Need single outbound picking Work ID per Pallet Qty

Hi,

I have a scenario in advanced warehousing - outbound order picking work creation i.e.

Warehouse storage locations are non-LPN tracked

Batch tracked ITEM with unit conversion setup (Ea-Box-PL)

Sales order line is created with Qty (box as UOM)

Upon release to warehouse - I am expecting system to create single Work ID per PL qty however I am unable to get this behavior through OOTB - Work template setup.

I tried breaking down Work by -

Temporary work transaction = highest unit but it didn't work as work is not split by one PLT

Temporary work transaction = Packing Qty but it didn't work as work is not split by one PLT

I believe there should be a standard way to break WorkID header by PLT quantity (as per ITEM - unit conversion - PL)?

Please advise.

Thanks

Good morning, afternoon, or evening depending on your location!

Here are some steps and considerations to achieve the desired behavior of creating a single Work ID per pallet quantity (PLT):
Key Points to Address:

Work Template Setup:

Ensure that the work template is configured to split work based on the highest unit of measure (UOM). However, since the client mentioned this didn't work, further refinement is needed.

Wave Template Configuration:

Check the wave template settings. Ensure that the "Break by Unit" option is enabled and configured to respect the pallet quantity (PLT) as defined in the unit conversion setup.

Unit Conversion Validation:

Confirm that the unit conversion setup for the item is correctly defined (Ea → Box → PL). This ensures that the system recognizes the pallet quantity as a distinct unit.

Custom Work Break Logic:

If the out-of-the-box (OOTB) functionality doesn't meet the requirement, consider using a custom work break logic. This can be achieved by creating a custom wave step code or modifying the work creation process through extensions.

Batch Tracking and Non-LPN Locations:

Since the storage locations are non-LPN tracked, ensure that the batch tracking logic doesn't interfere with the work creation process. The system should still respect the unit conversion hierarchy.

Testing and Validation:

Test the configuration in a sandbox environment to validate that the work is being split correctly by pallet quantity. Use different scenarios to ensure consistency.

Additional Recommendations:

Pick Line Grouping:

Enable the "Pick Line Grouping" feature if applicable. This allows multiple work lines with the same item and location to be grouped, which might help in achieving the desired behavior.

Outbound Sorting:

Consider using the outbound sorting functionality to organize and group work based on pallet quantities.

Custom Development:

If all else fails, a minor customization might be required to enforce the splitting of work by pallet quantity during the work creation process.

Hope this is helpful :)

Good day,

Could you change the following settings on the location directive for sales orders and try again?

From quantity > to quantity 1

Unit > PL

Restrict by unit > Yes

Best regards,

Laurens van der Tang
