WHS: Mobile: SO and TO Picking: Generate a new target license plate id with every picking license plate id

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by usafrancis 145

Trying to figure out how to set it up so that different target license plate id is generated when doing SO/TO picking so that picking LP ID and target LP ID is one to one relationship.

All items belong to tracking dimension group with batch as primary stocking.

Example:

LP 001 (batch 011) and LP 002 (batch 012) are being picked for the same work (SO or TO).

Right now, the target license plate ID would be the same (combined into one) when different LP are picked at the same work. So, it only generate 1 record @ license plate label table since there is one target license plate. How do I get new target LP ID generated for every single picking LP so that I can have every picking LP record @ license plate label table?

Or how do I get different record created via unique batch number in LP plate label table even if the target LP ID is the same so that every unique batch number can be printed out as label even though LP ID for different batch maybe the same since that's really the end goal?

    I think you need to look into setting up your work template to break work based on the picking location, at least.

    This way you will get 2 different work orders for the example above, and will have 1 TLP per picking location. - note: it can be the LP in the picking location itself, if you are picking up the entirety of the location quantity.

    @Ivan: this means you can execute only one pick for a Location (isn't that right) ?

    I'd look more into calling the nesting function after each LP scan.

    And repeat the pick step (with LP info cleared, obviously) to scan the next LP

    A little more background info. Reservation hierarchy for item is batch reservation (already reserve batch numbers @ SO/TO). To simply the test, LP number vs batch number is one to one (in real data, one LP may contain multiple batches). Both batches (LPs) are in the same location "storage". When work is created, there are 2 picks @ the same work from storage location and want to be able to separate TLP generation for each LP picked.

    Tried the workbreak route but does not break my TLP in the same work unless they are broken into separate work. There must be a way to break TLP in the same work and that's what I am trying to find.

    Breaking it into separate work headers is the only way you can achieve this requirement as of today. It is not possible to have more than one Target LP for one work header

    Thanks. How about creating separating records in license plate label table per unique batch number? Right now, it creates one record per one TLP at LP label table.

    Correction. Create separate record in LP label table per unique TLP/Batch combination is the true requirement after I think through it.

    That one should be possible, and shouldn't be to complex of a customization

    Hi usafrancis,

    Have you thought about using the 'Full' function on the mobile device? After you pick the first Batch onto the first LP, when asked to pick the second Batch, hit the 'Full' button. AX will create a new Work header for the Batch you have picked, and ask you to complete the Put. You can then pick the second batch on its own LP.

    Hi, Guy:

    Yes, by using "full", a new work can be created but operationally, it gets messy since WMS worker prints out the pick list with original work ID printed on it and the "full" will split the work and create new work ID afterwards on the fly which creates confusion for WMS workers since they only see the original work ID on the pick list. Going from stage to bay would also need the new work ID (after the split) to complete pick from stage and put to bay. I can make it work but difficult sell to end users. Thanks.
