Overview

The Wave workbench enables you to group orders together to more effectively manage a wave. You can then perform certain functions on a wave, such as consolidate, mass update, allocate inventory, and release picks. To build this wave, various selection criteria can be used to search for orders that are to be grouped together.

The selection criteria can be created using either a regular query or a graphical query. The selection criteria can also be saved and quickly re-used to create the wave. For example, you can search for the shipment orders for a specific business partner, shipment orders with a certain priority, or shipment orders being shipped using a certain carrier. These orders can then be combined in a wave and released for picking.

Other important features of the Wave workbench are that it:

• Allows flexibility in shipment order filtering and building of the Wave
• Provides graphical filters that are a visual to assist the wave building process
• Allows you to configure the application to suit the requirements of the operation
• Provides drill down capabilities on all order filters
• Allows you to view and update the details of a shipment order, filters, and so on
• Provides easy access to key information on wave orders as the order fulfillment process occurs
