Process Overview ERP
Picking
Guided picking for production order
In the case of guided stock removal for the production order, existing and planned material withdrawals are selected and displayed for selection. By entering the order number, all relevant items for the production order are determined from the order pool and selected for processing. The selected transport orders can be processed either directly or, if necessary, in batch. After completion of the process run, the material is removed from the lift.
Guided picking to the material
The guided stock removal for the material enables you to select open transfer orders in the worklist by scanning the material number for processing. You can select several orders for different materials and process them together.
Guided picking for transfer order
Existing transfer orders are selected for the guided stock removal to the transfer order. You can select one or more transfer orders from the worklist using the entry field "TO number". The selected transport orders can be processed either directly or, if necessary, in batch processing.
Guided picking for delivery
In the case of guided stock removal for the delivery, existing deliveries are selected. You can select one or more deliveries from the worklist using the input field "Sales document". The selected transport orders can be processed either directly or, if necessary, in batch. After completion of the process run, the material is removed from the lift.
Multi Order Pick with Pick To Light function
Batch picking can also be called Multi-Order Pick. The aim is to pick several orders simultaneously from the warehouse lifts in order to achieve an optimization of the pick numbers. Optimization is achieved by picking as many picks as possible from one tray and thus reducing the number of movements. Multi Order Picks can be collected and picked for storage tasks, outbound deliveries or production orders. The graphic representation and the use of a Pick To Light unit can be used to support the order picker.
Manual stock removal for order
In the case of manual stock removal, orders for picking are created directly at the lift by entering data for removal and picked directly. In addition to the withdrawal, the consumption of the materials for the entered order can also be posted directly.
Manual stock removal for cost center
In the case of manual stock removal, orders for picking are created directly at the lift by entering data for removal and picked directly. In addition to the withdrawal, the consumption of the materials can also be posted directly to the entered cost center.
Putaway
Guided putaway to the production order
The items in the order pool can be preregistered by scanning the production order number. You can mark any number of items for putaway and then store them together.
