Pick Part by Choice
Explanation
Use this activity to pick a part by choice, i.e. to report picking of parts
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 doesn't have
to completely correspond to what is reserved on the pick list. I.e. you can
pick from another location, lot batch, serial etc.
By running command Pick by Choice and Pack it is possible
to pick parts and at the same time attach them to a shipment handling unit,
i.e. "pick and pack". The Pick by Choice assistant
then gives you the possibility to attach the picked quantity to a new or an
existing handling unit. There are also options to create SSCC for the handling
unit and to print handling unit labels and packing list. No separate basic data
is needed but if you want a default handling unit type to be fetched for new
handling units then you can set that in Site/Shipment Management
page.
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 setting in the Warehouse Management/General
tab in the Site page must have been set to
Not Reserved, Not Pick Listed, Not on Printed Pick List,
or Allowed.
- The pick list line cannot be Blocked for Pick by Choice.
- 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.
System Effects
- The part 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 inventory part in stock
record through pick by choice. It is also included in the List of Values.
- When the user tries to pick from another inventory part in stock record,
reservation and pick will be done according to the order below. Example:
If the inventory part in stock record the user tries to pick from includes
only reserved customer order lines and pick listed customer order lines
the reserved customer order lines will be unreserved first. Note:
The system will always un-reserve a order line fully, i.e. no partial un-reserve
will be done even though the full quantity is not needed. All reservation
will be done using the automatic reservation, if this fails for any reason
the user will receive an error message.
- Available quantity.
- Reserved quantity, only customer order line, shipment order line
and shop order material line reservations will be used. If several orders
exists the one with latest planned due date (for customer order and
shipment order) or required date (for shop order) will be reserved and
picked. If several orders have the same planned due or required date
the system tries to minimize the number of orders to be unreserved.
- Pick listed quantity, only customer order, shipment order and shop
order pick list lines will be used. If several orders exists the one
with latest planned due date (for customer order and shipment order)
or required date (for shop order) will be reserved and picked. If several
orders have the same planned due or required date the system tries to
minimize the number of orders to be unreserved.
- Printed Pick List quantity, only customer order, shipment order
and shop order pick list lines will be used. If several orders exists
the one with latest planned due date (for customer order and shipment
order) or required date (for shop order) will be reserved and picked.
If several orders have the same planned due or required date the system
tries to minimize the number of orders to be unreserved.
- If you pick from a customer order pick list and you pick less than what
is reserved, the initial reservation will be decreased with the quantity
picked from the pick by choice dialog. Note: If you use pick by choice
from the customer order pick list, you enter a record that corresponds to
the reservation, and you pick less than what is reserved the remaining quantity
will be unreserved.
- If you have used Pick by Choice and Pack then the picked
quantity will be attached to a shipment handling unit.
