Full LP in second Picking WMS

(4) ShareShare

Posted on by 31
 

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to solve a specific case related to the picking of Sales Orders. Currently, we need two locations: one staging and one final. I've addressed this by adding two new steps in the Pick and Put work template.

The issue arises in the second process, where I need to split the goods into different license plates. I've seen that in the first picking this is possible using the 'full' option, which comes from the 'allow splitting of work' parameter.

Would it be possible for this to happen in the second picking as well? If you think I'm not approaching this correctly, I would also appreciate any guidance on that.

Another option I considered was generating two WORK IDs for each flow, but I haven't been able to achieve that.

Thank you all very much!

    Hi, 
     
    You have to break the "work" under the work template. Try using breaking the work after the first pick. 
    Let me know if it resolves the issue.
     
    Thanks,

    Hi Ukasan,
    By second pick, I imaging you mean the second pick line in the work template, the one that is picked from the <Staging> location?  If that is the case, then it is not possible without development.
     
    Here is the sequence of events for Sales Pick, to make sure it is well understood:
    1. Load or Sales Order released to warehouse
    2. Wave processing created Sales work
    3. Work template is used to create the work lines
    4. Work is created for all released quantity
    5. Picking start by launching the work ID
    6. Target LP is assigned to the work with first quantity picked
    7. Picker split the work quantity by selecting "Full" option
      • New Work ID is created using same template for quantity picked on Target LP
      • Existing work quantity reduced by quantity already picked with remaining work quantity
    8. Picker put the Target LP in teh Staging loaction (as directed by Work)
    9. At this time, the new Work ID and TargetLP are one an the same, which is why if you want to continue the work you either scan the TargetLP or the Work ID.   So the TargetLP is indivisible.
     
    Breaking the "Pick/Put to Staging" and "Pick/Put to Shipping" into 2 work IDs is not possible; the wave "pulls" from inventory to shipping location. 
    May be you can provide some context and explain what it is you are trying to achieve. I am sure there are other ways of addressing the specific use case (packaging, replenishment, cross-docking,...??)

    Hello, thank you very much for your help.
     
    The situation is as follows: currently, sales orders are prepared in two steps. First, the entire quantity of the order is picked from the warehouse and placed in a 'staging' location.
     
    The problem is that each customer requests the items to be grouped in boxes with different numbers of units. For example, in SO1 we have 5 units of item A. We pick those 5 units and leave them at the staging location. Once the customer tells us they need 2 packages—one with 3 units and another with 2—we split those 5 units accordingly.
     
    Normally, we don’t know how many packages we need to prepare until the customer comes to pick them up. That’s why we were thinking of using license plate splitting at the put-away stage, since we don’t know the final division until the end.
     
    I’m not sure if that makes sense… but that’s the current situation.
     
    I'm looking for another option for Packing from WMS, but after completing the SO picking, the shipment remains in the 'LOADED' status. Is there any way to prevent it from changing status?
     
     
    Thank you so much.

    Hi Ukasan,
    Your requirements look very much a "fit" for a Packing Station. k
     
    When Sales Order is released, the wave creates "Pull" work from the storage location to a <Pacing> location. At packing station, you scan the work or Shipment and pack the items located at the packaging location in Containers (boxes) that each have their own ID.  When you close the boxes, there can either be "push" work to move from Packing station to the shipping location, or automatically moved to the shipping location. 
     
    What affects the status is the Location Type. defined in Warehouse Parameters. In you case, the work is pulling to a Final shipping location, you will have to define a new Work Template that is applied to these Sales Orders only to pull to a Packing location. The setups are not difficult and there are many resources online explaining how to configure packing stations or packaging operations (suggest:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zlGenzX-sk&t=6s, or any search with D365 F&O Packing station). 
     
    Good luck!

    Hi Ukasan
     
    Second vote here for using the Packing functionality. Using your words, if you adopt packing functionality, the process becomes:
     
    First, the entire quantity of the order is picked from the warehouse and placed in a packing location.
    
    In SO1 we have 5 units of item A. We pick those 5 units and leave them at the packing location. Once the customer tells us they need 2 packages—one with 3 units and another with 2—we split those 5 units accordingly. We pack 3 units into one Container and 2 units into another Container. The Containers are closed, and the customer is free to take their items.
     
     
    The Shipment won't hit the Loaded status until both Containers are Closed.
