Check for open LBs by consolidation group while packing

[joka89]

Hi Experts,

I would like to implement a simple process where the consolidation group is in a 1 to 1 relationship with one outbound delivery order (everything shipped to the same party is in one outbound delivery order).

Due to the size of the ODO, multiple warehouse orders with several Pick-HUs from different acitivty areas have to be created and all warehouse orders find the same packing station / bin.

All warehouse orders should be packed in the same HU. My question would be: How is the worker at the packing station able to see if all warehouse orders / pick-HUs arrived at the packing bin? I want to prevent that the HU is closed prematurely which would result in multiple HUs / packages.

Is there any way to check in /SCWM/PACK i.e. if the picking for the consolidation group is complete without having to monitor the ODO on a different monitor? What would be the recommendation?

Thanks and best regards!

Hi @joka89 ,

My opinion:

"My question would be: How is the worker at the packing station able to see if all warehouse orders / pick-HUs arrived at the packing bin? I want to prevent that the HU is closed prematurely which would result in multiple HUs / packages."  -> Please use user controlled  Pick Pack Pass in Warehouse creation rule so picker can pick WO/WTs in their respective area and place in packing station.

• System-controlled pick, pack, and pass function

  With this setting, the system specifies the sequence for processing the warehouse orders and corresponding pick-HUs.

  It creates a higher-level warehouse order that contains all other warehouse orders that have been created. Only the first warehouse order in the sequence is active, all other warehouse orders are inactive. The sequence in which the system orders the warehouse orders corresponds to the sequence that you have defined in Customizing for the activity areas in the warehouse order creation rules.

  1. During warehouse order creation, the pick-HU determination determines the suitable pick-HUs for all warehouse tasks of the warehouse order.

  2. The system checks the warehouse order type. If you activated the pick, pack, and pass function, the system creates a higher-level warehouse order that contains multiple warehouse orders sorted by activity area. The system only passes on the "standard" warehouse orders to resource management in EWM.

• User-controlled pick, pack, and pass function

  With this setting, the system creates the warehouse orders and the corresponding pick-HUs the same as for the system-controlled pick, pack, and pass function. However, all created warehouse orders are active, and no sequence for processing them exists. The user takes a warehouse order that is valid for his or her activity area.

Addition:  in Warehouse Process Type, Complete pick WR checked - So picking tasks would create either for all items or none.

"Is there any way to check in /SCWM/PACK i.e. if the picking for the consolidation group is complete without having to monitor the ODO on a different monitor? What would be the recommendation?" -> I think above will fix for such case...work center layout, checked consolidation group validation while repacking.

Please let us know if further questions.

Kind Regards,

Ajit

Hi Ajit, thanks for your efforts. I think Pick, Pack & Pass would work in my scenario if the entire ODO would fit in 1 Pick-HU. Unfortunately multiple Pick-HUs are required so if 1 Pick-HU is complete it will be moved to the packing station nevertheless and the worker at the packing station would have to monitor the superior warehouse order status. I think we probably cannot avoid a development for this.

Best regards,

Jonas
