ANY Process Demo: WMS Pick - Prerequisites

In this demo script a Released Sales Order will be used as source document for a Warehouse Shipment, and so also for a Warehouse Pick. This released sales order needs to be created before the use of the WMS Pick pre-configured processes.

In order to be able to pick and ship some inventory available to pick and also for lots and serials, it is recommended to execute the demo scripts for the next pre-configured processes first:
WMS Receipt
WMS Put Away

Sales order and shipment

On the Warehouse Put-away lines, the field Qty. to Handle is automatically filled by Business Central. These quantities need to be filled in through the reconfigured process, therefore these need to be set to zero.

  1. Go to the Sales Orders page.

  2. Create a new sales order for customer 10000, The Cannon Group PLC.

Create Sales order

  1. Under the Shipping & Billing fast tab, enter WHITE as location code and add a shipment date.

Shipping & Billing

  1. Now, enter the following items as order lines. Make sure that location code is WHITE.
Item No. Quantity
FF-100 15
80216-T (as lot controlled item) 35
80102-T (as a serial-controller item) 2

Items

The assignment of specific lots to a lot-controlled item can be done in two ways in Business Central:

  • During order-entry after sales order creation
  • During the pick process

In this demo script option 2 is described. In case option 1 shall be implemented, use the Ctrl+Shift+I action or Line > Related Information > Item Tracking Lines at the sales order line in order to assign one or more specific lots and serial nos.

  1. Release the sales order and create the warehouse shipment using the action Actions > Warehouse > Create Warehouse Shipment.

Create warehouse shipment

  1. Open the newly created warehouse shipment document by going to the Warehouse Shipments page and opening document created.

  2. In the lines part, add the following fields after the Description field using personalization.

    • Location Code
    • Zone Code
    • Bin Code

Personalize

Move Inventory

In the demo company Cronus International Ltd. the available inventory to pick is not enough in order to get the sales order shipped.

After execution of the WMS Receipt and WMS Put-away processes, there is still not enough available inventory to pick for the items entered at the sales order. That’s why we need to check and eventually move some inventory or make a stock correction.

  1. Go to the Bin Contents page.

  2. Add the following filters:

Field Filter
Location Code WHITE
Zone Code PICK
Item No. FF-100|80216-T|80102-T

Check bin contents

  1. Confirm that there is enough inventory for all items by checking the Available Qty. to Take field. In this case, there are no FF-100 entries in this zone but they exist in the BULK zone. You can check this by changing the Zone code filter to BULK.

BULK Zone

  1. Inventory should be moved to the PICK zone, either by executing the Move Inventory pre-configured process or by executing the following steps in Business Central.

  2. Open the Warehouse Reclassification Journals page and enter a line for item FF-100 and move 15 PCS of inventory from BULK to PICK. Finally, register the journal.

Move to PICK

  1. Back in Bin Contents, the new inventory can be seen in the PICK zone.

Move to PICK

Create Warehouse Pick

In this demo script a Warehouse Pick needs to be created before the use of the WMS Pick pre-configured process.

  1. Go to the Warehouse Shipments page and open the warehouse shipment document again.

  2. Click on the action Process > Create Pick.

Create Pick

  1. In the popup, make sure that Do Not Fill Qty. to Handle is turned on. In the Warehouse Pick lines normally the field Qty. to Handle is automatically filled. These quantities need to be filled in through the pre-configured process and not by this pick creation process in Business Central. Click OK.

Do not fill Qty. to Handle

  1. Go to the Warehouse Picks page and open the new pick document. Using personalization, add Lot No., Serial No. and Location code after the description field in the lines section. Note that for every item there are two lines with action type take and place. For Serial tracked items every serial number has its own set of lines.
