Outbound Sorting Setup

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 11
Hi! I am currently trying to set up our warehouses outbound pallet build process and trying to use the “outbound sorting” mobile device menu.  I was able to successfully process a sales order and pick the items to a license plate and put to a sort location.  Unfortunately when I try to use the outbound sorting menu and scan the license plate it gives the error “the selected container or license plate record doesn’t specify a valid work id”.  I can see on the work line it is the correct license plate and all pick lines are closed.  Work status is “in process” but there is no container id only target license plate. What is missing to be able to scan the license plate and complete the outbound sorting function?  To note: the work template modified was the sales order work type.  I did try to add location directives and work template for the sorted inventory picking but not sure how that works with the sales order or if it is even necessary. 
 
desired process flow: 
pick items from locations to a license plate>put license plate to sort location>scan license plate at sort location>scan to generated license plate for pallet build broken down by sales order>once pallet is full or sales order picks have all been moved, move pallet license plate to final outbound staging location

    Are you referring to this functionality?
     
     
    As far as I can tell, this only works in combination with Packing and Containers, which you don't appear to have in your picking process.

    Ido have a container packing policy setup and packing type for the sort.  See attached. Are you saying it MUST go to a packing station prior to being available to sort?  can the "packing: occur simultaneously as the items are being picked to the container?

    Good day,
     
    I believe you need to put the picked items first on the pack location:

    Thank you all for the help!  I have added the packing to the pick step and successfully picked and packed the items before moving them to the sort location.  Unfortunately, it still gave the same error when trying to use the outbound sorting. Adding some setups for the location directives and menu item for the pick/[pack.  One thing I wasnt sure on is I have no official "pack" locations even though I do have a pack location type.  What location should be assigned as a "pack" type if the pack is being performed at the pick?
