Pallet/Tray/Box Control Maintains levels of valuable/returnable packaging owed by customers to be returned to the business, and owed to suppliers to be returned by the business. Processing is largely automatic as a consequence of despatching sales orders and receipting purchase orders. Two styles of packaging have to be supported: Integral packaging Transport packaging

Pallet/Tray/Box Control Integral Packaging Integral packaging is part of the product specification e.g. apples on trays. Item number Product name Image APP01 Apples TRAY01 Green Tray APPTRAY39 Tray of 39 Apples

Pallet/Tray/Box Control Integral Packaging Loose apples Trays BOM/ Works order Apples on trays Apples on trays Bags Formula/ Batch order Apples in bags Trays

Pallet/Tray/Box Control Transport Packaging Transport packaging is not part of the product specification, and the product is unchanged by its association with any Transport packaging. Transport packaging is therefore moved (and stocked) independently of the product.

Quality data capture on Mobile devices AX2012 delivers Quality Control functionality with user-defined tests Test results can only be recorded through an option in the standard AX client The client application is far too clunky to use for anything other than the simplest of results input; and creating a new Quality order is far too complex K3 typically proposes the AX Anywhere solution to enable AX2012 on mobile devices AX Anywhere includes all of the regular warehousing functions as standard... but does not include Quality Control functionality. K3 has developed a Quantity Control module within the AX Anywhere framework.

Real-time Production Data Input

Real-time Production Data Input The K3 solution envisages: users unfamiliar with the Microsoft Windows/Office UI so no ‘action pane’, toolbars, tabs or pop-up forms users unfamiliar with Dynamics AX2012 terminology so no references to registration, jobs, journals etc… no keyboard present – touch-screen only all controls suitable for simple touch-screen use, with alternatives to standard windows controls
