This process allows users to create WMS picking slips for SYSPROSales Orders in Backorder or In Reserve status. This status will depend on what type of business process you've taken.
This screen expects a single order review at a time. This differs from the Sales Order Wave Release function, where many orders are reviewed simultaneously.
Type the Sales Order number in the Sales Order field or select the browse icon to search for the Sales Order
The Sales Order header information will populate, and the data grid will load with the stock code information received from SYSPRO (Items highlighted in red are unreserved or not completely reserved)
You will be able to see the stock available in any Pick face bin and bulk bin, refer to the Available Qty column, as well as any quantities that are reserved from either pick face or bulk bin, refer to the Reserved Qty Pickface and Reserved Qty Bulk columns
You have two options to reserve the stock, either by selecting the Auto Reserve button or by Manually reserving the stock
Auto Reserve
When selecting the Auto Reserve button in the top-right-hand corner, the system will do what it can with the available stock (Fully satisfied reserved stock will show green in the data grid while leaving the partially or totally unsatisfied lines in red). You can review what the software did by scrolling to the far right on the data grid and clicking on the Reserve link
Lines that are grey on the Reserve pop-up screen are stock that is unavailable for reservation as the TrackID is still in a Receiving Bin location in the warehouse and must first be put away
The auto-reserved TrackIDs will show as selected with tick boxes that are checked
You can edit the Reserved Qty column
You are also able to select and reserve from another TrackID, by checking the checkbox and updating the Reserved Qty column
Click on the Reserve button to save your changes
Ensure all stock has been reserved and is highlighted in green
Select the Confirm button to print the pick slip
The Printer pop-up will appear to select a printer
A pick slip number will also appear on the screen
Note: You can save your reservation by selecting the End Reservation button. This will leave the quantities on the selected TrackIDs as reserved and render them unavailable for other Sales Orders, for the Sales Order you are busy with.
Note: You can also cancel the current reservations by selecting the Clear Reservations button
Reservation Rules
When using the Auto reservation function within the sales order releasing screens the software can be set to reference a predefined auto reservation rule or can be set to run a custom developed reservation. The custom rule allows a company to become very creative in what inventory should be reserved for an order and in what sequence. For instance a custom rule could validate the Sales Order Type field and based on this could run a completely different reservation process.
The following list describes all of the standard reservation rules and their logic:
- Rule 1 - Pack from Bulk then Pick face
- Rule 2 - Smallest Absolute Variance
- Rule 3 - Exact from Pick face
- Rule 4 - Pick face (if configured) then Bulk
- Rule 5 - Bulk/Pick face Optimized
- Rule 6 - Reserve from Pick face, if cannot, then reserve from bulk
- Rule 7 - Pan size reservation (used for WIP Jobs only)
- Rule 8 - Voice picking / Carton Cubing
- Rule 9 - MHE (Material Handling Equipment)
- Rule 10 - Not in Use
- Rule 11 - FIFO Lot / Expiry Date
- Rule 12 - Consolidated Sequencing
Customers can also create custom reservation rules. For more information, refer to Plugin Customization
SPECIAL FEATURES
The software can be set to release the printing slip/s without printing or release the picking slip/s with automated printing turned on. If the picking slip is not printed here it can be printed from the Load Planning module.
All orders released are automatically linked to an MSN number (Master Shipment Number). Grouped orders going to the same customer and released in a batch from the Wave Release screen will have the same MSN. At checkout and dispatch these picking slips can be grouped together for shipment.
