Including Sequences on Picklists and Pre-Shippers
Use Picklist/Pre-Shipper–Automatic (7.9.1) to build shippers with or without sequence data.
To generate a shipper containing sequences, the system follows these steps:
• Determines the open quantity from the unpicked sequences in the sequence schedule using the number specified in Firm Days to limit the number of sequences from the active release to include. The open quantity does not include any sequences that have been picked, cross-referenced, or have Deleted set to Yes.
• Performs allocations and picks inventory for the open quantity, marking each sequence as picked.
• Moves picked sequences into multiple pre-shippers if either or both line feed and customer dock are specified.
• Prints each pre-shipper with the first section displaying gross quantities by part. The following section displays the sequences in sequential order and any related information. If the sequences are being delivered to a customer dock or line feed, that information prints on the first section of the pre-shipper.
• Prints the sequenced packing list in forward or reverse order, as indicated in the customer control record, or if one does not exist, as specified in Sequence Schedule Control.
• Shows breaks between sequences as specified in Sequences Per Container in the customer control record or if one does not exist, as specified in Sequence Schedule Control.
When creating a sequenced picklist, the Picklist/Pre-Shipper Sequence Pack List section on the printed document displays sequence information.
