Bypass Creation of Pick Forms during WSPS Pick Generation (K55)
Purpose: Use this screen to indicate whether to expedite Streamlined Pick Slip Generation (WSPS) by suppressing the generation of printable pick slips and additional processing steps.
When would you bypass printing pick slips? If you integrate with a warehouse management system, you might use the Generic Pick Out API to communicate pick slip information to the external system. In this case, you can accelerate pick slip processing by skipping the generation of printable pick slips and other processing steps such as sorting and cart/batch generation.
Does not affect any other pick slip generation option: This system control value does not prevent the generation of printable pick slips through any menu option besides Streamlined Pick Slip Generation (WSPS). Other processes that generate pick slips, such as Selecting Vendors for Drop Ship Processing (MDSP) and Reprinting and Voiding Pick Slips (WVRP or WSVP), still generate printable pick slips regardless of the setting of this system control value.
Yes/no field: Select this option to simplify Streamlined Pick Slip Generation (WSPS) as follows:
Omitted print output: If this system control value is selected, Streamlined Pick Slip Generation (WSPS) does not generate the:
• Batch Pull Sheet Item Summary Report
• Cart/Bin Batch Picking Pullsheet
Note: The Automatic Generation of Gift Acknowledgement (B92) system control value indicates whether to generate gift acknowledgements at pick slip generation or at billing; however, if the Bypass Creation of Pick Forms During WSPS Pick Generation (K55) is selected, neither process generates gift acknowledgements.
Simplified pick slip processing: Also, if this system control value is selected, Streamlined Pick Slip Generation (WSPS) does not perform:
• let-down replenishment, regardless of the setting of the Let Down Replenishment (C36) system control value
• cart/bin picking, regardless of setting entered at the Edit Cart/Bin Values Screen (B38)
• extraction of custom special handling information, regardless of the setting of the Generate Custom Special Handling File (D66) system control value
• population of the Pick Sort GH table or any other sorting logic controlled by the following system control values:
- Sort Pick Slips by Gift Flag (D53)
- Sort Picks by Foreign/Domestic Flag (D54)
- Sort Picks by Pick Sequence (E89)
- Load Location into Pick Sequence (G34)
Omitted fields: If this system control value is selected, the cart bin number and cart batch number are not included in the:
• Pick Message from Order Management System (CWPickOut)
• Order Transaction History message written at pick slip generation
Streamlined allocation: To further expedite Streamlined Pick Slip Generation (WSPS), select the Use Streamlined Allocation (L63) system control value. See that system control value for processing details.
Note: If this system control value is selected and the Create Generic Pick Download Triggers (I31) system control value is unselected, the streamlined pick slip generation option does not generate either printable pick slips or the Pick Message from Order Management System (CWPickOut); it simply creates records in the Pick Control Header and Detail and related tables.
Leave this field unselected to generate printable pick slips through Streamlined Pick Slip Generation (WSPS) and to perform processing related to let-down replenishment, cart/bin picking, sorting, and extracting of special handling information.
