Solving

You can't add sales order lines to a pick that is in a status of Complete (i.e. picks can't be maintained once they've been completed).

This error is displayed if you attempt to add a sales order line to an already completed pick using either of the following programs:

  • Pick Review
  • Sales Order Entry

Select OK and add the sales order lines to a pick that has an Outstanding or Started status.

Your system is not configured to use the Fixed bins facility.

You need to enable the Fixed bins setup option (Setup Options > Configuration > Distribution > Inventory).

Using

  • At the time of releasing sales order lines for picking, you can use the Pick Review program to include the sales order lines in a pick.
