WHS Multiple put locations for one replenishment work

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi all,

Situation: Replenishment is triggered by processing a wave. Replenishment work should get 3 boxes from bulk with 3 different items, and put these 3 boxes on 3 different fixed locations. Is it possible to create one replenishment work for multiple items with multiple put locations?

    Hi Frans,

    I figured it must be possible, so I attempted it, but it didn't work as I expected!

    First, I set Location directive failures for Sales orders and for Replenishments.

    Then I set an item to have two fixed (picking) locations, and used Location stocking limits to set a maximum of Qty 3 in each. The picking locations were empty.

    I created Location directives for Sales orders and Replenishments that had 'Allow split' ticked in all the right places. And then I released an order for Qty 5.

    I was expecting one or two replenishment work(s) from the Bulk location (BULK2) into two picking locations (A2/B4). And I was expecting Sales work from those two picking locations. What I actually get is:

    • One replenishment work, with three lines. Two pick lines from the same bulk location for Qty 3 and Qty 2. One put line for Qty 5 into the first pick location.
    • One sales order work, with two lines, which is 'Blocked' by the replenishment. One pick from the first pick location for Qty 3. One put for Qty 3 to the outbound dock.
    • One sales order work, with two lines. One pick from the second pick location for Qty 2. One put for Qty 2 to the outbound dock.

    It's a bit odd, since the second pick location will never get replenished. And why is the replenishment work putting 5 into a location that is only allowed 3?

    If it was a requirement of mine, I would be investigating further, and either

    • discovering a dumb mistake in my setup, or
    • logging it with MS

    Hi,

    i tried that too after release of R3. I think a work can only have one final put location. Replenishment is triggered if there is not enough on-hand on the picking location and there will be at least one work per location. The "Allow split" works for picking but it doesn't seem to work for put.

    Correct me if i'm wrong.

    @Guy

    Yes this behavior is strange. I've never worked with fixed locations and limits and therefore have no idea. Could be a gap? In your case the picking process could only work out if the user is able to overwrite the picking location. But will be sent to the wrong location first.

    Regards Nils

    @Guy

    Did you consider this setting in Location directive actions?

    Hi Nils,

    On the 'Put' LDA for the Replenishment, that is set (i.e. Put to defined Picking locations only). On the 'Pick' LDA for the Sales order, it is also set.

    About an hour after I wrote 'If it was a requirement of mine', I realised it was a requirement of mine!

    My scenario is slightly different; where a multi-line sales order requires replenishments for several items, I want those replenishments to refill each item's picking location. What it was actually doing was creating one replenishment Work with multiple Picks and one Put (into the Pick location of one of the items).

    I solved it by setting a Work break on the Replenishment Work template (break on 'Location'). I now get multiple Replenishment Work, each with a Put to the relevant picking location of the item.

    I tried this setup in your scenario, Frans, and it didn't give me the result you're looking for. Would you be happy with multiple replenishments with different Put locations? Perhaps try a way to break the work which isn't based on the Location field.

    Guy, the specific way you did it in the end (breaking the replenishment work by location) seems to be the recommended way right now.

    There is a problem with work that is created where we do not break by location (the multiple picks and 1 put - you had multiple picks for different items?) - it is a known issue, no ETA for addressing it. So if you need it, log a support request with MS, so it raises the stack rank of that deliverable.

    Thanks

    Thanks, breaking the replenishment work per location seems to be an acceptable solution.

    Disadvantage: optimal location picking sequence for the various replenishment picks from bulk is not quite supported. We consider printing a document that lists multiple replenishment work IDs, to give an overview to the replenisher.

    Hello Guy, Thank you for this solution. wondering will this work break by location work on Min-Max based replenishment. Also, do you have an idea on how can we control the whole process by the pallet? As our warehouse holds multiple items on a pallet. While doing replan we pick on an item from that pallet so then the rest of the items needs to be put back in the same location. Is it possible to pick the full pallet and then replan from it and at the end put back to an empty bulk location?

    Hi Hitesh,

    Yes, work break by location should work for Min/Max replenishments.

    The other part is trickier. I assume that you do not have Pallet as a unit on the Unit Sequence Group? I have never tried it, but you have an option on the Location Directive Action to Round up to full LP. However, I suspect that will not do what you want (I imagine it will ask you to take the full quantity of the item off of the bulk LP, leaving the other items on the LP in the bulk location).

    Same issue in 2023 Client wants multiple PUT lines on a single replenishment work
