Overall Process Flow

Overall Process Flow

The WMS Pick process supports the pick process in the warehouse based on a Warehouse Pick document generated beforehand in Business Central. After the selection of a Warehouse Pick document the Warehouse Pick Header is updated, including the user ID of the mobile user as Assigned User.

Next, for each item to pick the item code is entered. Optionally, depending on the location setup, a bin has to be put in based upon the available bin inventory.

Next, the quantity to pick is entered. This quantity is added to the already handled quantity and then compared with the ordered quantity. If the quantity to pick plus the handled quantity plus the outstanding quantity exceeds the ordered quantity, an error message will be displayed.

After accepting the quantity to pick the Warehouse Pick line is updated. Optionally a lot number or serial number can be entered if the item is lot/serial-controlled.

Finally, the pick document is registered and the related Warehouse Shipment is updated as well.
