container cycle in real time. Navision container tracking can be controlled both on the mobile interface of the warehouse management system (WMS) and within MS Dynamics NAV or Business Central.
Mobile container management in logistics supports stock management of items at container level
In logistics, a container is a load carrier that can hold one or more items. The “Container Management” function in the mobile data collection solution for MS Dynamics NAV/Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central now makes it possible to implement the stock management of items at container level. In combination with the “Load Carrier Relocation” extension module in the WMS for NAV (Navision) and Dynamics 365 Business Central, complete load carriers and their contents can be transferred within container management. In this case, the mobile data collection interface to MS Dynamics treats the container as a data bracket. This means that the items in a container do not have to be entered individually, just the container ID. Mobile container management for Navision and Business Central reduces entry work for your employees and saves valuable time.
In order to enable mobile item entry at container level, the mobile data collection solution for MS Dynamics NAV/Business Central makes changes to existing standard Navision objects and new Navision objects. You can find these changes in the L-mobile system requirements. This function is available for Business Central as an extension.
Container management for MS Dynamics creates an additional tier within the warehouse structure
Mobile container management in logistics introduces an additional tier within the warehouse structure. This allows containers that are assigned a unique container ID to receive or deliver items with or without item tracking attributes. The containers are posted to a storage bin within a storage location. The mobile “Container Management” function in the warehouse management system for MS Dynamics NAV and Business Central takes into account all master data and stock information.
The container flows are posted promptly across the entire logistics process in Microsoft Dynamics NAV or MS Dynamics 365 Business Central. By tracking the load carriers in real time using the unique container ID, the “Container Management” function for MS Dynamics can provide information at any time about the number of containers available, their location, and their contents.
