One of our large sites is now having real issues with the limitation of 1 picking sequence per inventory location. Overflow inventory locations is quite common in distribution solutions and they need this functionality by warehouse location.

They have attempted to use overflow locations for the overflow issue but with 4 inventory locations that is about to expand to 6 and more, there simply is not enough space or functionality to use the optional fields set up on the item master.

The previous thread over 2 years ago made mention that the limiting factor was that changing the IC database would have affected PO compatibility.

Now that the upgrade has been done for Purchase Orders, could the migration to the optional fields by location occur, if that was being contemplated? Or is the picking sequence overflow by location being addressed?

While that is being considered, could the situation also look at primary and secondary vendor by location as well for situations where the warehouse locations are being filled by vendors with geographic locations located nearby the city where the warehouse location is located?

Thanks,
