WHS Work break by quantity

Posted on by Community Member

Hi everybody,


does sombody know if it's possible to break wave-generated work by quantity?

The only parameter i found limits the line-quantity not the work-quantity.

For example:

Today we break the work by zones (we like to keep it like that). Lets say there is work for 1000 items in zone A but the pickers trolley is limited to 100 pieces. Today the picker starts work and breaks it when the trolley is full. The WHS generates new work for the remaining 900 items, right? Then another worker can continue with the newly generated work and pick the next 100 items. What we want is to generate 10 work items à 100 pieces during wave processing so that 10 pickers can concurrently start picking.

Is that possible?

Greetings

Nils

    Unfortunately the Work Breaks only look at the line quantity today.  There is no maximum break for the entire piece of Work.  You suggested flow (utilizing the Full button on the RF) is how most customers use the system today.

    Hi Rob,

    thank you for the anwer. Using the full button was my proposal too. But this way we have to work sequentially. I think my boss wants me to customize this.

    Hi there,

    maybe i got a solution for this problem. I don't understand the current behaviour anyway.

    For instance i have a work item with 99 pieces of item A and 50 pieces of item B. Our maximum is at 50. The work breaks into two work items today.

    - Work 1: 50 pieces item A

    - Work 2: 49 pieces item A and 50 pieces item B

    So work two is almost twice as much as work one.

    A small addition in WHSWorkCreate will break the work item if we exceed the max quantity (not only the line). So the upper example will break into three works.

    - Work 1: 50 pieces item A

    - Work 2: 49 pieces item A

    - Work 3: 50 pieces item B

    Maybe this could be useful to someone else.

    Here the code snippet (WHSWorkCreate->processTempTable()). The customized part is line 15 to 20.

    // Process the complete temp table
        while (queryRun.next())
        {
            tmpWorkLine = queryRun.get(tableNum(WHSTmpWorkLine));

            if (tmpWorkLine.WorkTemplateCode)
            {
                continue;
            }

            tmpWorkLine.WorkTemplateCode = workTemplateTable.WorkTemplateCode;
            tmpWorkLine.update();
            buf2Buf(tmpWorkLine, locTmpWorkLine);

            // break work if we exceed max qty
            if (workTemplateTable.MaxQty != 0)
            {
                hasBreak = hasBreak || runningInventQtyWork + 
                        tmpWorkLine.InventQty > workTemplateTable.MaxQty;
            }    

            if (this.checkForBreak(workTemplateTable.RecId, queryRun) || !workId || hasBreak)
            {  ...
