Use the Pick Load Page Setup window to create templates that define configurations for the mobile pick load pages. The parameters on the pick load template control the behavior of the fields and buttons on the mobile pick load pages. You can set different levels of control for each of the fields as well as customize the page to a location or user. You can set different display and confirmation control for serial controlled items and non-serial controlled items so you can avoid unnecessary data confirmation. You can customize the Order Information page to display the information you need, and retrieve any fields from the database.
The Pick Load Setup Page window also contains default system templates. You may choose to use these templates, create your own templates, or modify existing templates. The Pick Load Page Setup window contains the following default templates:
Express Load: Default express load configuration
Express Pick: Default express pick load and drop configuration
Default Configuration: Default pick load configuration
Navigate to the Pick Load Page Setup window.
Enter a name for the template in the Name field.
Enter a template description in the Description field.
Optionally, select Common to all Orgs to enable this template for all organizations.
Optionally, select Enabled to enable this template.
Select the display properties for the general fields. The available fields are as follows:
Display only, no confirmation: Displays the field on the page, but does not require you to confirm the field.
Hide fields: The field does not display on the page.
Show both fields Confirm second with no LOV: Displays both fields and requires you to confirm the second field, but does not have an associated LOV. An example of this is the Subinventory and the Subinventory Confirm field. If you choose this option the subinventory displays as well as the subinventory confirm field. You must confirm the subinventory, but you cannot select it from a list of values.
Show both fields Confirm second with LOV: Displays both fields and requires you to confirm the second field, but allows you to pick the confirmation value from the list and LOV. An example of this would is the locator field and locator confirm field. If you choose this option the locator displays as well as the locator confirm field. You may either enter the locator, or select it from the LOV.
Single line input with no LOV value default: Allows you to enter a single line of information, but does not have an associated LOV.
The following table lists the available configurations:
Configurations
| Field | Display Only, no confirmation | Hide Fields | Show both fields Confirm second with no LOV | Show both fields Confirm second with LOV | Single line input with no LOV, value default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Container | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |

| Requested Quantity | Yes | No | Yes | No | No |
| Container | No | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Lot | Yes | Serial only | No | Yes | No |
Select the LPN Fields tab. The information you enter on the LPN Fields tab determines how the system retrieves, transfers, nests, and transacts the material on the Mobile Pick Load page. You can set different configurations for loose picks and fully consumable LPN scans. (A fully consumable LPN is an LPN that is entirely consumable by a pick.) Whereas, if an LPN is partially consumed, material remains in the LPN. The fields are as follows:
WMS_REM_LPN: The remaining LPN.
WMS_LAST_LPN: The last LPN.
Transfer LPN: Transfers the contents of the LPN to another LPN.
Into LPN: Nests the LPN within the into LPN.
PALLET_LPN: The outer LPN for all cases for which a task type with honor case pick enabled.
Note: The Transfer LPN field and the Into LPN field cannot be visible at the same time.
The following table lists the main fields, and the available choices.
| Field | Display only no confirmation | Hide fields | Show both fields Confirm second with no LOV | Single line input with no LOV, value defaulted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transfer LPN | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Into LPN | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| PALLET_LPN | No | Yes | No | Yes |
Select the Buttons tab to define the button behavior on the mobile device. You can choose the button display order, as well as hide the buttons from view. The available choices are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80. The button with the lowest number appears first on the mobile device. Select the Visible check box if you want the button to appear on the mobile device. The available buttons are:
<Load>
<Load and Pass>
<Pass>
<Load and Drop>
<Attachment>
<Exception>
<Skip Task>
<Info>
<Shipping Instructions> (hidden by default)
<Packing Instructions> (hidden by default)
<Task Group> (hidden by default)
Select the Page Level tab. This tab enables you to control the behavior of attachments, catch weight, and exceptions when picking partial lot quantities.
Select the Show Attachments display option. The available choices are:
Always: The attachment button always appears
By Request: The attachment button appears by request
Never: The attachment buttons never appears
Select the Catch Weight Entry and Field Behavior. The available choices are:
Additional Information: This setting is not applicable when the fulfillment base is Secondary. For secondary based fulfillment, catch weight entry is not supported on the Pick Load page. Instead, you must navigate to the Catch Weight mobile page after the pick load to record the catch weight.
Hide: Catch weight entry is hidden
Mandatory: Catch weight entry is mandatory
Optional: Catch weight entry is optional
Select the Bypass Exception When Picking Partial Lot Quantity behavior. The available choices are:
No: Prompts for an exception when you try to pick a partial amount of the task, this facilitates picking lots out of order.
Yes: Does not prompt for the exception when you try to pick a partial amount of the task.
Select the Allow Negative Balance behavior. The available choices are:
No: Does not allow you to pick a quantity that is greater than the quantity that exists in the location.
Yes: Allows you to pick a quantity that is greater than the quantity that exists in the location.
Attention: The system will not consume any reservation or allocation if Allow Negative Balance is selected.
Select the Show Task Quantity in Pick UOM behavior. The available choices are:
No: Displays the task quantity in the default item UOM. For example, if the default UOM is each and the task UOM is box, then the system displays the task quantity in eaches.
Yes: Displays the task quantity in the pick UOM. For example, if the default UOM is each and the task UOM is box, then the system displays the task quantity in boxes.
Select the Allow Over Pick without Exception behavior. The available choices are:
Note: The allow overpick without exception option is not supported for serial-controlled items.
No: Requires you to enter a task exception when you pick more than the requested quantity of an item for a task that is within shipment tolerance.
Yes: Does not require you to enter a task exception when you pick more than the requested quantity of an item for a task that is within the shipment tolerance.
Additional Information: For tasks with lot controlled items: The Pick Load page can be set up so that the From LPN defaults as the Transfer LPN when you pick the full LPN quantity. If you raise an overpick exception and pick the entire contents of the LPN, then the transfer LPN is defaulted as the picking LPN.
This option saves picking time because the pickers do not have to perform extra scans. To enable this setup, you need to add the DEFAULT_PICK_TOLPN=YES to the form function parameters of the Pick Load page. For more information, see Oracle Warehouse Management Implementation Guide, Form Function Parameters.
Select the Allow Under Pick without Exception behavior. The available choices are:
No: Requires you to enter a task exception when you pick less than the requested quantity of an item for a task that is within shipment tolerance.
Yes: Does not require you to enter a task exception when you pick less than the requested quantity of an item for a task that is within the shipment tolerance.
Note: Oracle Warehouse Management does not check shipment tolerances until ship confirm for items that you under pick.
Select the Display Picked Quantities in Secondary UOM. The available choices are:
Attention: This setting is not applicable when the fulfillment base is Secondary. For secondary based fulfillment, picks are always done in the secondary quantity. The user has the option of changing the UOM to another UOM in the same class as the secondary UOM. The user does not enter the primary quantity on the Pick Load page. The primary quantity is adjusted after pick load, using the Catch Weight mobile page.
Always: Always displays the picked quantities of an item in the secondary UOM if the item is dual UOM controlled.
Never: Does not display the picked quantities of an item in the secondary UOM.
Enterable Only: Enables you to enter the picked quantity of an item in the secondary UOM if the item is dual UOM controlled.
If you choose to display the secondary quantity, then the requested quantity field on the General Fields tab controls the behavior of secondary quantities as well. If the item is under dual UOM control, then the system retrieves the value of the Display Picked Quantities in Secondary UOM field. If the value is Always or Enterable, then the system checks the value of the requested quantity field. The Requested Quantity field determines whether you need to confirm the secondary quantity field, or whether the system displays it. If the item is tracked in the primary UOM and priced in the secondary UOM, then the catch weight fields control the display fields. If the item is tracked in both units of measure, then the Display Picked Quantities in Secondary UOM field takes precedence.
Select the Hide "Load and Drop" Button until Last Task behavior:
Note: You must enable the Load and Drop button to set values for this field.
Yes: The Load and Drop button will not be displayed until the last task of the picking group is complete.
No: The Load and Drop button appears for all picking tasks. (The default value is No.)
Note: You need to first enable the Load and Drop button before it can be hidden.
Select the Hide "Load" Button On Last Task behavior:
The Hide "Load" button on Last Task field shows the user that the last task for the picking group has been reached. This value works in tandem with the Hide Load and Drop Button until Last Task field and should be set accordingly.
Yes: The Load button will not appear on the mobile device if it is the last task of the pick grouping.
No: The Load button appears on the mobile device even if it is the last task of the pick grouping. (The default value is No.)
Note: You must enable the Load button to set values for this field.
Select the Allow Lot substitution without exception behavior:
Yes: You can enter a substitute lot during picking without raising an exception.
No: If you enter a substitute lot during picking, an exception is raised.
During picking, you can select an alternative lot for the item. Although the system does not re-run the picking rules for this process, it does honor existing allocations and lot reservations. You cannot select a lot for which allocations and previous reservations exist.
Attention: The Allow Lot substitution without exception setting applies to changing or substituting lots not LPNs.
If the LPN is allocated, you need to change the LPN (the allocated LPN by raising an LPN Exception) and then substitute the lot on the Item Details page. After the LPN is changed, then the Allow Lot substitution without exception setting is applicable to the transaction.
To substitute the lot from a different LPN (other than from the allocated lot), you need to consider the Allow Lot substitution without exception parameter settings on the Pick Load Page Setup template. Raising an LPN Exception and the parameter Allow Lot substitution without exception are different concepts but work in conjunction as described in the following table:
| LPN Based Allocation | If the allocation mode is set to allocate the LPN for a task, and you want to pick from a different LPN, you need to raise a Change LPN Exception.
Note: The allocation mode is assigned in the Allocation Mode field on the WMS Rules window. When the LPN is changed, the system validates the LPN by evaluating the setting selected for the Allow Lot substitution without exception parameter:
|
| Non LPN Based Allocation | If the allocation mode setting does not allocate LPNs to the task (and the allocation is only at Lot level) then you do not have to raise a Change LPN Exception. However, the following parameter settings impact the allocation:
