    Goods issue: Collective picking

    Your task/initial situation

    You want to pick all sales order line items of a pick list and then assign them to your shipping processes.

    With collective picking, all sales order line items of a pick list are collected on a picking trolley. All items are mixed on the picking trolley and will be sorted by sales order later on during the following processes:

    Requirements

    • You have already created a pick list template of the type EazyShipping or boxes, with which you can add sales orders to a pick list.

    How to start picking

    1. Start JTL-WMS Mobile.
    2. Open the hamburger menu and select the Collective picking menu item.
    1. Select your pick list from the list or search for it using the search field. You can also create a new pick list using the + button. You will then be taken to the individual storage locations of the pick list in a route-optimised manner.
    Note: You can find information on how to optimise picking routes in our documentation Optimising picking routes.
    1. Scan the storage location from which you want to take out the items. This confirmation is only required if you have activated the Confirming the storage location check box in JTL-Wawi in your storage settings under JTL-WMS Mobile tab > Picking.
    1. Now scan the items that you want to take out of this storage location.
    1. Repeat until the pick list is complete. When the pick list has been completed, you can go back to the main menu and process the next pick list.

    Filling boxes

    Note: This process is only necessary if you use a pick list of the Shipping box type.

    After the pick list has been processed, you must sort the items on the picking trolley. This can be done via the Fill boxes menu item. Below you will find instructions on how to do this.

    1. Start JTL-WMS Mobile.
    2. Open the hamburger menu and select the Fill boxes menu item.
    1. Select your pick list from the list or search for it using the search field.
    1. Scan an item or select the item from the list.
    1. Now put the item into the displayed shipping box and then scan the shipping box.
    1. Repeat until all items are assigned to the shipping boxes. When the pick list has been completed, you can go back to the main menu and process the next pick list.

    Special cases

    Dialogue: Too little stock

    Sometimes the user can only take a smaller amount from the storage location during picking than required (shortage in the storage location). Whenever an insufficient amount is entered during picking, the user is asked two questions. By answering the first question, you specify what to do about the missing stock. Do you want to clear it or do you not want to modify the stock? The following buttons are displayed to the user:

    • Clear shortages: If you click this button, the missing quantity is cleared from the system.
    • Do not modify stock: If you click this button, the stock will not be modified. Attention: As long as the goods are not cleared, the stock in JTL-WMS remains the same in that storage location. The stock therefore does not correspond to the actual stock. This storage location can end up on the next pick list again and the same problem occurs again. The storage location should therefore be checked as soon as possible and then corrected if necessary via an outbound posting.
    • Different SLED/batch: If too little quantity of a SLED or batch item has been picked, this button is also displayed. It may happen that different SLEDs or batches are stored in the same storage location. The item may therefore have to be picked in several steps. If you click this button, the quantity that has not been picked yet remains on the pick list and is displayed as the next pick. You can then select a different batch or SLED. (If you have clicked this button, the next question will not appear). Example: In the storage location, batch “aaaa” exists 2 times and batch “bbbb” also exists 2 times. The item is to be picked 3 times. Then you have to enter the quantity “2” with the batch “aaaa” in the Mobile App during picking. When asked what should happen with the shortage, click the “Different SLED/batch” button. The storage location is now displayed again with the remaining quantity of “1”. The remaining quantity is now taken out along with the batch “bbbb”.

    Dialogue: Shortage

    If you click one of these buttons, you must choose what happens to the line item on the pick list for which there is no available stock. You can either reserve from another storage location or delete the pick list line item.

    • Reserve from another storage location: If you click this button, the system will automatically attempt to reserve the missing quantity from another storage location. If stock is found in a different location, the item is simply added to the pick list and the warehouse staff is guided to this storage location. If the item cannot be reserved, the windows opens again and you have to choose one of the other alternatives.
    • Do not reserve quantity: If you do not want the system to automatically search for the item in another storage location, the pick list is simply deleted. This means that:
    • There is now at least one open line item for the sales order. This line item would be reserved when the next pick list has been created, if the sales order can thus be delivered in full.
    • Look in another storage location: If you click here, you will see a list of storage locations, in which the item is available. If the item does not exist elsewhere, you must select a different option.
