Assembly Order default pick bin in Directed Put-Away and Pick Location

Hi WMS experts,

I set up a Location with Directed Put-away and Pick so that I can use Zones. 3 zones are set up for Receiving, Assembly and Shipping.

There is only one bin needed for each zone.

For the assembly routing, I set up the following bins:

The ASSMB bin is in the Assembly zone and is a Put-away bin type.

The PICK bin is in the Shipping zone and is a Pick bin type.

When I created the Assembly Order, the assembly pick created the correct destination (To) bin (PICK in the Shipping zone), but the (From) bin is blank.

Assembly order showing the bin input:

Assembly order > Create Warehouse Pick:

It is strange that the "Take" zone and bin fields are blank. This won't allow me to Register the Pick to post the Assembly Order. This is a Assemble-To-Stock item.

Did I miss a step in the setup?

Thank you

Peter

RE: Assembly Order default pick bin in Directed Put-Away and Pick Location

Hi Marco

I've sorted out the bin needed in an Assembly Order process. My location has Directed Put-away and Pick.

The default "To-Assembly Bin Code" in the Location setting requires a PUT type bin code.

When you have Assembly Orders that create assembly warehouse picks, there are 2 lines "Take" and "Place" for the component items in the BOM.

For the "Place" line, the bin defaults to this "To-Assembly Bin Code".

However, in the "Take" line, the bin defaults to another bin (Pick and Put type) that is defined in the Put-Away Template. If Zone is used, this bin will be a separate bin in the assembly zone.

If there are no "Pick and Put type" bins defined, the "Take" line will have a blank bin. It doesn't default to the Adjustment Bin defined in the Location setup.

Hi Peter,

so you got your problem solved so far?

When i tried the case on my cdx environment nothing fancy was necessary. the pick wanted to take the items from the bin code from the location setup.

But i have to admit, sometimes these WMS cases from BC are quite strange.... ;)

Regards,

Marco

3rd update:

The answer is in the Item Bin Content settings - for the Fixed bin to use according to the Put-away template

I should not be setting 2x Fixed bin

A 2nd update:

I set the Put-Away Template with these lines, hoping that it would direct the Put-Away process to use the Fixed bin codes.

The 2 items in warehouse receipt have these same bin content settings:

For the warehouse put-away, I am trying to achieve:

"take" line from Receiving zone and Receiving bin (receive bin type)

"place" line into Assembly zone and Assembly bin (put and pick bin type)

But the warehouse put-away only worked for one item. The other item had different 'Place' bin.

This outcome is strange, given that both items have the same Bin Content settings.

Does anyone know why this could happen?

Thank you

An update:

I created another bin (bin type = Put and Place) in the Assembly zone, and when I run the same Assembly Order, it created the Warehouse Pick with the "Take" line having this new (Component) bin.

The "Place" line was using the bin as defaulted in the Location setting (To-Assembly Bin Code - which has to be a Put bin type).

So I had the Assembly pick registered and the Assembly Order posted.

I'm trying to use zones and bins for my client's setup to achieve this movement.

At the moment, I have the process working with the correct bins used in Put-Away and Picks.

The only issue is in Receive zone where the Put-Away "Place" line has no bin defaulted (green arrow). I have to manually enter the bin code. Is this standard functionality or did I miss a step?

Hi Marco

I've enough stock in ASSMB bin in the location. This bin is set as the Pick bin for assembly routing but I don't know where to the bin for 'Take' in the pick comes from. ASSMB is the bin for 'Place' in the pick.

Hi Peter,

first look is ok. Do you have enough stock from this item in the location code available?

Marco
