Interactive Method

You can create suggestions interactively to select locations for picking. You can either allow the system to suggest a location or manually specify picking information such as the quantity, the unit of measure, and the location.

If you want the system to suggest locations automatically when you access the Manual Planner form, you must set the Auto Location Selections processing option on the Manual Planner tab for the Request Inquiry (P4600) program.

When you run the Location Selection Driver program, the system can:

• Select all outstanding pick requests based on data selection

• Update each request's status in the Warehouse Requests table (F4600)

• Create picking location movement suggestions

• Print audit reports

• Print move documents.

You control which functions that the system performs by setting processing options in the Location Selection Driver (R46171) program. You can also set processing options in these programs:

• Task and Trip Creation (R46471)

• Move Slips (R46472)

• Move Tags (R47463)

If you are using automatic replenishment, as you create suggestions for picking locations, the system runs the appropriate programs to create and process replenishment requests for depleted picking locations.
