When picking orders, you can increase ordered quantities to match product package quantities.
For example, a receiving branch places an order for eight widgets. Your warehouse stocks the widgets in packages of 10. Instead of breaking the package apart to send only eight widgets, you can increase the pick quantity to 10 while performing the pick and send all 10 widgets.
Following are the authorizations needing to be set for this functionality:
Define whether users can increase picking quantities for products within a price line.
Define whether users can increase picking quantities for customers.
Assign the RF.PICK.QTY.INCREASE authorization key to users whom you want to be able to increase pick quantities.
Level 1 - The user can increase the picking quantity only if both the product and customer are defined for quantity increases.
Level 2 - The user can increase the picking quantity if the product is defined for quantity increases, even if the customer is not defined for quantity increases.
Level 3 - The user can increase the picking quantity if the customer is defined for quantity increases, even if the product is not defined for quantity increases.
Level 4 - The users can increase picking quantity regardless of whether the product or customer are defined for quantity increases.
Note: If you increase pick quantity for a transfer order, the system increases the shipped quantity on the transfer's receiving generation.
To increase pick quantities to match package quantities:
From the Warehouse Management > RF Applications > RF Main Menu, select Picking to display the Pick In Process screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
In the Qty field, look to see if you are authorized to increase quantity:
If Qty displays with a plus (+) sign, you can increase the pick quantity.
If Qty displays with a highlighted plus (+) sign, the system is warning you that either the product or the customer is not defined for the quantity increase, but you have authorization to increase quantity, as needed.
If Qty displays without a plus (+) sign, neither the product nor the customer is defined for the quantity increase. You cannot increase quantity.
Note: If you cannot increase quantity, the system prompts you with the reason why - either the customer or the product is not defined for the quantity increase, and you do not have the correct authorization. To override this prompt, either have the correct authorization assigned to you or find another user with the correct authorization. Users with the correct authorization can enter their user ID and password to override the prompt.
If you are authorized to increase quantity to the package amount, enter the package quantity.
Note: If the quantity increase exceeds the customer's credit limit and you are authorized to exceed the customer credit limit, the system prompts you to indicate whether to proceed. Enter Y at the prompt.
