Warehouse Management using Microsoft Dynamics AX: 2016 Edition

This book focuses on how Microsoft Dynamics AX provides an integrated ERP system to support warehouse management in manufacturing/distribution firms. It covers both the basic and advanced approaches to warehouse management, and the related contexts of supply chain management, transportation management and quality. The book contents apply to AX 2012 R3 as well as the new Dynamics AX, since they share the same embedded conceptual models and business processes. The book contents have also been segmented to support the learning objectives of several types of readers, ranging from the initial learning of new users to the incremental learning of AX veterans. Numerous case studies illustrate system usage in different types of warehouse management scenarios. With its in-depth explanation of warehouse management, the book acts as a companion for “Supply Chain Management using Microsoft Dynamics AX: 2016 Edition” and “Process Manufacturing using Microsoft Dynamics AX: 2016 Edition”. These two books respectively cover supply chain management in discrete and process manufacturing/distribution.
