Well – there is nothing too complex about this customization. You need just modify methods inventUpd_Picked.updatePickMore(Slightly) for picking and InventUpd_Reserved.updateReserveMore(Well – more than slightly:)) for reservation. The idea is – You should add inventBatch table into loops other inventTrans and add order by inventBatch.expDate. It is very yeasy for picking, but for reservation You need to rewrite all inventDim selection logic. (Which normally allows You to automatically fill-in unspecified inventory dimensions during reservation).
The only drawback of this customization that I could imagin, is slightly increased chances for deadlocks during simoultaneous updates to the same inventory lot. Say, If one user is adding reserve to given sales line, while other user is posting sales invoice for the same line, they will use different order of updates for the same inventory lot. (Same set of inventTrans records). This will definately lead to deadlock. From other side, normally Axapta simply restarts and redos transaction in case of deadlock, so most probably user won’t notice anything, just invoice posting will make more time than usual sometimes. Also, It is not very typicall case, when two users are working on the same inventory lot at the same time. So – I would dare to implement this.

We have another requirement for our client regarding reservations and picking strategy based on Expiry Dates. Do you have any idea of an add-on which would work on these lines? What do you think about customizing the whole thing in AX?
