To select and pick items for component picking:When you navigate to the Component Pick Release window, a Find window initially displays with the criteria for the job or schedule type you select.
To select and pick items for component picking:Navigate to the Component Pick Release window.
Choose your search criteria on the Find window. See: Using the Find Window for Component Picking
The Component Pick Release window displays in the summary view. Fields display applicable to the job or schedule type you choose. The Summary window is enabled as a folder form window. This gives you control of the columns displayed so you can view the information significant to you. See:

The Include in Release check box defaults as marked for all the records. Uncheck records you do not want to release, or clear a record from the Edit menu.
For the discrete manufacturing mode, the Pickset feature enables you to create move orders only when all the components can be allocated. If there is insufficient quantity for any component, then no components for that job are pick released. The Pickset check box is in both the summary and detail windows.
Note: For the Flow manufacturing mode, this feature is always enforced so there is not check box feature displayed.
The Pick Slip Grouping Rule field displays the organizational default selected on the Work in Process Parameters window. You can select another value for this pick release.
The grouping rule is used to group tasks based on the pick method. For example, if you select the Bulk Picking rule, all pick tasks for the same component item- across multiple work orders and operations - are picked. Rules are defined on the Pick Slip Grouping Rules window in Oracle Inventory. See: Pick Slip Grouping Rules
The Select All For Pickset box enables you to select, or deselect all Pickset check boxes.
The Print Pick Slips box is used to indicate if you want to print the Move Order Pick Slip Report, in Oracle Inventory as part of this component pick release. Check this box to enable printing, or deselect the box to disable it.
If you are using an Oracle Warehouse Management enabled organization, the Plan Tasks box displays the default on the Work in Process Parameters window. You can change this value.
This flag provides the option to plan tasks automatically or manually at the time of pick release.
If this check box is enabled, the system creates pick tasks in an Unreleased status. This option is used if you want to create the allocations, but postpone the dispatching. You can later choose the time to release the task. See: Component Pick Release Submit Requests Program
If this check box is not checked, tasks are created in a Pending status and are immediately eligible for dispatching.
To display detail windows of one of the records-expand the job or schedule node in the navigation tree, and select a record. Select the job or schedule to display the summary window.
The information on this window includes Job number, Description, Status, Assembly, Schedule Group Name, Build Sequence, Unit Number, job dates, Release Material flag, and Pick Set.
Select a component to display detail information on this item.
The detail window displays fields for Component, Description, Revision, Operation Sequence, Operation Code, Required Quantity, Quantity to Release, Back Order Quantity, Basis, Supply Type, and Required Date.
Additional Information: The Revision field is null unless you are using Inventory allocation rules, or Warehouse Management rules based picking to choose previous revisions.
Choose Release to perform the pick release process.
All jobs or schedules displayed in the tree are released. Move orders are generated for ecords where the Include in Release check box is unchecked.
Records are cleared using the Edit menu.
All records on the tree are released regardless of whether you choose Release from the summary or detail window. When the transaction is complete, the pane is displayed as blank.
Choose Cancel to end this transaction. Records are not updated, and the Find window displays again.
Over-Issuing Move Order Quantities:You can issue a quantity of a component greater than the total quantity allocated during previous runs of pick releases. This feature recognizes that material packing considerations, such as box and pallet sizes, may be difficult to break down. Material requirements and move orders are synchronized to account for these changes. The Transact Move Order window in Oracle Inventory is used to increase the quantity allocated. See: Allocating and Transacting Move Orders
Backordered Requirements:When you choose Release, the system creates move orders for the open component requirements. If the on-hand quantity does not meet requirements, or is already allocated, move orders are not created and an informational message displays. Backorders are created for these components. Backorders are filled when items are received (from purchase orders, completions, LPNs, and so forth).
If the allocation was partial, you can view the backorder quantity in the Component detail window.
If you are using Rules Based Picking, and the warehouse is enabled for cross docking, the WMS Rules engine checks for backorders and creates move orders to put material directly into the staging area.
Note: Backorders are not generated for flow schedules. Move orders are only generated when all quantities for the flow schedule components can be filled.
Multiple Generation of Pick Release :If you generate the pick release program on the same records multiple times, only open requirements are selected each subsequent time.
Discrete jobs, Lot Based jobs, and Repetitive schedules: New requirements are created only for items not moved to a job, or backordered.
Flow schedules: Since move orders are not generated for flow schedules with component shortages, you can run the pick release multiple times until the requirement is filled.
Cancelling Jobs and Schedules:When jobs and schedules are cancelled; all untransacted tasks and move orders associated with those work orders are cancelled. An API, WIP_PICKING_PVT.CANCEL_ALLOCATIONS, is used to select all open move orders to update their allocated and backflushed quantities. This procedure calls INV_MO_Cancel_PVT.Cancel_Move_Order_Line to cancel the corresponding move order lines. Material requirements and move orders are synchronized to account for move order line cancellations.
