Assigning Pick Locations in a Manual Warehouse

The system assigns a pick location for sales orders using the pick allocation logic set up in the Inventory Allocation Method control maintenance record. If pick allocation logic is not set up in this control maintenance record, the system assigns pick locations using automated pick allocation logic based on warehouse locations defined in Product Location Maintenance.

You can manually override system-assigned pick locations from the order. Use this topic to complete the following tasks:

• Assign split (multiple) pick locations for a product.

• Assign a single location for a product.

To assign multiple pick locations for an ordered product:

1. From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry screen.

2. Create a new sales order or access an existing sales order.

3. From the sales order's Body screen, use the Sched hot key to display the Scheduling screen.

4. Place your cursor on the line that has the ship date for which you want to assign multiple pick locations.

5. Use the Splt Locs hot key to display the Split Locations screen.

6. In the Location field, enter the product location from which you want to pick.

7. In the Quantity field on the same line, indicate how much to pick from that location.

For example, if you want to pick 100 feet from W2 and 150 feet from W1, enter W2 in the Location field and 100 in the Quantity field. Move your cursor to a new line and enter W1 in the Location field and 150 in the Quantity field.

8. Repeat for each location.

9. Press Esc to return to the Scheduling screen.

The screen now contains multiple lines, one for each location you identified with the quantity to pick from that location.

10. Press Esc to save the location changes.

11. Press Esc again until you exit the order.

To assign a single pick location for an ordered product:

1. From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry screen.

2. Create a new sales order or access an existing sales order.

3. From the sales order's Body screen, use the Sched hot key to display the Scheduling screen.

4. Place your cursor on the line that has the ship date for which you want to assign the pick location.

5. In the Location/Tag/Lot field, enter the warehouse location from which to pick that quantity.

6. Press Esc to save the location changes.

7. Press Esc again until you exit the order.
