I have set up a production route with an external operation with the intention of having the purchase receipt of the service item post the production journals (route, pick list and report as finished). I am succeeding with every step of this with the exception of the report as finished journal.

For reference, we have followed the steps outlined in the attached article. We are on AX 2012 R3 CU13

Does anyone have this working in their environment or know what settings I might be missing that would leave out this last step?

Hi Greg,
The attached instructions are really good but after scanning them quickly and mainly looking at the highlights I did not remember seeing anything on matching up the Oper no. between the Route and BOM / Formula Service Item Oper no.

Which is, of course, a manual entry of the operation number from the Route onto the BOM line where you expect the two to match up. No dropdown. Keep that in mind when matching them up!

The Oper No. field on the BOM line is in fact a drop down if you have an active and approved route that matches the same site, qty and dates as your BOM version.  See item L0101 in USMF demo data.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for taking a look.

The route has only one operation (external) and the BOM has one stocked item and one service item. Both BOM line items are assigned to the external operation with a flushing principle of finish. At purchase receipt the route journal posts the operation and the picklist journal posts both items in the production order journals. The only missing piece is that there is no report as finished journal being created or posted and the associated production order shows no quantity being reported as finished so no finished items going into inventory.

That can be done quickly by going to the production order and reporting as finished with only end job checked but it was my understanding the purchase receipt would do this.

Hi Greg,
Try adding a second operation to the route with very little run time.
And add Opt 10 to the  BOM / Formula  service item Oper No field
Oper No 10 I’m assuming is the first route step in your current Route.

It sounds like you don’t have the Production Control Parameter -> Journals -> Automatic Report as finished ticked.   Also please confirm you’re not using a WHS / advanced warehousing warehouse, it doesn’t work well with this process.    Worst case you can schedule a batch job at Production Control -> Periodic -> Production Orders -> Report as finished to roll through looking for orders with Remain Status = Report as Finished and post the RAF.

Thanks Colby,

That seems to be the case. I checked the Automatic Report as Finished and a post to RAF journal was attempted. It errored out because it wants a license plate location but now I think I’m on the right track.
