Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Block number 1

Code of the output mode. The output mode determines the rules applied to the products when searching for output locations.

  • Description (field OMDDESAXX)

 

  • Short description (field OMDSHOAXX)

 

  • Active (field ENAFLG)

Select this check box to activate the current record.

Disabled records keep their content and setup but cannot be used (by recalling their code) on other records (documents, settings ...), or for mass processes.

The authorizations to a given function can prohibit the creation of an active record. In this case, the check box is disabled by default. It can only be modified by an authorized user or through a signature Workflow.

Rules

  • Limit big volume (field BIGVOLTSD)

Limit threshold between small and large volume.

  • field BIGVOLSYM

 

Serial N° management

  • In input (field INPSRNMGT)

The serial numbers entered on output will have to be previously entered on input (the 'Serial number output management' field is automatically checked if the latter is checked).

  • In output (field OUTSRNMGT)

The management of the serial numbers is enabled in output mode.

  • Location (field OUTSRNLCZ)

 

Picking

  • Picking stock (field PICSTKMGT)

The system considers that the picking is peformed in priority from picking-type locations.

  • Automatic choice of picking (field AUTPIC)

The system chooses the most appropriate picking location(s) to meet the request.

SEEWARNING If you do not activate this parameter, the system will only search the level-5 picking locations.

  • Stock-out replenishment (field PICRPNSSH)

The system triggers a replenishment order if the quantity to be picked is greater than the available stock of the picking location.

  • Preventive replenishment (field PICRPNTSD)

A replenishment order is triggered at the end of the wave if the available picking stock is less than the replenishment threshold of the location and if the location has been the subject of a picking during the wave.

  • Dynamic Picking (field MAPMGT)

Only selected products will be taken into account in the calculation of the ideal classes in the Dynamic picking module.

Grid Output priority

  • Criteria (field RSVOUTPIO)

When the system must perform an output movement from the reserve, it loads into the memory all the stock objects of the considered product code, on the basis of a sort criterion defined by the combination of the 6 following elements:

  • FIFO date Output of the object with the oldest FIFO date.
  • Occupancy % Output of the object from the location having the lowest occupancy rate
  • CU/STK quantity Output of the object with the lowest CU/STK quantity (with the most shortage)
  • Store. Output from the top priority store
  • FIFO bracket. Output of the object with the oldest FIFO bracket. The FIFO bracket is calculated from the FIFO date of the oldest object or from the FIFO date of the location in case of a "bay"-type structure. The FIFO tolerance defined in the main product record of the product concerned is added to this value.
  • Lot number. Output of the object with the smallest lot number.

When the system must perform an output movement from a picking location in non-multiple mode, it uses the same combination of 6 elements except for one difference at the level of the CU/STK quantity criteria: the system favors the largest SO (contrary to the reserve when the system favors the smallest SO) to take the cascading picking location reorder into account.

Picking pivot

  • Picking pivot (field DYNPIC)

If the box is checked, the picking location is set to "pivot picking", which means it is not assigned to a Depositor/product pair; in that case, the assignment takes place upon wave launching. The use of a picking reserved for the product is a priority compared with the use of pivot pickings, irrespective of the setup of the product output mode.

  • Single DO replenishment (field DYNSNGDLO)

When the box is checked, the generated Replenishment orders for the replenishment of a pivot picking location will only process the requirement of a single DO; Otherwise, they can process the requirement of several DOs of the same wave.

  • Single wave replenish (field DYNSNGWAV)

When the box is checked, a pivot picking location is only replenished for a wave; otherwise the same pivot picking can be replenished within the frame of several waves.

Grid Picking priority

  • Criteria (field PICOUTPIO)

When the system must perform an output (or replenishment) movement in multiple picking mode, it loads into the memory all the stock objects of the considered product code, based on a sort criterion defined by the combination of the 4 following elements:

Object:Management of the output criteria for the picking locations assigned to products managed with multiple picking mode. The criteria listed below should be sorted by order of priority.

Picking priority. The locations with the highest picking priority, corresponding to the lowest number assigned to a location, are preferred.

Occupancy %. The least occupied locations are preferred.

CU quantity. The location with the largest available CU quantity is preferred.

FIFO date.Output of the object with the oldest FIFO date.

FIFO bracket.Output of the object with the oldest FIFO bracket.

SEEWARNINGThe use of multiple picking is limited only to the items managed at the CPU.

Multiple picking

  • Multiple picking (field MLTPIC)

If the check box is selected, the product will be managed in multipicking. This mode allows you to create multiple picking locations using the same reference container for the selected product.

  • DO single picking (field SNGPIC)

If this check box is selected, the pickings related to a DO for a given product reference are carried out from a single picking location.

  • Output in priority to replenishment (field OUTRPN)

If this check box is selected, the stock search first applies to the other picking locations before replenishment. If this check box is cleared and if stock is missing from a picking location, this location is replenished first.

  • Single address replenish (field SNGSLO)

If this check box is selected, the replenishment is carried out from a unique picking location for all the pickings linked to the wave.

Reserve output authorized

  • Reserve output authorized (field RSVOUTAUZ)

This field indicates if output from the reserve is authorized and in which cases:

No. All outputs are performed from the Picking.

Request >= object. The picking is carried out from the reserve if the requested quantity is equal to or higher than the standard quantity of the default product container. After objects have been successively picked from the reserve, the remaining quantity (i.e. lower than a complete object) will be taken from the picking.

Request >= picking capacity %. This way, the picking location is consistent with the quantity requested in the DO.

Always. Regardless of the output quantity, the picking is carried out in the reserve area (no picking).

  • Reserve prohibited (field RSVNEVER)

 

  • % picking capacity (field PICCAPPCT)

Use this field to define a percentage, but only if the Request >= % picking capacity option is enabled against the Authorized reserve output field.

This percentage will be used to calculate the threshold beyond which the reserve search can be triggered.

Incomplete cntr. pick authorized

  • field IPAOUTAUZ

This field specifies if the output of incomplete pallets is authorized.

No. Objects from an incomplete container will only be used for replenishment movements and can be subjected to transfers for merging purposes.

Request < standard quantity. Objects from an incomplete container can be subject to an output for a given DO but only if the request or balance to be completed is strictly less than the standard quantity of the product pallet container.

The output of complete objects is performed as a priority. Objects from an incomplete container can only be subject to an output from the reserve if no standard pallet is available, and the balance to be completed is less that the product palletization standard.

Always. Stock objects are processed in the preferred order defined in the Output mode (see later on the setup called Priority Order of the criteria). No priority for complete objects.

Choosing one of the first two values of this setup (value No or Request < Standard quantity) can cause the FIFO order to be skipped.

  • Incompl. pallet create authorized (field IPACREAUZ)

Specifies if the system agrees to create an incomptete pallet to meet an output request. This parameter has no impact on the picking replenishment algorithm. This parameter is inhibited by the system when reserve outputs are always authorized.

Grid Replenishment priority

  • Replenishment priority (field REAOUTPIO)

When the system must perform a replenishment movement from the reserve, it loads into the memory all the stock objects of the considered product code, on the basis of a sort criterion defined by the combination of the 6 following elements:

  • FIFO date: FIFO date of the stock object.
  • Occupancy %: Occupancy percentage of the location where the stock object is.
  • CU/STK quantity: CU/STK quantity for the stock object.
  • Store: the output priority from the store where the stock object is located.
  • FIFO bracket: The FIFO bracket is calculated from the FIFO date of the oldest object or from the FIFO date of the location in case of a "bay"-type structure. The FIFO tolerance defined in the main product record of the product concerned is added to this value.
  • Lot number: Lot number of the stock object.

  • Repl. priority sort (field REAOUTPIOS)

You can sort out the replenishment priority criteria in ascending (default value) or descending order.
The sort is organized as follows, for each criteria:


Criteria
AscendingDescending
FIFO dateOutput of the object with the oldest FIFO dateOutput of the object with the latest FIFO date
Occupancy %Output from the location with the lowest occupancy rateOutput from the location with the highest occupancy rate
CU/STK quantityOutput of the object with the lowest CU/STK quantityOutput of the object with the highest CU/STK quantity
StoreOutput from the top priority storeOutput from the lowest priority store
FIFO bracketOutput of the object with the oldest FIFO bracketOutput of the object with the latest FIFO bracket
Lot numberOutput of the object with the smallest lot numberOutput of the object with the biggest lot number
