Pick Ticket Generation

The Generate PickTickets command in the Service Orders screen creates a pick ticket record. The processing logic for the command follows:

• For each order line item action of the Allocate type, when the product is not on a pick ticket (when the Shipment number field is blank in the Actions view in the Line Items view in the List view of the Service Orders screen), the Generate PickTickets function tries to create a valid pick ticket (a new row in table S_SHIPMENT) by reviewing the source inventory for the allocation.

  If the source inventory is not the type in the InventoryTypeForPT system preference, then the Generate PickTickets function tries to find a parent inventory for the source inventory with the type in the InventoryTypeForPT system preference. (The default value for this system preference is Warehouse.) If a parent inventory is found, then a pick ticket record for this location is generated. For other line item actions with the same source, the same pick ticket applies. A new pick ticket is generated only when the sources are different.

• The Generate PickTickets function associates the line item action to the pick ticket by updating the Shipment number field.

You can process pick tickets in the Shipments view of the Shipments screen.
