Creating Picklists
After you release a work order, you can print its picklist. The picklist lists
the component requirements and the sites, locations, lot/serial numbers,
and reference numbers for the items to be issued. The system creates
detail allocations when an order is released, regardless of whether or not
you print a picklist. Detail allocations reserve specific quantities in
inventory for a work order.
The picking logic used is determined by settings in the Inventory Control
File.
You can release an order without printing a picklist and routing, but you
cannot print a picklist for an order without releasing it.
In a picklist, floor stock appears separately, without site or location. Floor
stock should have issue policy set to No for the item-site or item.
For an order with several operations, components can be grouped together
on separate picklists by setting their lead time offset (LT Offset) to
indicate when they are required with respect to the release date. Define
lead time offset in Product Structure Maintenance (13.5) or Formula
Maintenance (15.5).
Reprinting Picklists
You may need to reprint a picklist if not all items were available when it
was first issued. Use Work Order Release/Print (16.6) and set Reprint
Picked Quantities to No (the default). All items that were not available
before are listed.
Another way to reprint a picklist while tracking components already
issued to an order is to change the status to Allocated, then re-release the
order.
Changing the status to Exploded is possible, but this can cause differences
in how phantom use-up logic is applied. If no components have been
issued and no changes made to the work order bill or routing, then the
status can be changed to Firm Planned, Exploded, or Allocated before rereleasing.
Changing the status to Firm Planned eliminates changes
entered manually to the work order bill or routing.
