Pick Part by Choice

Explanation

Use this activity to pick a part by choice, i.e. to report picking of parts in a more flexible way. What you pick must correspond to the customer order line or the shop order material line, but it doesn't have to completely correspond to what is reserved on the pick list. I.e. you can pick from another location, lot batch, serial etc.

Prerequisites

• The Pick by Choice list in the Site/Extended Site Info/Inventory/General tab must have been set to Not Reserved, Not Pick Listed, Not on Printed Pick List, or Allowed.
• The pick list line cannot be Blocked for Pick by Choice.
• Pick by choice can only be used for customer order and shop order pick lists. From both customer order and shop order pick lists you can pick from customer order line reservations, customer order pick list lines, shop order material line reservations, shop order pick list lines and DOP reservations depending on the site setting.

System Effects

• The part will, if possible, be picked according to the site and source rules (only customer order and shop order).
• It is possible to pick the originally reserved inventory part in stock record through pick by choice. It is also included in the List of Values.
• When the user tries to pick from another inventory part in stock record, reservation and pick will be done according to the order below. Example: If the inventory part in stock record the user tries to pick from includes only reserved customer order lines and pick listed customer order lines the reserved customer order lines will be unreserved first. Note: The system will always un-reserve a order line fully, i.e. no partial un-reserve will be done even though the full quantity is not needed. All reservation will be done using the automatic reservation, if this fails for any reason the user will receive an error message. 
  1. Available quantity.
  2. Reserved quantity, only customer order line and shop order material line reservations will be used. If several orders exists the one with latest planned due date (for customer order) or required date (for shop order) will be reserved and picked. If several orders have the same planned due or required date the system tries to minimize the number of orders to be unreserved.
  3. Pick listed quantity, only customer order and shop order pick list lines will be used. If several orders exists the one with latest planned due date (for customer order) or required date (for shop order) will be reserved and picked. If several orders have the same planned due or required date the system tries to minimize the number of orders to be unreserved.
  4. Printed Pick List quantity, only customer order and shop order pick list lines will be used. If several orders exists the one with latest planned due date (for customer order) or required date (for shop order) will be reserved and picked. If several orders have the same planned due or required date the system tries to minimize the number of orders to be unreserved.
• If you pick from a customer order pick list and you pick less than what is reserved, the initial reservation will be decreased with the quantity picked from the pick by choice dialog. Note: If you use pick by choice from the customer order pick list, you enter a record that corresponds to the reservation, and you pick less than what is reserved the remaining quantity will be unreserved.
