Assemble BOM items and pick list

Posted on by Natevelli

I have assembly BOM items and I know there has to be a way to stop the component items from printing on the assembly pick if not every single component item is available. The end user runs a batch pick list and finds out from the warehouse that they cannot complete ship the order becuase a component is missing. There has to be a setting that stop the assembly pick from printing if it cannot be fulfilled completely.

Hello,

When utilizing Advanced Warehouse, when you create your Warehouse Pick off the Assembly Order, only those Items in stock will populate the Warehouse Pick for the Assembly Order. The Batch Pick List are you running off Assembly Order or Sales Order Picks?

Thanks,

Steve

We are using outbound warehouse request program that runs for both assembly and the sales order. You stated only those items in stock will print on the assembly order pick but can it be so that if one item is unavailable for the assembly pick to not print any of them since the assembly item is incomplete?

Hello,

Does your Location Card have setup Require Pick or set to Directed Pick/Put-Away? Outbound Warehouse I know is an addon from Lanham Associates, I recall.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi

I don't know in standard a feature that allow you to print only pickable component.

I know that considering this scenario:

Go to items list and add this change to item cards:

Item 8912-W : assembly policy = assembly to order process

Item 8920-W : assembly policy = assembly to stock process

Item 1000 : manuf policy = make to order

Go to location RED and set it as PICK required. (this is only setup when need at RED location).

Go to warehouse employee and add your name to location RED.

Please note at this step that we have no inventory at all on RED location regarding our 3 items. We have also no inventory on hands using RED location related to their components.

Create a sales order, customer 10000, location RED. Use our 3 items, qty 10 each. Release it

We will now create inventory pick. As we have no inventory at all (produced / assembled item but also components and sub assemblies one), we expect that no inventory pick is created.

Go to action > warehouse > create inventory putaway / pick and select inventory pick.

ACTUAL RESULT

Inventory pick is created regarding our item 8912-W (assemble to order) process.

So even if we have no inventory, we need to know that actual version (17.2) allows to create pick here. This is actual design.

I did not find way to print specifically here item not in stock, sounds like an addon or custo used here, am I correct?

Hope this is helpful

Kind regards

Hello,

Using the example Jerome laid out, you have Item 8912-W as Assemble to Order, which means that the Sales Order will insert a Qty. to Assemble to Order on insert and a pop-up appear warning you you do not have the inventory to fulfill. You can proceed and if you do an Assembly Order is created to create the finished Assembled Item. When generating the Inventory Pick document, it will show the Assemble-to-Order 8912-W and 1000 Item to be pick. The Assemble-to-Stock will not show as no inventory is available. On the Assembly Order for 8912-W, if you generate the Pick (Action/Warehouse/Inventory Movement (Pick)) nothing will create since NO inventory is available to actually pick and consume to the Assembly Order.

Hope this helps with understanding of the processing flow and setups.

Thanks,

Steve

I have followed this example and problem I find is (actually two) when creating inventory pick movement screen, source document defaults to Sales Order and we have to change it to assembly consumption. This prevent ANY lines from getting created as pick not just assembly to order lines. Second if we run the process again with source document selected as Sales Order then Assembly items (where child item not available) will get created a picks along with others. Is there a setting so I can just set the system up to get automatically create inventory pick list for normal items and assemble to order items only when in stock. looks like some setting is missing

Anita,

Based on your reply if you want the Inventory Movement auto-created when the Inventory Pick for the Assembly Item is created you need to update the Assembly Setup and select Create Movements Automatically. Make sure you have your Assembly Bins setup.

I am adding the links below that review the process and setup for Assembly so you can review:

docs.microsoft.com/.../warehouse-how-to-set-up-basic-warehouses-with-operations-areas

docs.microsoft.com/.../warehouse-how-to-pick-items-with-inventory-picks

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks Steve but the issue is in relation pick list being created when child items on an assemble to order item being created. What we want is a setup where inventory pick list is only created when the items are in stock and one order can have assembly and non assembly items. The problem i have is if you select "Assembly Consumption" as in your first screenshot it does not create pick lists for other (non Assembly) items in stock

Anita,

I am then leaning to a customization that applies the filtering you want to produce the document.

Thanks,

Thanks I'll check if there are other workarounds and I'm surprised there is no option to just create pick lists for what you have in stock for non-assembly items and what can be assembled for Assemble to order BOMs (looking at component child item stock) in one go from sales order, as the system logic is already there
