Picking refers to the process within a warehouse where individual items are picked from a location (either a bin or pick face) to satisfy a customer order or sales order. Within DATASCOPE WMS we have multiple picking strategies.

Review the data
All pick slip data is visible on the Pick Slip Review screen. This is the main management front-end from where warehouses would review picks running within the warehouse. The overview here is useful to watch the flow through the warehouse, identify bottlenecks and apply pressure where required.
If you have the Pick Slip Review screen open and you already applied all the necessary filters to view the stock codes you are interested in, you can right-click on the order you want to pick and view the Reservations by selecting View Reservations. This screen will show what was reserved for that specific order
Here you will see whether it is a multiple stock code pick slip, whether there are lot traceable or non-lot traceable items and the Qty to be picked
Start picking stock using the Sales Pick to Pick Slip HTML5 screen
To open the HTML 5 scanner-based window from the PC, go to the Ribbon Bar and select Launch HTML 5. This will open the HTML 5 sub-menu
Click on the Launch HTML 5 icon.
Your HTML 5 scanner window will load.
From the lookup icon you can search for Sales Pick to Pick Slip
| Info |
|---|
Note: Notice that there are multiple picking options on the scanner. |
The operator will start with the picking by first looking at his pick slip printout. This is a physically printed copy of the pick slip, or it can be printed on a little sticker to give to the operator/picker.
| Info |
|---|
Note: Generally, when it is printed on a sticker the picking information doesn’t display, but when it is printed on paper all the necessary picking information is visible. |
| Info |
|---|
Notice that the printed pick slip is also barcoded in the top right-hand corner. Pickers will usually scan this when they want to assign a pick slip to themselves. |
Next you will start picking your pick slip. Again, this will be done on the physical floor with a scanner and the pick slip in your hand
Ensure your HTML 5 scanner-based screen is open
Notice that this screen is broken down into multiple TABS, starting with Assign. This is used when the logged-in user assigns the pick slip to himself. The barcode, in the top right-hand corner of the physical pick slip, will be scanned with the scanner to start the process. This will automatically populate the screen with the pick slip number
| Info |
|---|
Note: The pick slip number will always have the following format: PickslipNumber+Warehouse (example: 1010+RM) |
Select Next to go to the next TAB
The Slips TAB gives a list of all the assigned pick slips to the logged-in user
Select the pick slip that you want to pick and then select Next to go to the next TAB
The Items TAB will open which will give you a summary of all the Bins, Tracking IDs, stock codes, and Qty that are on the pick slip. You can also see in the Scanned column how many you have scanned to date. This is all for information purposes
Select an item that you want to pick and select Next to go to the Pick TAB
The Pick TAB will open. This is the main picking screen that explains what Sugg Tracking ID, stock code, and quantity the picker must fetch. In the blue section, the picker can see the stock code and description of the item. It also indicates whether it is a Lot traceable item or not
| Info |
|---|
If Serial scanning is also required and has been configured within SYSPRO, an additional field will be visible under Quantity, called Serial. The Serial number on the Serial Label must then also be scanned. The user will have to scan a serial number for each unit of stock code being picked. For example, if Qty is 15, the user will have to scan 15 Serial numbers, and the scanned quantity will increase. Once all 15 serials have been entered it will automatically Post the stock code. For more information on Serials and Serial Scanning, refer to Serial Scanning. |
The picker will then physically go to the Sugg Bin and scan the TrackID; you can also type it into the TrackID field. If you TAB off the field the rest of the fields will auto-populate
If DATASCOPE WMS has been setup to scan serials, then the Custom Form Field (created in SYSPRO) will also be visible on this screen, and the Qty field will be disabled. This field would not normally be visible on this screen.
The picker will see at the top of the screen what the Qty is that must be picked, and this must be updated in the Quantity field
| Info |
|---|
The user will then have to scan a serial for each unit of stock code being picked. The Qty will then automatically increase as the user scans the Serials. Once all the Serials have been entered the system will automatically post the stock code. Note that this is only applicable if SYSPRO and DATASCOPE WMS has been setup to scan serials. |
For a Lot traceable stock code, the Lot Number field will be set to the Lot number displayed in the blue section. If the TrackID has multiple Lots on it, then you will have to select the Lot by clicking on the Lot Number field drop-down
Select Post to indicate that the item has been picked. The screen will automatically load to the next item on the pick slip to be picked
| Info |
|---|
Note: The order of the items to be picked will appear in the Bin Number sequence. |
Once all the items on the pick slip have been picked, the scanner will automatically go to the Confirm TAB, where you will see a summary of all the items that have been picked
Notice the color codes on the Confirm TAB
Red – Over/Under Outside Tolerance
Orange – Over/Under Within Tolerance
Green – Exactly Satisfied
| Info |
|---|
Note: There are numerous permissions and securities around all these transactions. Therefore, if your company does not allow Over/Under picking it can be configured on a per-user level. |
If you are satisfied with your pick, you select Confirm. The software will then complete the pick and update the status of the pick slip to Picked
You can go back to your Pick Slip Review screen. Right-click on your order and View the Reservations. The Picked Qty column will be updated, and a Picking Track ID will be added (which consists of the picking ID plus the warehouse code) which is a system-generated ID. The software will automatically move the stock from the picking Bin to the Picking Track ID
You can also go back and view the Pick Slip Status History
The pick slip is now ready for the checkout process. For more information on the checkout process refer to Scanner-based (HTML 5) Check Out Put Away
