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 Methodcontrol 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.

Note: You can automatically assign lot numbers when receiving, if needed.

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

Assigning multiple pick locations for a product.
Assigning a single location for a product.

To assign multiple pick locations for an ordered product:

From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry window.
Create a new sales order or access an existing sales order.
Place your cursor on the line that has the ship date for which you want to assign multiple pick locations.
From the Line Item menu, select Schedule to display the Line Item Scheduling window.
From the Edit menu, select Split Locations to display the Split Locations window.
In the Location field, enter the product location from which you want to pick.
In the Qty 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 Qty field. Move your cursor to a new line and enter W1 in the Location field and 150 in the Qty field.

Repeat for each location.
Save your changes and return to the Scheduling window.

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

Save the location changes.
Save the order and exit the window.

To assign a single pick location for an ordered product:

From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry window.
Create a new sales order or access an existing sales order.
Place your cursor on the line that has the ship date for which you want to assign multiple pick locations.
From the Line Item menu, select Schedule to display the Line Item Scheduling window.
Place your cursor on the line that has the ship date for which you want to assign the pick location.
In the Location/Tag/Lot field, enter the warehouse location from which to pick that quantity.
Save the order and exit the window.
