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.
- When doing pick by choice for customer order reservations, the Part Availability Controls at Pick By
Choice toggle in the Site/ Sales and Procurement/Sales/General tab decides if part availability control
is considered. If enabled the part availability control setting of the material is considered, otherwise
ignored.
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.
