Pick Handling Unit by Choice
Explanation
Use this activity to pick a handling unit by choice, i.e. to report picking
of handling units in a more flexible way. What you pick must correspond to the
customer order line, shipment order line or the shop order material line, but
it does not have to completely correspond to what is reserved on the pick list.
I.e. you can pick another handling unit on another location which contains another
lot batch, serial etc.
This activity can be performed through Report Picking of Pick
List Lines, Report Picking of Shop Order Pick List
and Warehouse Data Collection pages.
Prerequisites
- The Pick by Choice list in the Site/Extended Site Info/Inventory/General
page must have been set to Not Reserved, Not Pick Listed,
Not on Printed Pick List, or Allowed.
- Pick by choice can only be used for customer order, shipment order and
shop order pick lists. From customer order, shipment order and shop order
pick lists you can pick from customer order line reservations, customer
order pick list lines, shipment order line reservations, shop order material
line reservations, shop order pick list lines and DOP reservations depending
on the site setting.
- Pick by choice is only supported for homogenous handling units or handling
unit structures.
- Pick by choice is not allowed on a handling unit if part of the content,
two out of five serial numbers for example, has been picked already.
- For customer order pick list, over- and under-picking is supported as
long as the handling unit or handling unit structure represents only one
order line.
- Pick by choice is not allowed if the reservation record is blocked for
pick by choice. A handling unit is considered blocked if any parts in the
HU are blocked.
System Effects
- The handling unit will, if possible, be picked according to the site
and source rules (only customer order, shipment order and shop order).
- It is possible to pick the originally reserved handling unit through
pick by choice. It is also included in the List of Values.
- When you do under-picking on a customer order pick list, the remaining
quantity will be unreserved. Example: You have a pick list with a
pallet that contains two boxes with only one part and a total quantity to
be picked is 15 pcs. Instead of picking the pallet you pick another box
which contains 5 pcs using the pick by choice functionality, the remaining
quantity of 10 pcs will then be unreserved.
