Picking for Production Orders

Posted on by Rosey

Hi All,

I am having an issue with picking items for production orders. When I start the production order the picking list is created. We use scanners to pick all of the product into the order, however the items on the picking list are not actually posted until the entire picking list has been populated (ended) by the scanner. So, until the order is complete all of these items are being Physically Reserved to the order instead of Picked or Deducted. Which is confusing when trying to figure out what is reserved for orders vs. actually picked.

Does anyone know a way to change the status of a picking list item to Picked in real time using a scanner??

Thanks!

@RichardBlanc this thread is from 2014 and for a different issue, please raise a new question and clearly state your issue. Please include what CU are you on and any mods / ISV solutions you have, what is the flushing principle of your items, what are your production start parameters set to, when are you executing raw material picking work, etc.

RE: Picking for Production Orders

Hello,

I have the opposite issue : using WAX (AX2012 R3) even if picking list journal is created at the start, results from scanners will be new journal lines in new journal.

If we do not generate the picking list, sometimes all scanners arrive in the same journal but not always. We identified that the WAX user is a criterion for AX for creating a new journal, but there is probably more.

Is there a mean to always have all picking list lines into only one journal for a production order?

It is inventory->pick.

I do not see where I can click Stock->Pick in the Pick Journal Lines form.

First, do it manualy in AX, just to understand how it works, from a picking list journal, go to lines, select the line to pick and then click Stock -> Pick, in that form you must select the quantity and the inventory dimensions.

To do it by code, it is somethink like:

static void tutorialPickTransactions(Args _args)

{

ProdJournalBOM prodJournalBOM;

InventDim inventDim;

InventMovement inventMovement;

InventUpd_Picked inventUpd_Picked;

InventDimParm inventDimParm;

//quantity must be negative if you want to pick, to unpick reverse the sign

Qty quantityToPick;

//find the line you want to pick

prodJournalBOM = ProdJournalBOM::findRecId(0);

//maybe your inventory dimension is different, then, you have to build a new one

inventDim = inventDim::find(ProdJournalBOM.InventDimId);

inventDimParm.clear();

inventDimParm.initFromInventDim(inventDim);

inventMovement = InventMovement::construct(prodJournalBOM);

inventUpd_Picked = inventUpd_Picked::newParameters(inventMovement,

inventDim,

inventDimParm,

inventDim,

inventDimParm,

quantityToPick);

}

I hope it helps you

That is EXACTLY what I want to do! But I am not very familiar with working with Tables, how do I edit the table??

In those scenarios I use to change inventTrans statusIssue value using standard functionallity "pick", it changes statusIssue from OnOrder (or Physically reserved) to Picked before you post the journal, I have done it several times with scanners, because Picked status in the inventary transactions is a way to say "those units have been picked by a warehouse operator, but we don't have post yet the journal related to those lines, items, quantities...".

To use pick functionallity by code use InventUpd_Picked class, it is very easy and you can pick and unpick lines, just reversing the sign of the quantity.

Thanks Rachit,

What parameter needs to be changed so that a journal will be created for each line rather than one big journal when starting a production order?

Hi Rosey,

You can keep posting the journal for each line you pick. So instead of having one journal with 10 lines, you will be posting 10 journals with 1 line each.

How can I post only one line, and make sure that the other lines still stay open to be added to the order when they are eventually picked?
