About this task
Based on the demand, if the system determines
more than one pick process for a UOM, the pick processes are evaluated
in the following order:
- Item Pick
- Order Pick
- Batch Pick
Procedure
- If the determines that
the item pick process should be used, it:
- Determines PLA from the UOM specified
in the Pick Process Determination rules.
- Processes all UOM conditions defined starting
from the largest UOM (UOM that corresponds to the highest quantity).
- Performs PLA for the demand.
- Continues to process until the demand
is completely satisfied or all UOM conditions are exhausted.
- If the determines that
the order pick or batch pick process should be used, it:
- Determines PLA from the UOM specified
in the:
- Pick Process Determination rules (applicable only
for the order pick process)
- UOM Condition
- Performs PLA for the demand.
Results
If a demand is not fulfilled by a pick process,
it is carried forward to either the next pick process defined for
that UOM. Otherwise, the demand is carried forward to the pick process
defined for the next highest UOM.
The PLA algorithm checks for inventory availability
in zones that are configured for picking.
