WMS - Order Picking

A destination bin is configured as a dispatch bin, typically located in the dispatch area, and is required when you create a pick.

Once a pick is completed, a bin transfer is created (from the bin where the sales order originated to the destination bin entered).

This is the warehouse optionally configured to store the variances that occur during picking.

A short pick's outstanding quantity is moved to the lost and found warehouse.

The lost and found warehouse is only enabled if the Accounting for shortages option (Warehouse Maintenance) is set to process shortages to a lost and found warehouse.

This warehouse must contain a lost and found bin.

This is the process of finding and extracting products from a warehouse bin to fulfill customer orders.

This is a report that details the items required for picking and where to locate them.

A picking slip can only be printed once a pick has been created. Thereafter, you can print the pick at any time until it is complete.

This is a warehouse picking sequence where the picker walks down one isle and up the next, picking items along the way. The postman walk picking sequence is depicted in the image below:

A sales order may be set aside to create a pick at a later stage. These sales orders have not yet allocated stock.

You use the Pick Review program to select these sales orders (at a later stage) to create a pick.

Sales orders are used to record the sale or transfer of goods and services to both internal and external customers.

It forms a temporary legal contract between your company and the customer, as well a providing an audit trail of goods sold or transferred.

This denotes a scenario where the original quantity for a sales order cannot be satisfied with the actual quantity found in the bin, resulting in an outstanding quantity for the sales order line.

If you decide to complete this pick while there is outstanding quantity, the outstanding quantity is placed on back order.

Within SYSPRO, a warehouse can represent an actual warehouse containing your inventory items (i.e. a physical warehouse) or it can represent a grouping of your inventory according to specific characteristics of the item (i.e. a logical warehouse).

You can define a default warehouse to use for transactions at company level as well as at operator level (this overrides the company default).

This is a warehouse picking sequence where the picker walks in a zig-zag pattern, picking from a bin in one isle and then moving diagonally across to the next bin in the opposite isle, and so on. The Z-pick sequence is depicted in the image below.
