Click this button to access the Add to Equipment Parts List page and add one or more selected inventory items to one or more EPL templates that appear on the page. You must select the items for each row on the Inventory Scheduling grid, enter a planned quantity, and select each item row to display the Add to Equipment Parts List page.

Pick Reserved Parts Only

Select this check box and run the Picking Plan to pick only the reserved inventory items (parts) associated with the work order task.

Note: If the reserve rule is pick plan, all the parts for the task will be picked regardless if they have already been reserved and Pick Reserved Parts only is selected.

Picking Plan Date Options

Select one of these values to represent the number of days needed to reserve, pick, pack, and ship the majority of the items in the Inventory business unit. The requested quantities for soft-reserve items can be reserved when the scheduled shipment date falls within one of the following reservation lead days windows:

Date Range

These fields become available:
- From:

- Today
  
  Select this value to indicate that the selected items must be reserved, picked, packed, and shipped in PeopleSoft Inventory as of the current date.

Note: If you do not select or enter one of the previous values, the system will use the lead days indicated for the Inventory business unit in Inventory, Fulfill Stock Orders, Fulfillment Rules, Setup Fulfillment, Setup Fulfillment or at the item level in Inventory, Fulfill Stock Orders, Setup Item Fulfillment.

Location Summary Option

If you are using a push picking plan (the Action of Create Allocations on the Work Order Pick Plan page), you can print a Location Summary report either in addition to or instead of a full Picking Plan report. The Location Summary report sorts the demand lines according to where the items are physically stocked within the warehouse (Inventory business unit). The layout of the printed report reflects the actual positions of stock to be picked, enabling your personnel to fulfill all orders on the picking plan without revisiting locations.

Note: It is possible to complete all of the picking using only the Location Summary report; however, you can only view details such as picking errors or picking line and schedule orders and notes if you print out a full Picking Plan report.

Picking Plan Only, Location Summary Only, and Picking Plan and Loc Summary (picking plan and location summary)

Indicate which version of the picking plan you are printing. Location summary options are only available when you select Create Allocations in the Action field on the Work Order Pick Plan page.

Sort Order

Select up to three sorting levels to sort demand lines on the Picking Plan Location Summary report. These sort orders are based on the locations within the inventory business unit (physical location table). For each level, indicate whether the sort is in ascending or descending order and whether a page break should occur.

Values for the highest-level Sort Order field are:

ASRS ID: (automated storage and retrieval system identification): Sorts numerically by the ASRS ID number assigned to each material storage location. The ASRS ID is assigned to a material storage location using the Material Storage Locations page.
Area: Sorts by storage area within the inventory business unit.
Area/Zone: Sorts by storage area and then sorts each storage area by picking zone.
Area/Zone/ASRS: Sorts by storage area, then by picking zone, and then by the material storage location's ASRS ID.
Area/Zone/Stor Loc: Sorts by storage area, then by picking zone, and then by material storage location.
Storage Location: Sorts by material storage location.
Zone: Sorts by picking zone.
Zone/ASRS: Sorts by picking zone and then sorts each picking zone by the material storage location's ASRS ID.
Zone/Stor Loc: Sorts by picking zone and then sorts each picking zone by the material storage location.

Once a value has been used at a higher-level sort order, the same value cannot be repeated in a lower-level sort. The values for the two lower-level Sort Order fields are:

ASRS ID: (automated storage and retrieval system ID): Sorts numerically by the ASRS ID number assigned to each material storage location. The ASRS ID is assigned to a material storage location using the Material Storage Locations page.
Area: Sorts by storage area within the inventory business unit.
Container: Sorts by the storage containers with stock to be picked.
Item: Sorts by the item ID of the stock to be picked.
Lot: Sorts by the lot ID of the lot-controlled stock to be picked.
Serial ID: Sorts by the serial ID of the serial-controlled stock to be picked.
Staged Date: Sorts by the staged date of the stock to be picked.
Storage Location: Sorts by material storage location.
Unit of Measure: Sorts by stocking unit of measure for the stock to be picked.
Zone: Sorts by picking zone.

Location Detail Sort Option

Select up to two location detail sort options. The detail sort options are based on values located on the work order demand line, not the physical locations within the warehouse. For each level, indicate whether the sort is in ascending or descending order. Once a value has been used at the higher-level sort order, the same value cannot be repeated in the lower-level sort.

Values for the location detail sort option fields are:

Shop ID: Sorts by the shop ID on the work order demand line.
Work Order ID: Sorts by work order ID on the demand line.
Work Order Task: Sorts by the work order task used on the demand line.

Output Destination

Select the Server, the Format of the output, and the Destination for the output, such as the name of an employee or a job location.

Output Type

If a transaction cost is:

Scheduled, the system updates the Scheduled Totals on the Cost page.
Actuals, the scheduled costs will not be added back to the work order. The Actual Totals are updated on Cost page of the work order based when you run the Cost Summarization process.

Transaction Source values can be:

Work Order

This value appears when the row is inserted directly in the work order. These are scheduled costs.
Inventory Direct Issue

This value appears when a row is inserted back to a work order as a result of a direct issue from PeopleSoft Inventory. These costs are actual costs and are not rolled into the scheduled costs for the work order task.
Inventory Peg Workbench

This value appears when a row is inserted back to a work order from the pegging workbench. These are scheduled costs.

Note: For Inventory Schedules rows that are created by a direct issue from PeopleSoft Inventory, the Scheduled Quantity field will be 0 and the entire row will be disabled.
