POSC and LOSC in outbound process not working

[iamhe7806]

Hi Experts,

I have following scenario in Outbound Process :
Pick > Pack > Moving to Intermediate area > Staging to GI area

Trial # 1:
POSC + LOSC method used. The External Steps for Pick, Pack and Staging was created. Packing Step was assigned to corresponding destination Storage Type. For Staging Step Source Storage Type was assigned but destination Storage type has been marked as 'Rule Based'. Thereafter, External Steps were assigned sequentially to the Storage Process.

After this LOSC has been configured with Source as Packing Storage type, Destination as Staging Storage Type and assigned to intermediate Storage type along with process type. The idea here is that after Packing the HU WT needs to go to Intermediate Storage type before moving to Staging Area . However, HU WT is directly going to Staging Area, from packing area. - This trial failed.

Trial # 2:

Only POSC method used. The External Process Steps for Pick, Pack, Intermediate area and Staging zone was created. Since in outbound there are no such 'Internal Step' corresponds to 'Intermediate area' exists, therefore the 'External Step' of Intermediate area has been assigned to Internal Step 'PAC'. Packing Step was assigned to corresponding destination Storage Type. Intermediate area was assigned to corresponding Destination Storage type and Bin. For Staging Step Source Storage Type was assigned but destination Storage type has been marked as 'Rule Based'. Thereafter, External Steps were assigned sequentially to the Storage Process. Again, the idea here is that after Packing the HU WT needs to go to Intermediate area before moving to Staging Area . However, HU WT is going to Intermediate area but no further WT is generated to move the HU to Staging Area. - This trial also failed.

Can you please suggest how to achieve the required scenario.

Thanks,

Amit

Hi Juergen,

Pick HU is stored in the bin BIN10.

Please see the screenshot of the detailed quantity movement.

Hi,

"Pick HU is stored in the bin BIN10"

OK. But that does not constitute a movement from the source bin to this pick hu bin. I don't even know HOW this happens. You take the pick HU, that might be from a certain bin, yes. But then you pick your material into that pick HU and move it to the destination bin.

And in your case: you want to move a complete pallet to the pick point. So why do you create a pick HU at all? I know that technically a pick point can work without HU. But if there is one case in a warehouse where it makes NO sense to work without HUs - is when you are having a pick point.

I too have similar scenario

we have a requirement in our project, for an outbound delivery when we pick HUs, some times when we do partial pick, we have to move the entire HU to point call pick point where we do partial pick, repack the picked quantity, send remaining quantity to source bin ( client want this step), the picked quantity to next step, which is packing.

Can we achieve by Combination of LOSC and POSC

Step 1) picking the entire HU from source bin to pick point

Step 2) in Pick point, removing the pick quantity, generate 2 HU labels ( one for the HU which sent back to source bin and second for the HU picked

Step 3) sending back the remaining quantity to source bin

Step 4) move the pick quantity to pack work center

Step 5) loading

Step 6) Goods issue

any suggestions?

Hi,

"Can we achieve by Combination of LOSC and POSC"

Of course you can.

"Step 4) move the pick quantity to pack work center

Step 5) loading"

I suppose there is a step missing? You would not load from the work center, first you stage (to the staging area).

You define a process with the steps pick, pack, stage, and load.

Then you set up a pick point storage type and use LOSC to control the movement from the source storage type.

Hi Juergen,

Thank you for your response.

The steps which I had proposed

Step 1) picking the entire HU from source bin to pick point (LOSC)

Step 2) in Pick point, removing the pick quantity (LOSC)

Step 3) sending back the remaining quantity to source bin (LOSC)

Step 4) move the pick quantity to pack work center (POSC)

Step 5) loading (POSC)

Step 6) Goods issue (POSC)

I configured in sandbox system

I am getting this below issue, the pick quantity is moving from source bin to Pick HU bin OB01, then it is moving from pick HU bin to pick point OB02, then from there it is moving from pick point to Pack work centre OB02.

I am unable to achieve this point “when we do partial pick, we have to move the entire HU to point call pick point where we do partial pick, repack the picked quantity, send remaining quantity to source bin, the picked quantity to next step, which is packing.

I tried all means to change the setting in LOSC “Whole HU”, I tried all 4 options, I am unable to get the scenario.

"he pick quantity is moving from source bin to Pick HU bin OB01"

What is a pick HU bin? That BIN10? What bin is that?

The LOSC settings look ok (except the flag for "pick point", that doesn't do anything. The important part is the storage type role). And I would just set "Blank - not relevant" at this point.

But I can not see the quantities you are moving, so I can not follow.

Hi,

Trial 1 works for me. So I guess you need to give a little bit more information about your settings. And I did not mark "Pick Point Active", especially not for the intermediate storage type.

Thanks Juergen,

I resolved the problem. Trail # 1 worked for me, all I had to do is to set the 'Storage Control Relevance' as '2' in the process type I assigned to the Staging Step in POSC set up. After that, system directed to LOSC and it worked as expected.

Cheers,

Hi Amit,

After this LOSC has been configured with Source as Packing Storage type, Destination as Staging Storage Type and assigned to intermediate Storage type along with process type

Did you mark field "Pick Point Active" for intermediate storage type? If no, can you please check that and try once again using combination of both POSC and LOSC?

Best Regards,

Pavan

Thanks Juergen,

Trail # 1 worked for me, all I had to do is to set the 'Storage Control Relevance' as '2' ( i.e. Process-Oriented Storage Control is Not Relevant) in the Process Type I assigned to the Staging Step in POSC set up.
