Withhold Picks due to Item Allocation Error (F04)

Purpose: Use this screen to define whether to print a pre-printed pick slip that includes an item with a stock allocation error.

Yes/no field: Select this field if you do not want the system to print a pick slip when an item on the order creates a stock allocation error.

Order history: The system creates an order transaction history message for the item that has the item stock allocation error: PICK GEN Item Allocation error - Order line 1.

When you use Streamlined Pick Slip Generation (WSPS), the system does not print a pick slip for any item that is on the same order as the item that has the item stock allocation error, even if the item prints on a separate pick slip.

A pick prints for the items once the allocation error associated with the item on the order has been resolved.

Example: An example of how the system generates pick slips when the Withhold Picks Due to Item Allocation Error system control value is selected.

Withhold Picks Due to Item Allocation Error = Selected
Order Line	Item Type	Status	Coordinate Group #	Result
1	regular item resulting in allocation error	in-stock	1	The system: • Deletes all pre-printed pick slips for the order. • Does not print a pick slip for the item which created an allocation error, or for any item that is on the same ORDER as the item that has the item stock allocation error, regardless if the other items on the order were created on a separate pre-printed pick slip. • Prints the item with the stock allocation error on the Item Stock Allocation Error Report. • Creates new pre-printed pick slips for the order.
2	ship alone item	in-stock
3	coordinate group item	in-stock	1
4	coordinate group item	in-stock	1
5.	regular item	in-stock	1

Leave this field unselected if you want the system to print a pick slip for an order when an item on the order creates a stock allocation error.

The system prints a pick slip for items on the order that did not create item stock allocation errors. A separate pick slip prints for items on the order that created item stock allocation errors once the errors have been resolved. However, if the item that has the item stock allocation error is part of a set or is part of a coordinate group, the system holds the other items that are part of the set or coordinate group.

Example: An example of how the system generates a pick slip when the Withhold Picks Due to Item Allocation Errors system control value is unselected.

Withhold Picks Due to Item Allocation Error = Unselected
Order Line	Item Type	Status	Coordinate Group Number	Result
1	regular item resulting in allocation error	in-stock	1	The system: • Deletes the pre-printed pick slip for the item with the stock allocation error. • Prints the item with the stock allocation error on the Item Stock Allocation Error Report. • Creates a new pre-printed pick slip for the item with the stock allocation error.
2	ship alone item	in-stock		The system prints a separate pick slip for the ship alone item, displaying the item with the stock allocation error and its coordinate grouped items in a backorder status.
3	coordinate group item	in-stock	1	The system: • Deletes the pre-printed pick slip for the items that are coordinate grouped with the item that has the item stock allocation error. • Creates a new pre-printed pick slip for the items.
4	coordinate item	in-stock	1
5	regular item	in-stock		The system prints a pick slip for the regular item, displaying the item with the stock allocation error and its coordinate grouped items in a backorder status.
