Warehouse Picks - Bin Assignment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 48

Hello, 

I have a client that would like their Warehouse Picks to assign the Bins to pick from by the lowest quantity first and then assign the next bins with the next lowest quantity. In other words, they do not want the bin with the most quantity to be the first bin to pick from.

For example, a Warehouse Pick is created for an item that is located in three different bins. The total quantity on the pick is 50 and there is 10 in Bin A, 15 in Bin B, and 50 in Bin C. 

They would like the Warehouse Pick first list Bin A (10), then Bin B (15) and last Bin C (25). 

I hope this isn't clear as mud.

    In general the system will suggest that you pick in fifo order - so your oldest purchase is first sold. This is unless you use the lifo costing method.

    I don't think there is a configuration option that will do what you are looking for. So I think that will require custom code.

    Hi,

    As the awnser above me stated, there is no standard way to do this. 

    I've created a similar thing in the past for a customer of ours. 
    And they also wanted the quantity to be rounded up to the size of a box / pallet. 

    To do this we created a full custom "Create Pick" button. 

    looping over all suggested whse.lines, filtering the Bin Contents that are available and ordering them ascending. 
    Once you have them in the correct order you can just do a FindFirst, and Next until you have the quantity you need.
