Assigning Pickers to Orders in a Manual Warehouse

When an order is ready for picking, assign a picker to the order prior to printing the pick ticket. When you print a pick ticket for an order, the following events occur:

  1. The on-hand quantity for the products ordered is deducted from the total inventory count.

  2. The order status changes from Open to Invoice.

  3. The customer's accounts receivable balance updates.

  4. The invoice moves from the future ledger to the inventory history ledger.

  5. The order print flag changes and now controls the billing process. If the order is open, the print flag identifies whether you want to print or fax an acknowledgement to the customer.

To assign a picker to an order:

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

  2. In the Ship To field, enter the order number to which you want to assign a picker.

  3. Use the Header hot key to display the order's Header screen.

  4. In the Picked By field, enter the user ID of the user to pick the order.

Note: You can only assign a picker if their home branch is the same as the shipping branch on the order. For more information about assigning a user's home branch, see Assigning Branches to Users.

  1. Press Esc until the system saves and closes the order.
