Assign Pick Slips to a MSN (Master Shipment Number)
- DATASCOPE WMS
Order Release / Pick Slip Release / Maintain Master Shipments [PIK003]
Stands for Master Shipment Number is a sequential number that WMS automatically generates for every pick slip. This number will be printed on the physical pick slip document and used for the MSN Grocery Checkout process. Typically, only one MSN number is created per pick slip. However, multiple pick slips can be added to one MSN number to allow a user to pick multiple pick slips at once.
Typically, this screen has three main functions:
to allow a user to enter a TrackID against an MSN
to allow users to add or remove a Pick slip to an existing MSN
to allow a user to create an MSN for a pick slip that does not have an MSN
to allow a user to create a new MSN for an SCT order.

A validation step will check whether the customer of the new pick slip matches the customers of the other pick slips already on MSN.
If the validation fails, a pop-up will appear.
If Yes the pick slip will still be added to the MSN.
If the additional Pick Slip Number is already linked to another MSN, a pop-up message will appear warning the user that the pick slip will be moved from one MSN to another.
This process will link multiple pick slips to the same MSN number. If you refresh the Pick Slip Review screen, you will notice that the pick slip has moved to the new MSN.
This process can be followed for multiple pick slips you want to pick (using the HTML5 Sales Order MSN Picking screen) and/or check out (using the PC-based MSN Grocery Checkout module) together.
You can invoice these pick slips on the same MSN using the MSN Final Invoice Post screen.
