The concurrent program is a way to bulk tasks after creation across pick waves. If the pick release batch size is small then the current request program will be the most suitable option. The program will first examine the input parameter criteria, which is restriction criteria for what is suitable for bulk picking. The hard coded restriction criteria is that material has to be in a status of unreleased, should not have been released with a status of order picking and should not be cartonized. The following table outlines the concurrent request program input parameters:
Navigate to the submit requests window.
Select Oracle Warehouse Management Bulk Tasks Generation as the request type.
Enter the following parameters:
Organization-The user may select any Oracle Warehouse Management enabled organization from where the units of work will be grouped together
Move Order (From) / Move Order (To)- The move order range will allow users to specify a from and to move order number. The move order number corresponds to the batch number for pick release.
Pick Release Date (From) / Pick Release Date (To)- This allows the user to specify the date range of when material was pick released. Thus the user may want to request that all orders that were pick released today can be batched together.
Pick From Subinventory- This is the subinventory from where material is allocated. If the user specifies a subinventory, then only material allocated from that subinventory is examined for bulk picking.
Item- If filled in, then only this particular item will be examined by the bulk picking grouping logic.
Delivery- This restricts the delivery that is examined for grouping.
Trip- This restricts the trip that is examined for grouping. Note that the trip and delivery are independent variables as part of this report.
Only bulk enabled items / subinventories- If marked with YES, then only items and subinventories that are bulk pick enabled will be contenders for bulking. If NO, then all items and subinventories are possible targets.
Submit the request.
