12Hello All,
I am having trouble splitting sales order picking work for an item that is inventoried in two separate pallet quantities. I have a client requirement that results in multiple pallet units to be required for a single item. This is the result of pallet quantities differing among multiple suppliers.
- In this scenario a pallet (PL) of item A contains 520 units. A different vendor sends the same product on a Short Pallet (SP) and contains only 260.
- In location 1, two SPs exist with total unit count of 520.
- When work is created, the work states to pick 1 PL rather than 2 SP.
I have created work breaks on SP but that will be incorrect when the reverse case occurs: 1 PL of 520 on-hand will result in work for 2 SP.
Using the FULL feature on the mobile device works as a workaround, but this occurrence is too frequent for that to be a full-time solution.
I understand why this happens as there is no unit specified in on-hand. The system simply sees 520 and creates the work according to unit sequence groups, locations directive and work templates. However, as this is a common scenario in warehouses, it seems there must be a way to break work according to the LP quantity on hand.
Is there a way for the work template or location directive to evaluate the quantity on-hand to determine what unit are there based on the LP quantity?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
