WMS Pick Slip

You use this program to generate a report of stock items for sales orders that have not yet been shipped. These include orders in process (status 0) orders ready for printing (status 1), orders released for printing (status 3) and orders in the warehouse (status 4).

This information is used as the source document for extracting items from stock, and to assist the process of updating the sales order in preparation for printing the delivery note.

Picking slips are best suited to an environment where stock is allocated on the same day that it is shipped.

You would generate this report to assist you in picking items from stock. A reprint option is available to include previously printed order lines.

Field Description

Sequencing

Indicate the sequence in which to print the picking slips. At least one sequence must be selected.

Up to six sequences can be selected, including the following:

Warehouse, Order number, Bin location
Warehouse, Order number, Stock code
Warehouse, Bin location
Warehouse, Stock code
Order number, Warehouse, Bin location
Alternate key stock, Order number, Warehouse, Bin location
If you have not defined an alternate key entry for the stock item (Stock Codes) then the stock code is printed at the Alternate key field on the picking slip.
Alternate key order, Stock code, Warehouse, Bin location
The alternate key field printed on the picking slip for this sequence is derived from the wording assigned to the Description for alternate key option (Sales Orders Setup). The information printed against this field depends on whether you configured a Default alternate key at company level, or whether you entered an alternate key against the order header.
If you configured a Default alternate key within the Sales Orders Setup options (i.e. you selected Geographic area, Warehouse, or Branch) then the relevant value is printed against the Alternate key field on the picking slip. If you did not configure a default alternate key (i.e. you selected None) then the order number is inserted at this field.
Alternatively, if you entered alternate key information against the order header, then this is printed at the Alternate key field on the picking slip.


	If you are printing picking slips for Non-stocked items Only, then you cannot sequence the report in Warehouse, Warehouse area, Bin location or Bin sequence.

Page Break

Select this against a sequence number to start a new page each time the sequence value changes for that sequence number.

For example if you select Sequence one - Warehouse and you select Page Break for Sequence one, then the picking slips for each individual warehouse are printed on a separate page.

Summarize

Select this to print the total mass, total volume and number of picking slip lines for the selected sequence.

A report total for mass, volume and number of picking slip lines is printed at the end of the report.

When you select this option for a sequence, the Page Break option is automatically selected.

Quantity totals Enable this to print the total quantity to ship (i.e. the picking quantity) for each sequence.

Bin group length

This applies if one of the sequences selected is the Bin location and you selected the Page break option for this sequence.

Indicate the number of characters that must be used to determine when a bin must be printed on a new page.

For example:

Against the selected orders you have the following bin locations: FG001, FG002, FG010.

If you enter 3 as the bin group length, then the system matches the first three characters of each bin and prints a new page only when it finds a bin where there is no match. In this example, all three bins would be printed on the same page as FG001, FG002, FG010 all have FG0 as the first three characters.

If you enter 4 as the number of characters in a bin group length, then the system matches the first four characters of each bin and prints a new page only when it encounters a bin where there is no match. In this example, bins FG001 and FG002 would print on the same page, and bin FG010 would print on a new page.

Whole order processing

This applies to customers for whom the entire order must be shipped simultaneously (i.e. the Invoice whole order only option is selected for the customer (Customers - Minimum order rules).

Include	Select this to include customers for whom the entire order must be shipped simultaneously. The back order value for each order line is checked. If any line has a positive back order quantity, the order is excluded. Therefore, picking slips are only printed for orders which have no back order quantity on any line.
Exclude	Select this to exclude customers for whom the entire order must be shipped simultaneously. No picking slips are printed for orders for these customers, even if there are no back order quantities in the order lines.

Output Options

These options enable you to apply a theme to the report and to define multiple output destinations for the report once it has been compiled (SRS Output Options).

Report Details

The Ship quantity is printed in the stocking unit of measure, regardless of the unit of measure used on the sales order.

If you selected the option: Include Non-Stocked - Include, then the Sequencing you indicated is ignored for these items and the items are printed at the top of the report. The sequencing is then applied to the rest of the items on the report.
The order line's ship date is printed on the report if it differs from the order header ship date.
Only comment lines attached to an order line are printed on the picking slip.

If a picking slip is printed for a portion of an order line, then subsequent picking slips for the same order line include the additional quantities to be picked and shipped (i.e. previously printed quantities are included).

For example: You have a sales order with one order line as follows:

Order quantity	10
Ship quantity	3
Back order quantity	7

The quantity on the first picking slip printed is 3.

You now release the back order quantity of 7.
When you now print the picking slip, the quantity on the picking slip is 10 and not 7.

Picking slips therefore work best when you are shipping the entire order quantity.

You could split the order into two lines - one line with order quantity and ship quantity of 3 and one line with order quantity and back order quantity of 7.

When you print the picking slip for the first line of 3, the picking slip quantity will be 3.

When you then release the back ordered line with a quantity of 7 and print the picking slip, the quantity on the picking slip will be 7. Note that in this case, the first line is not reprinted on the picking slip.
