Hi,
We have pallets for sale, however, we also have quantities less than a pallet. We have location directive setup to pick first by restrict by unit to the Pallet so that we first try to create work for full pallets. However, a lot of time the bulk locations for the smaller quantities are not filled. So the work is not created since the location directive is not working.
To avoid putting from pallet to bulk I am considering that we should add a rule to break down the pallet. I do not want all pallets to be broken down. So the first pallet should be broken down and subsequent orders should first try to get a full pallet and if not found, try to pick first from the broken pallet. Otherwise we have a lot of broken pallets that sum up to a full pallet ..and thus have a lot of work.
Other option is to do replenishment. I did read an article somewhere. Then the work is held till the replenishment is done. Does anybody have experience with this? I believe it is more work than breaking down a pallet (if on ground level accessible by the worker).
Also collecting various sales orders and then summing the order quantities makes up a pallet..however, the system does not group them back into one pallet. So sales order x,y have 9 and 10 items which make 19 items on 1 pallet and 1 pcs from bulk.
