This module allows the warehouse controllers to review and release batch orders (pick slips) for manufacturing jobs into the warehouse in user-defined batches or waves (groups). The stock reservation process applies as per the Job Release module, but in this case, many Jobs are processed simultaneously.

These batches or waves are created by entering various user-defined filters into the selection window at the start of the process. For example, could you set the filters to only review jobs that have with a specific start and end date or that have a particular priority. ? All these user-defined filters work in tandem, so the user can enter a number of different several filters to find only the list of jobs required for release.

• For WMS to assist with picking components, the Jobs must be created and confirmed in SYSPRO.

• The process then consists of three steps:

  • Job selection by entering various filters. All filter selections are available on the left-hand side of the screen.

  • Select the Load to Grid option at the bottom of the filter options. This will load the selection in the data grid as entered in the various filters. The components that are greyed out are already on a pick slip and cannot be reserved again.

  • Reserve the stock to be added to a pick slip. This can be done in two ways:

    • Manually reserve TrackIDs for each component

      • Locate the stock code that you want to reserve

      • Look for the Reserve link by scrolling to the far right of the data grid

      • This will open the Reserve Tracking ID pop-up window, where you will see all the available TrackIDs and Qty’s in the warehouse that matches the warehouse of that component on the Job

      • TrackIDs in the grey text are still in Receiving Bins and, therefore, not available for picking

      • Click on the Reserve checkbox to automatically reserve the required Qty, which is visible at the top of the pop-up screen, from the TrackID selected

      • You can also edit the Qty manually if required

      • When completed with your manual selections, you can select the Reserve button at the bottom of the screen

      • The line will turn green if completely satisfied with Reserve

      • The End Reservation button in the bottom right corner will save your work, but not print a pick slip. This gives you the option to go back to the screen and make changes until you are ready to print the pick slip

    • Auto-reserve button

      • The Auto-Reserve button is located at the top right corner of the data grid.

      • If you click the Auto Reserve button, all existing manual reservations you made will be cleared, and the software will automatically allocate available stock

      • This Auto-reserve option will apply the logic of which auto-reservation rule has been selected under the Warehouse Settings. The Current Reservation Rule will be visible in the bottom left-hand corner of the data grid.

      • Once completed, the screen will refresh, and all lines that are 100% reserved will turn green

      • A pop-up might appear, asking whether you want to reserve the fully reserved Jobs and release them to a Pick Slip.

      • Select Yes

      • The Create Pick Slips screen willappear.

      • Jobs can be grouped and then released in batches. The data grid summing allows the

• • • • users to quickly evaluate which jobs to release based on the component fill rate.

• • • • Right-click on a line and select Release Orders in Group. This will ensure that each order’s picking slip has the same Master shipment number.

• • • • If the grouping is undone, a single order can be selected

• • • • , by right

• • • • -click and select Release this Order.

      • Select Confirm. This will confirm the reservation and print the Job pick slip(s).

      • A printer pop-up will appear, asking you to which printer you want to print to.

      • You also have the option to clear your current reservation by selecting the Clear Reservation button

    • Confirm the Reservations and print the Job pick slips

      • Once you have selected Confirm on the Create Pick Slips screen (mentioned above) the data grid will update with a green tick mark, indicating whether the pick slip(s) have been printed. If any issues are picked up, a message will appear in the Message field in the data grid.

• Once the pick slip has been printed, you will also be able to view the pick slip on the Pick Slip Review screen.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Custom Auto Reservation rules can be developed, if required. Please contact your local DSP (Datascope Solution Provider) for assistance.
