Item Model Groups Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

With Item model groups in Dynamics AX, a user is given the ability to attach several products to an item model group. This eliminates the need of providing detailed information for the different items that have been created in the product Information module.

This way updates could easily be applied to products as several items could easily be updated using the same setup configured in one place. 

You can setup item model groups in the stock and warehouse management module. This is configured using the Item model groups form. This way, you are able to specify how items relate to registration and picking procedures.

To configure this follow the steps below:

Go to:  Inventory and warehouse management > Setup > Inventory > Item model groups

With Item model groups, an AX Administrator is able to configure settings which determine how items are controlled and handled upon item receipts and issues. These settings also determine how item consumption is calculated.

To create a new item model group, select New

To configure quarantine management select Quarantine management and any product linked to this item model group will be placed under quarantine management rules and requirements.

Select Consolidated picking method for picking multiple orders and use picking areas and shipment functionality.

Make sure you uncheck the stocked product check box if the product will not be stocked. This is useful for service products which are consumed without the need of posting any inventory.
