Early tote reuse

Posted on by 830

Hello,

I am trying to understand how is this parameters in WHS module working. I set up directives, that put picked stocked in packing stations. The last transactions of the work, the one which puts stock on packing station, replaces the Target LP whit a temporary tote Id. I still don't understand what's the benefit of that...

So far so good. I create a new container in the packing station and pack everything in it. Then, when I try to close it (at the same time, this operation moves the container to the bay-door), I get an error, that I need to specify a LP id at the location (the bay-door is meant, I suppose). And I get stuck, there is no way to move that container out of the packing station.

Locations OUT_01 is final shipping location and is LP controlled

 

And yet another thing: when I execute a picking work in mobile device portal, a temporary tote is created as shown above, but when I execute in AX, the target LP is placed on packing station (this is the same behaviour, as the Early tote reuse parameter is switched off).

So, please anybody explain, what is the purpose of the parameter and how to set it up properly.

Thanks,

Ventsislav

    Hi Ventisislav,

    I can't explain the error, but I think understand the purpose of the functionality.

    Imagine your 'tote' is a box with its own id stamped on the side, and you are using the tote's id as the licence plate id. When your tote gets to the packing area, you might empty it and send it back to be reused for picking.

    'Early tote reuse' allows you to do this since, as you notice, this tote id becomes free when  you move the pick to the packing area.

    Hi Ventsislav,

    Have you actually found an explanation for your error message? :-)

    I was actually able to recreate the exact same error message myself - and also saw this weird difference of license plates for the same item line you mentioned (when checking the license plate on the packing station shipment lines, it shows the original LP for some reason, while checking this same item on the 'on hand by location' form, it shows the temp license plate)

    Now, you probably noticed, that this happens only if you make your profile ID for packing license plate tracked. If your packing profile ID is non-licence plate tracked, than this does not happen - but than this "Early tote reuse" checkbox is totally meaningless since your target license plate will be released of inventory once you complete your put step to your packing location anyway.

    So I am curious as well what this option is for...
