AX 2012 R3 Warehouse Work Template Configuration and Purpose A key step in the configuration of the new AX 2012 R3 Warehouse Management module is creating a Work template. Work templates are used to determine the “work” created in the system when processing Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Replenishment, etc. This ‘work’ is created for use in either the AX Client or the WHS Mobile Device. A warehouse user can pull up outstanding ‘work’ for direction on what needs to be done in the warehouse. This is out-of-the-box Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 functionality.
