The Job Release screen generates Job Pick Slips for SYSPRO Job Cards allocated for a job material requirement.

You will learn how to pick and release components within WMS for a SYSPRO Job Card allocated for a job material requirement. The process includes allocating the job material requirements and releasing a job picking slip or slips to have the material picked.

  • For WMS to assist with picking components, the Jobs must be created and confirmed in SYSPRO.  FASTTRACK WMS can only reserve and pick jobs that are non-kit issued. Therefore, the Kit issued status must be equal to No within SYSPRO. DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS, however, can support Kit issued jobs.

  • Start by verifying the SYSPRO Job in SYSPRO - Verify SYSPRO Job

  • Next, you can locate the Job number by typing it in the Job field in WMS

  • The detail of the job header will display in the screen's top section, and the components and their required Qty will be displayed on the data grid in red text

  • Components that are greyed out are already on a pick slip or are kit issued and, therefore, cannot be reserved from WMS. For more information, refer to Verify SYSPRO Jobs.

  • There are two ways to reserve TrackIDs:

    • 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

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

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

  • Once ready you can print the Job pick slip

    • Select the Confirm button in the bottom right corner of the screen

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

    • Once you have selected the printer a second pop-up will appear giving you the Pick Slip number

    • A second pop-up will appear asking you whether you want to pre-print Picking TrackID labels

Note: These labels are not used in the FASTTRACK WMS implementation, so you must select No.

  • 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

  • FASTTRACK WMS can only reserve and pick jobs that are non-kit issued. DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS can however reserve and pick kit issued jobs.

TECHNICAL

  • To print the Job Pick Slip ensure the System Settings are configured correctly. The JOB_PICKING setting under Settings/Printers must point to a physical printer.

  • If a component is flagged as a Kit Issue Item, and it must optionally be printed on a Job pick slip with other non-kit issued components from the same warehouse and System Setting must be updated. From the Ribbon bar, browse to System / System Settings and locate the DISPATCH System Name. Locate the PRINT_KIT_ISSUE_ITEMS setting value and update it to Y(es)

  • For Jobs with only Kit Issued items and no manually issued items (non-kit issued), a DATASCOPE WMS pick slip can be printed. These pick slips will not be assigned to be picked on the scanner and will immediately have a status of COMPLETED. It is only printed for documentation purposes to assist warehouse staff. A System Setting must be updated. From the Ribbon bar, browse to System / System Settings and locate the PICKING_JOB_ALLOCATION System Name. Locate the PRINT_KIT_ISSUE_ONLY_PICKSLIP setting value and update it to Y(es)

  • To indicate whether the unavailable raw material (stock code) can be replaced with ONLY alternative raw material (stock code) or with any other material (stock code) a System Setting must be configured. From the Ribbon bar, browse to Settings / System Settings and locate the PICKING_JOB_ALLOCATION System Setting. Locate the REPLACE_STOCK_OPTIONS SettingName and ensure the SettingValue is = Alternative. A drop-down with the alternate stock codes will display. If this is set to All then any other material (stock code) can be used as the replacement material. A stock code lookup will display.
