Get Warehouse Task - Transport

Explanation

If a transport task is activated in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Task Type Setup tab, a warehouse task is generated when a transport task is created. If that is the case, it is possible to execute the transport task in warehousing as well.

Warehouse tasks can be assigned to a warehouse worker either before that task has been started or when it is started.

The warehouse tasks are ordered by their latest start date and priority. If a task has been assigned to a warehouse worker before it was started, this task is prioritized over other tasks. When a new task is started, it is assigned to a specific warehouse worker; depending on the task types and the location groups, he can work on the next task selected.

Prerequisites

• The warehouse task type setup must be set for the specific task type. The task must have Active status in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Task Type Setup tab.
• The warehouse worker must be entered for the specified site in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker tab. Also, the task type and location group must be entered for the worker and be activated in both Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker/Task Type tab and Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker/Location Group.
• A warehouse task must have been created. It is the task type setup that decides whether a task will be created. You can see if there are any available tasks in Warehouse Tasks. Also, the task must have Released status.

System Effects

When a warehouse task has been selected, the status of the task is changed to Started, which means that the transport task is being performed.
