Explanation

Location Directives in D365 Supply Chain Management

What Are Location Directives?

Location directives are warehouse rules that tell the system where to pick from and where to put inventory. They're configured under Warehouse Management > Setup > Location directives and are evaluated in sequence until a matching rule is found.

Why This Specific Arrangement

1. Work Order Type (Position 1)

Role: Top-level filter - the broadest categorization.

Location directives are always tied to a work order type (e.g., Purchase orders, Sales orders, Transfer issue, Counting, etc.). This is the first thing the system checks to determine which directives even apply to a given warehouse task. Without specifying a work order type, the directive has no context - it doesn't know what business process triggered the work.

2. Work Type (Position 2)

Role: Narrows down to Pick or Put.

Within a work order type, the system next evaluates Work Type - whether the operation is a Pick (taking inventory from a location) or Put (placing inventory into a location). Every warehouse work line is either one or the other, so this is a mandatory second filter.

3. Directive Code (Position 3)

Role: Optional precision linker between work templates and location directives.

A directive code creates a direct link between a specific work template line and a location directive. When set on both a work template line and a location directive, the system skips all other directives and uses only the one with the matching code. This is the expert-level control mechanism for precise location assignment.

Why Sequence Number Is Excluded

Sequence number does exist on location directives, but it is not an object you use to implement the directive - it's an ordering attribute that determines evaluation priority among directives. It's automatically managed and doesn't define what the directive does or when it applies.

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Why It's Wrong
Thinking sequence number is a required configuration object	It's an ordering field, not a functional implementation object
Skipping directive code	Without it, you lose the ability to tie specific work template lines to specific directives - critical for complex warehouse flows
Confusing work type with work order type	Work order type = business process (sales, purchase); work type = operation (pick vs. put)

Key mental model: Work order type → Work type → Directive code = progressively narrowing filters from business process → operation → specific rule linkage.
