Supported scenarios

Not all workflows support catch weight product processing with warehouse management. The following restrictions apply:

For catch weight products, the storage dimension group for items can't be changed (so that warehouse management processes can be used for them).
Catch weight items can only be created for formula items.
Catch weight products can't be associated with a tracking dimension group where the dimension owner is an active user.
It is not possible to create a catch weight item for a product of the Service type.
Catch weight products must be stocked products by assigning it to an item model group with the Stocked product check box selected.
Catch weight products can't be used together with the functionality for registering serials before consumption.
Catch weight products that are variant-enabled can't be used together with the functionality for converting variant units of measure.
Catch weight products can't be selected as a retail "product kit."
Catch weight products can be used only with a unit sequence group that has catch weight handling units and that has the catch weight unit as the lowest sequence.
For catch weight products, the inventory unit can be converted to the catch weight unit only if the conversion produces a nominal quantity that is more than one.
The setup of bar codes for catch weight products doesn't support a variable weight setup.

The following restrictions apply for order processing workflows:

Intercompany order processing for catch weight products isn't supported unless the proper unit conversion and catch weight units are compatible between the two legal entities in the intercompany trade.
The creation of advance ship notice (ASN/packing structures) doesn't support weight information.
The order quantity must be maintained based on the catch weight unit.

The following restrictions apply for inbound warehouse processing workflows:

Receiving license plates requires that weights are assigned during registration because weight information isn't supported as part of the advance ship notice. When catch weight tag processes are used, the tag number must be manually assigned for each catch weight unit.
Receiving mixed license plates isn't supported for catch weight products.

The following restrictions apply for inventory and warehouse operations workflows:

Manual creation of quarantine orders isn't supported for catch weight products.
Manual movement of inventory that is related to work isn't supported for catch weight products.
Consolidation of license plates isn't supported for catch weight products.
Changes to the warehouse inventory status as part of a periodic task aren't supported for catch weight products.
Changes to an inventory status that are defined by a query aren't supported for catch weight products. (Changes to a quality order inventory status aren't supported either.)
For catch weight products, the inventory status can't be changed from the On-hand by location page.
For catch weight products, the inventory status can't be changed as part of warehouse app movement work.
License plate loading to initialize warehouse stock isn't supported for catch weight products.
Handling of negative physical inventory isn't supported for catch weight products.
Inventory marking can't be used for catch weight products.

The following restrictions apply for outbound warehouse processing workflows:

The functionality for cluster picking isn't supported for catch weight products.
Pick and pack warehouse processing isn't supported for catch weight products.
For catch weight products, work can't be completed from the Work page.
For catch weight products, work that is defined in a work template can be run automatically.
The functionality for reversing work isn't supported for catch weight products.
For catch weight products, manual packing station processing where work is created after containers are closed isn't supported.
The functionality for pcs-by-pcs scanning isn't supported for catch weight products.

The following restrictions apply for production processing workflows:

For catch weight products, only batch orders for formula products are supported.
Kanban functionality isn't supported for catch weight products.
For catch weight products, serial numbers can't be registered before consumption.
The functionality for reversing license plates isn't supported for catch weight products.
For catch weight products, reporting as finished can be registered by serial number.

The following restrictions apply for transportation management processing workflows:

Other restrictions and behaviors for catch weight product processing with warehouse management include:

When catch weight tags are captured as part of warehouse app processing, the user can't cancel out of the workflow.
During picking processes where the user isn't prompted to identify tracking dimensions, the weight assignment is done based on the average weight. This behavior occurs when, for example, a combination of tracking dimensions is used in the same location and, after a user processes picking, only one tracking dimension value is left in the location.
When inventory is reserved for a catch weight product that is configured for warehouse management processes, the reservation is done based on the minimum weight that is defined, even if this quantity is the on-hand last handling quantity. This behavior differs from the behavior for items that aren't configured for warehouse management processes.
Processes that use the weight as part of capacity calculations (wave thresholds, work maximum breaks, container maximums, location load capacities, and so on) don't use the actual weight of the inventory. Instead, the processes are based on the physical handling weight that is defined for the product.
In general, retail functionality isn't supported for catch weight products.
