Advanced WMS Production Over-Pick

Report

Posted on by andersjd

All,

I have a situation where the warehouse worker may want to over-pick material for a production order using the mobile device and Advanced Warehousing. I know that I can over-pick on a SO and Transfer Order with settings in the mobile device menu item and in the worker record, but I cannot figure out how to allow over-picking of materials on a production pick work item. This is needed for this specific situation as we are not using license plate control, but may have a box of 50 each that we want to move to the line-side location (stage) when the Pick List only calls for 1 item. We would only consume 1 on the production order, but the remaining 49 would be located LineSide so no new work would be created for future production orders until the entire 49 were consumed.

Has anyone worked out a solution to this issue?

Thanks,

Jonathan

RE: Advanced WMS Production Over-Pick

An alternate approach would be to use Wave Replenishment.

But You would need to update to AX 2012 CU13 or use this upgrade patch KB 4015472. (Not sure about D365).

On your production wave template make sure Replenish is there as a step.

You production pick should be from LineSide.

The wave replenishment should be from your storage location to your LineSide Location.

Whenever a Production wave is released to warehouse it will check if the requisite quantity is available at Line Side otherwise it will create a replenishment work for the same.

Allow overpick on the menuitem used for Replenishment Put away work, so that the worker can pick whole box instead of lose quantity. Alternatively you can use Box as your replenishment unit.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. That's what I thought, but figured I'd throw it out to see if anyone has another option. So if they warehouse worker needs to pick an entire box, we manually move the box to the lineside location and production order will pick from there.

Hi,

If you are specifically picking for a production order then the system would allow you to pick only the BOM quantity and it will not allow you to pick excess as the reservation is done only for the quantity as per the BOM lines. We can do an item movement to the Production stage locations and consume the same from that locations for all those items which cannot be picked as per the BOM quantity.
