Broken case picking
To reduce travel, parameter 2111, Partial Primary UOM Pick, may be set to Yes. If so, then a picker can to break a carton in a full case primary location and remove individual units to fill an order line. The individual unit is EACH.
For example, a case contains 20 units, and 5 cases are in the full-case primary location. No units are in the split-case primary location or overstock location. The quantity ordered is 25, and the picker is directed to the full-case location. Because a case contains 20 and the entire quantity to pick is 25, the picker must break a case. The picker must remove 5 units to complete the pick request. This table shows the condition, and the number resulting for a full case, split case, and overstock:
Condition | Full Case | Split Case | Overstock |
---|---|---|---|
Beginning quantity | 5 cases of 20 | 0 | 0 |
Pick request | 25 units | 0 | 0 |
Quantity remaining in location | 3 full cases of 20 | ||
15 units from broken case | 0 | 0 |
After the type of location is selected in Order Drop Manager and sent to the picker, the wave data is transmitted to the RF units. The maximum wave number is 9,999,999.
