Usage > Interfaces > Default values > Picking modes 

Use this function to calculate the default picking mode and management mode of a DO received through interface (DLO).

The principle is as follows:
If the DO received through interface relates to a sold-to customer with no picking mode: use this table to define this mode. The table is viewed with respect to the sequence number and the algorithm stops as soon as a record has been found. This is the reason why it is important to enter the records from the most restrictive to the widest.

This functionality can be activated with flag "Default reception modes" defined at depositor level (General tab).

    Presentation

    Selection criteria:

    • The DO movement code (mandatory)
    • a sequence number (mandatory):  defines the running order of records
    • Sold-to customer (optional):  specifies the name of the sold-to customer Caution: since customer BPs are not always supported between L3 and Warehousing, the sold-to customer code (ORDCLT) is considered, not the ship-to customer code (DLVCLT).
    • Company name (optional): this is the first line of the customer's address
    • Carrier (optional)
    • Transportation method (optional)
    • Additionally, the minimum and maximum number of DO lines is considered (in the table of values)

    Based on the chosen criteria, Warehousing can then determine the default picking mode and DO management mode:

    Calculated data:

    • The picking mode
    • the management mode characteristics are:
      • the palletization flag: indicates if the palletization of parcels applies
      • the Loading flag: indicates if the loading of parcels/SU applies
      • the Shipment flag: indicates if shipments are managed
      • the Shorts flag: indicates if shortages are considered
      • the launch leadtime: this leadtime (in days) is used to calculate the provisional date for the DO launch. DO launch date = expected delivery date - leadtime
      • the generic round: defines the generic date to be assigned to the DO. Caution: this round must be consistent with the criteria of the selected record. For instance, with a record linked to carrier Z you cannot select a generic round linked to a carrier other than Z.

    Description of operations:

    let's consider the following setup for the "SS" movement code, applying to any number of DO lines:
    "SS" , 10, "SAGE", " ", "CALBERSON", "AIR"  => pick mode = P1
    "SS" , 15, "SAGE", " ", " ", "AIR"  => pick mode = P2
    "SS" , 20, " ", " ", " ", " "  => pick mode = P3

    if a DO is received with a SAGE customer, DHL carrier and ROUTE mode, then the pick mode used is P3
    if a DO is received with a SAGE customer, CALBERSON carrier and ROUTE mode, then the pick mode used is P3
    if a DO is received with a SAGE customer, CALBERSON carrier and AIR mode, then the pick mode used is P1
    if a DO is received with a SAGE customer, DHL carrier and AIR mode, then the pick mode is P2
    if a DO is received with a SAGE customer, CALBERSON carrier and AIR mode, then the pick mode used is P1
    if a DO is received with an ADONIX customer, CALBERSON carrier and AIR mode, then the pick mode is P3

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Block number 1

    The movement code is used to make the distinction between movements of the same type.
    It is required when creating:

    • An expected input
    • A supplier input
    • A factory input
    • A customer return
    • A DO
    • An adjustment
    • A transfer
    • A consumable input/output

    The movement code is checked against the movement code table.

    • Sequence (field ORN)

     

    Criteria

    • Sold to (field ORDCLT)

     

    • Company name (field DLVNAM)

    Company name of the ship-to customer.

    Code identifying the carrier. This code must be defined in the carrier table.

    Usually, the transport mode corresponds to the notions of messaging, freight, express,... The transport mode is checked against the transport modes table.

    Grid Values

    • MIN lines (field NBLMIN)

     

    • MAX lines (field NBLMAX)

     

     

    • Palletisation (field PRCPLZ)

     

    • Loading (field LODCTL)

     

    • Shipment (field DSPMGT)

     

    • Shorts (field SHRMGT)

     

    • Launch leadtime (field LNCGAP)
