Suggestion best stock allocation when picking orders

Updated over a year ago

Description

Expiry dates, batch-serial numbers, put-away date, and quantity information are recorded whenever stock is received and can be used by the WMS to suggest best stock allocation when picking orders.


Detail Steps

WMS supports below picking strategies:

Picking Strategy

What it does

LEXFO Last Expiry Date in First Out

Selects oldest expiry/batch first

FEXFO First Expiry Date in First Out

Selects newest expiry/batch first

LIFO Last In First Out

Stock most recently received will be selected for picking first

FIFO First In First Out

Oldest stock received will be selected for picking first

MIN

Looks for small quantity batches of stock

MAX

Looks for large quantity batches of stock

BTC#ASC

Batch number Ascending > Pick Batch number in ascending order (A-Z 0-9)

BTC#DESC

Batch number Descending > Pick Batch number in descending order (Z-A 9-0)

BESTFIT

Only picks ONE STOCK GROUP and will not split the line. If no stock group has enough quantity then pick will fail for the line and the user must MANUAL PICK the batches.

BYSQL

This allows the customisation of the ORDER BY clause used to specify the stock record selection order to fulfill the line item.

BYSCRIPT

This allows very detailed customisation of the PICK line by line - allowing code to executed and the PICK METHOD to change based on any set of variables.

For example you could have a different pick method per item number or have a different strategy depending on the day of the week.

FEXFO BTC#ASC

Oldest Expiry Date Out First Batch Ascending

FEXFO BTC#DESC

Oldest Expiry Date Out First Batch Descending

BINASC

This allows to sort by bin lowest number

BINDESC

This allows to sort by bin highest number

BESTFIT ASC

Attempts to pick the LEAST NUMBER OF BATCHES for the line and will always pick the line if there exists enough stock.
