Sales Order Pick Allocation Override

This program lets you override the stock item that was originally allocated to the pick.

Exploring

This is typically done when the picker can't locate the stock that was allocated to the pick line and wants to replace it with alternative stock that is available, or when stock items with an earlier expiry date are found.

This program can't be run standalone and is accessed from the following program(s):

  • Pick Maintenance

    From the Edit hyperlink at the Override Allocation column within the Pick Detail Lines listview.

This is the process of finding and extracting products from a warehouse bin to fulfill customer sales 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 slip at any time until it is complete.

This is a bin transfer movement type that applies when you complete a pick. The quantity picked is transferred from the sales order bin to the destination bin.

This is the warehouse optionally configured to store variances arising during picking or cycle counting.

The quantity that is short is moved to the lost and found warehouse at the time the pick line or entire pick is completed and set to C - Picked.

Items can be retrieved from the L&F warehouse during cycle counting using the Lost and Found Warehouse Review program.

The lost and found warehouse is only enabled if a warehouse is defined at the Lost and found warehouse setup option and Process to lost and found warehouse is selected at the Accounting for shortages option (Warehouse Maintenance) .
