Dynamic picking

The pick method used to select items with dynamic picking for consolidated orders is different from picking for regular orders because the location you pick from is determined during consolidation. Typically, dynamic picking does not pre-determine the location from which to pick.

Because of this, there is a specific dynamic picking screen to use for consolidated picking.

To pick items that use dynamic picking when the orders are consolidated:

  1. From the RF device Main menu, select Picking. The Pick Menu (PM1) is displayed.
  2. From the Pick Menu, select Dynamic Pick. The Dynamic Pick (DAPM) menu is displayed.
  3. Select Consolidtd Pick. The Dynamic Pick (OP31) screen is displayed.

  4. Specify this information:
    From Loc
    This is the speed-pick location assigned during consolidation. This is not required. Specify, your current speed pick location for this type of pick processing.

    This information is optional. Use this information to limit the search results:

    Item
    Specify the item code for the item to pick.
    Priority
    Specify the priority of the order to pick. This ensures that you look for high priority orders first.
    Order
    Specify the shipment order number to pick.
    Uom
    Specify the unit of measure to pick.
    • C: Case
    • P: Pallet
    For case picks, specify C.
    Note: If the UOM is blank, picks are presented to the picker based on their permission(s) type(s). If the picker has permission for both case and pallets, it distributes the case picks first.
  5. Press F3 to open the View Items (OP31L) screen that displays a list of items that meet the specified criteria.

    This screen shows a list of items to pick from the current consolidated pick location. Each item and order priority combination is listed on a separate page. The list displays a summary of the total quantity to pick by order priority and item. This can help prioritize when you must pick a group of orders first.
