Consider the following sample set-up for allowing shipments per
location in the equipment:
- Equipment location size code must be set-up as Infinite.
- Item I1 dimension with Volume = 250 CIN and Max Weight = 3 LBS.
(Length - 10 IN, Width - 5 IN, Height - 5 IN).
- Batch Pick Task must be configured to pick into equipment.
- Three shipments are included in the wave for Item I1 with 1 unit
each.
The following examples further explain the shipment based batching.
Example 1
With task type having 'Number
of shipments allowed per location in the equipment set to 1' and Equipment
has only one slot - logical location A. In this case, number of batches
created by the system is 3, since one location of the equipment can
hold only one shipment.
Example 2
With task type having 'Number
of shipments allowed per location in the equipment set to 1' and Equipment
has three slots - logical locations A, B and C. In this case, number
of batches created by the system is 1, since one location of the equipment
can hold one shipment each.
Example 3
With task type having 'Number
of shipments allowed per location in the equipment set to 2' and Equipment
has only one slot - logical location A. Consider four shipments are
included in the wave for Item I1 with 1 unit each. In this case:
- Number of batches created by the system is 2.
- Batch B1 will have Location A with Slot 1 assigned to Shipment1
and Location A with Slot 2 assigned to Shipment2.
- Batch B2 will have Location A with Slot 1 assigned to Shipment3
and Location A with Slot 2 assigned to Shipment4.
