Pack form with Unit wise line details

Hello All,

I have a scenario for Manual Packing to identify Pcs Pack and Standard Box Pack.

Scenario Pre-Setup

1. I have Setup Barcode for Item, here i have 2 a. for Pcs b. for Box

2. Physical Dimension for Box Unit and Pcs

3. Now If i have a sales order of 50 Pcs, the work created for Pick is split into Box and Pcs requirement

Problem-1, the put is done only in pcs, though i have setup location directive lines unit wise same as pick. Even if this is to work this way "Ok"

4. Now on the manual pack user can see item lines in Pcs i.e. 50 Pcs

5. I am creating a New Container

Actual Result

1. while i scan the OutBox unit EAN code, system calculates only 1 Pcs

Expected Result

1. System should identify it as 1 OutBox or 24 Pcs as per unit conversion

2. With the above Work ID reference, Packer should get list as per unit i.e. 2 Line Item of Pcs to be packed and 2 OutBox to be packed (for which essentially to packing box is used, but a container ID generated)

Just to add further, one may ask why have the OutBox on packing station and not rather directly move to Baydoor.. Here, its essential for me to know how many containers i have on Shipment which includes Manually packed container and Standard container box. As i need to generate Label for each box.

Is it right process or something else can be done.

Looking forward to your inputs and suggestion

Regards,

RE: Pack form with Unit wise line details

The outbound (picking) work will always have only 1 Put line, thus the total quantity is shown. If you have multiple units / items, it will show no unit, and the quantity will be a direct sum in the inventory units for the specific items.

On the pack station, out of the box we do not support parsing of the barcode to retrieve quantity and unit, as you expect, sadly. That's a requirement that is on our backlog, but has not been scheduled for implementation so far.

RE: Pack form with Unit wise line details

Hello Ivan,

I am trying to test a workaround. I have taken some reference from following post though this is for InBound;

community.dynamics.com/.../467949

If the work involves pick line for Pcs and Box, I am trying Automatic Containerization for Box and send the same to Baydoor, the Pcs would be moved to Packing Station.

Following are the settings followed;

1. Location Directives > I have added 2 Lines First line restricted unit is Box and Action directive set to put at Baydoor and second line restricted to Pcs with direction set to Pack Station

2. Created 2 work template

First Work Template unit is set as "Box"

Also, for first work template i have set Query filter

and work break header as well.

3. container Build template I have query setup for Unit = Box

4. On release to warehouse, its expected that the 2 work ID to be created with Work for Box unit to have Container ID, however, thats not the Actual result.

System is creating 1 work ID with no Put location identified or container ID been generated.

Where am i going wrong here.

RE: Pack form with Unit wise line details

Hello Ivan,

So i was able to resolve the above issue with following 2 change;

1. My Container Group had first box without any dimension

2. Work Template i change the sorting to Container ID and Work Break Header by Container ID.

though the work getting created correct, i am getting following warning;

The allocation line for 1.00 OutBox of AG0001 could not be packed.

Also, in the above workaround scenario, I shall have to create Container Type for each Item Box size. As, In this case, customer has 1000 SKU and each SKU has different Box Dimension.

How do i ensure that each item is assigned standard box size as per its matching dimension or can this be achieved without creating Container Type for each type of Box Dimension.
