Plan and Receive Inbound Containers with multiple Purchase Orders

Manage Containers in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Use the Purchase Container Handling app to plan receipt of Containers with Lines from multiple Purchase Orders – and manage delays in delivery easily.

Inbound Container Management in Dynamics 365 Business Central

You have created multiple Purchase Orders for your supplier during months, and now your supplier is ready to ship the container – and sends you a list of the items included in the container.

The list of contents is a mix of purchase order, and probably also partial deliveries of some purchase orders. This app will help you assign a container id to all the relevant Purchase Order Lines, and then you can manage all the items as one.

If the container is delayed, you can update the delivery date on the container, and it will apply to all the Purchase Order Lines.

Purchase Containers in Dynamics 365 Business Central

If you look up a specific item, you can see which container it will be delivered with, and when it is expected to arrive.

Usually your supplier will pack the container, but you can also keep track of available volume, quantities, net weight and gross weight of each container, while you add more Purchase Orders to it. The planner can easily check if the Container is full.
