Handle by license plate (picking full pallet/license plate)

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 160
Hi Everyone,
 
Got a question about outbound process in advanced warehouse which I believe could be related to 'handle by license plate' parameter on mobile device menu item.
 
handle-by-LP.png
 
The task is relatively simple - customer wants to ship out entire pallets with minimum effort. The full scenario is as follows:
 
  1. Items are received into dock on a pallet
  2. Picking work is created to ship out the pallet and all its contents
For simplicity we can assume that this is simple cross docking scenario where PO is linked to a sales order and the lines on SO/pallet/PO are exactly the same.
 
Location directive allows for receiving items into license plate controlled location. For example, purchase order for 2 different items is received into dock with license plate LP-0001.
 
Once goods become available, sales order for same items and quantities is released to warehouse. Work is created to pick the two items from the dock where pallet LP-0001 is kept. 
 
Is it possible to transact full license plate LP-0001? In real life scenario, pallet could be made of numerous lines so ideally we would want to avoid having to scan the license plate X number of times.
 
By the sound of it, this is what 'handle by license plate' menu item is supposed to do. However, when I attempt to use it on created work ID I get the message "The work XXXX cannot be completed because some of the pick work lines do not have located license plate IDs. Consider using the Work templates form to set up work breaks so that all work lines include a located license plate ID".  I tried kicking off the work manually to have the target LP created but the error persists. I can't see any documentation on web nor do I know anyone who managed to get this option to work.
 
Many thanks for the input

    Hello Adrian,

    'Handle by License plate' option works in a specific cross docking scenario with purchase order and transfer orders, as far as I know this is not applicable to sales picking.

    Please check also the following links:

    Thanks,

    Hello everyone,

    Is there any OOB alternative which would help to reach this goal?

    I have similar requirement:

    1. Produced quantity (in boxes) arrives into the system's default location via "Stock In" journal (Inventory movement, each box has assigned LP at this stage; Also item is controlled by a batch number)

    2. Then user decides what has to be palletized for further storage, basically combining several LPs to common target LP

    3. Issue arise when trying to pick a whole pallet for SO requirement. Standard "Sales picking" asks to define target license plate (probably because this has batch control enabled and taking only 1st batch qty) and I have to perform the same step for every batch number.

    It would be great to take a whole pallet at once, but I am greeted with the same error as in Adrian's post (when handling by licence plate is enabled).

    Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards,

    Mindaugas

    Hi Mindaugas,

    MS has just introduced new feature which could be useful to you. I'm also implementing this on my current project.

    Please see following link docs.microsoft.com/.../order-committed-reservation-based-license-plates-lp-picking-processing

    The idea is to use custom process e.g. Integration to reserve your target license plate against sales order. You can test it yourself via excel add in on sales line.

    When LP reservation is made, you can use mobile device with 'handle by LP' parameter to get the full LP out.

    Hope it helps

    Hi Adrian,

    Thanks for your prompt reply.

    Did you get around the issue described in your initial comment?

    Your suggestion is great, however it contains "integration" part which is not envisioned at the moment in my case.

    KR,

    Mindaugas
