Can I sort pick instruction by bin code without warehouse management?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 35

We have a warehouse of 8,000+ parts, each with a bin code. When the Pick Instruction is printed for a sales order, it sorts based upon Item No. Is there any way the Pick Instruction can be sorted based upon Bin Code? I understand if we start using warehouse management then this is possible. However, we are trying to avoid that. Currently, the pick instructions have our order pullers haphazardly going to random rows and locations. If the line items were sorted alphanumerically by Bin Code, we would have much better efficiency. Thoughts? Thanks.

    If you are using report 214 “Pick Instruction” a quick win would be to create a custom layout. You can copy the existing one and you can then alter the sorting. This thread mentions what to try: stackoverflow.com/.../how-to-specify-an-order-for-the-columns-in-a-matrix

    It is fairly simple to do. Just find the “group” for the lines and access the properties page. In properties it has a sorting section. Just remove what is currently there and change it to be the bin code

    Thanks for the response. How do I copy the report to modify it? If I wasn't clear, this is the cloud-based version of Business Central, if that changes things.
