Inbound Flow in Warehouse Management in Business Central

 

Understanding Warehouse Flows in Dynamics 365 Business Central

Efficient warehouse management is essential for businesses to ensure that inventory is accurately tracked, properly stored, and available when needed. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) supports various warehouse flows that help streamline these processes, making it easier to manage inventory across different stages of the supply chain. In this blog, we’ll explore the three main types of warehouse flows: inbound, outbound, and internal, and how they function within Business Central.

Inbound Flow: Bringing Items into the Warehouse

The inbound flow is the process of moving items into your warehouse location and making them available for use. This flow is critical for ensuring that purchased goods, materials, or products are accurately received, stored, and recorded in the system.

Key Activities in the Inbound Flow:
  • Purchases: When goods are purchased from suppliers, they are received into the warehouse, checked for quality and quantity, and then stored in designated locations.
  • Inbound Transfers: Items transferred from another location are received into the warehouse, ensuring they are available for fulfillment or production.
How Inbound Flow Works in Business Central:
  • Receiving Goods: Upon receipt, goods are recorded in the system, updating inventory levels.
  • Put-away Process: Items are then moved to their designated storage locations within the warehouse, making them available for picking or internal use.
