To define pick release parameters:You can define default picking criteria that is used at pick release. You can also select the default settings for auto-detailing and auto-creating deliveries.
To define pick release parameters:Navigate to the Shipping Parameters window.
Select the Pick Release tab.
Select the Release Sequence Rule.
During pick release, this rule determines the order in which delivery lines are allocated to inventory. It appears as the default release sequence rule in the Release Sales Order window.
Note: It is recommended that you select the most frequently used release sequence rule; although it becomes the default, you can change it any time you launch pick release.
Select the Pick Slip Grouping Rule.
This rule dictates how the released delivery lines are grouped on pick slips and how the pick slip number is generated by pick release. It appears as the default pick slip grouping rule in the Release Sales Order form.
Note: It is recommended that you select the most frequently used pick slip grouping rule; although it becomes the default, you can change it any time you launch pick release.
From the Print Pick Slip list of values, select when you want the pick slips printed.
If you select At the End, pick slips will be generated when the pick release process has completed.
If you select Immediate, you specify the number of lines per pick slip. Whenever this threshold is reached, a pick slip document is submitted for printing. Every time the threshold is reached, another pick slip document will be submitted for printing. This continues until all lines meeting the release criteria for a batch have been pick released. For example, if there are 20 custom defined lines, all pick slips belonging to these 20 lines are printed in a single pick slip report. The number of pick slips printed depends on the pick slip grouping rule and the custom defined lines. This choice has more impact on system resources.
Enter the Number of Pick Slip Lines to print on each pick slip.
If Print Pick Slip is Immediate, enter the maximum Number of Pick Slip Lines to print on each pick slip. For example, if Number of Pick Slip Lines is 25 and pick release selects 40 lines, it prints two pick slips, one with 25 lines and the other with 15 lines.
Select the Default Pick Release Document set to be printed at pick release.
Select the Default Stage Subinventory.
The process of Pick Confirmation transfers move orders to this staging subinventory. The list of values displays all subinventories in the organization. Staging subinventories should be reservable.
Select the Default Stage Locator.
Move orders move material to this locator. The list of values displays all locators in the Default Stage Subinventory.
Select the Autocreate Deliveries option to specify your preference for delivery creation. You can override this preference at pick release execution.
Selected: Pick release automatically creates deliveries based on the delivery grouping rules and assigns delivery lines to them. When pick releasing, the Autocreate Deliveries check box in the pick release form defaults to this parameter setting if you enter a warehouse. If you do not enter a warehouse, pick release uses this parameter setting from the organization of the warehouse on each sales order line.
Cleared: Pick release does not automatically create deliveries.
Note: There are six descriptive flex field defaulting types supported when auto-creating deliveries: SQL Statement (Not having references to:$FLEX$.<VALUE_SET_NAME> and:block.field), Constant, Current Date, Current Time, Previous Segment, and Profile Option value.
Select Auto Allocate to automatically allocate delivery lines at pick release.
Selected: Pick release creates move orders and automatically allocates them.
Cleared: Pick release creates move orders. You must manually allocate the order lines using the Inventory Transact Move Orders window.
Select Enforce Ship Sets and Ship Models to enforce that all lines in the Ship Set or Ship Model are released together.
If you do not select the Enforce Ship Sets and Ship Model's check box, delivery lines for ship sets and ship models are not validated during picking even if the ship set is specified on order lines.
Note: Depending on your business needs, you must set up the Enforce Ship Sets and Ship Models parameter for each warehouse.
If you select the Enforce Ship Sets and Ship Models check box, delivery lines for ship sets and ship models are validated during picking. All order lines in ship sets are either released completely or auto-backordered during pick release. If any portion is not available, then all lines in the entire ship set are backordered.
When you create the order, you must specify if you want to retain (or not retain) the ship set for the back-ordered lines. You can do this in the Sales Order window in Order Management.
Note: Ship sets for non-transactable delivery lines are validated during ship confirm. However, a ship set for non-transactable delivery lines is not validated during pick release because the item(s) are not picked from inventory.
