WIP 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):

  • WIP Pick Maintenance

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

This is a bin transfer movement type that applies when you complete a pick. The quantity picked is transferred from the original location, which could be in the storage or picking areas of the warehouse, to the destination bin.

For Work in Progress Picking and Issuing, the destination bin can be defined against the operation within the Structures and Routings program, or when generating the pick note within the WIP Picking Options program.

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 the process of finding and extracting products from a warehouse bin that are used in the production process.

This is common in manufacturing or assembly environments where products move through various stages of completion. Work in Progress Picking and Issuing ensures that the necessary components or materials are available at each stage of production to prevent delays and keep the workflow smooth.
