We are looking to implement a solution in M3 where we have a Customer Order that will stop at multiple warehouses and then deliver to one destination.
The reason for this is that we have 2 Production Plants, 1 in Colorado & 1 in Missouri, that produce different products. Currently we are distributing these products to balance out inventory but this requires more shipping costs and truck scheduling.
Scenario: Customer Order is received with products that are produced in both  Read more...plants. Customer is located in NY. We would like to schedule a truck to pickup product from our Colorado plant, then continue to our Missouri plant and pickup the remaining products, and then end at our customer location in NY.
Just checking with this group based on a recommendation from Infor to see if any other users are experienced with this type of Order fulfillment and any tips on how to overcome any challenges in M3. We've created the following list of possible limitations.
Summary Invoicing would be required for multi pickup POs.
Multiple ASNs or combined ASNs? Current ASN logic is by delivery.
Routes? ###MPU Routes are set for loading warehouse and only one route per shipment.
CO header has set information for Facility and Warehouse; would CO line create separate Delivery?
Costs for order fulfillment from AOD vs 3PL facilities.
Pick up times? Departure times? How can M3 capture 2 pick up arrival times and 2 pick-up departure times.
Shipment Portal with multiple deliveries would cause issues for closing customer orders with a BOL.
Would need to code in exceptions to current stops of keeping shipping team .

Thanks in advance for any input you all could provide!
