Select an option for short shipping this demand line. Options are:

  • Scrap the Undershipment: Scrap the unshipped quantity that was picked.

Complete Flag

Choose a Complete Flag option to automatically performing picking functionality on demand lines that have no previous picking activity reported against them. The LLS segment and the override location are applied prior to implementing the complete flag logic. Using the Complete Flag, the line can be moved to different sub-states within the Released state, or, with auto-processing, moved downstream to the shipped or depleted states.

  • Complete Pick- Dft Ship Loc: Uses the default shipping location as the pick location for demand lines that do not already have the Confirm Flag set.

    The default shipping location is stored at both the business unit and business unit/item levels.

  • Complete Pick- Leave Alone: With this option any lines within the selection criteria that do not have the Confirm Flag set are left alone.

    The Confirm Flag is not set on these demand lines.

  • Complete Pick- Zero Quantity: Sets the zero picked flag for every line within the selection criteria if they do not already have the Confirm Flag set.

  • Pick Batch Complete: Removes every line within the selection criteria from the pick batch ID if they do not already have the Confirm Flag set.

  • Pick Batch as Planned: Sets the Confirm Flag on any line that has had picking activity.

    In this situation, picking activity is assumed to be satisfied if there are any allocations as well as if the demand line is a zero picked demand line. An error is generated for any lines that have not had any picking activity when using this option.

  • Pick Line Complete: Removes the line from the pick batch ID if the Confirm Flag is not already set.

    It is only valid when referencing an individual pick/batch line at the group or detail level.

  • Pick Line as Planned: Sets the Confirm Flag on any line that has had picking activity.

    In this situation, picking activity is assumed to be satisfied if there are any allocations as well as if the demand line is a zero picked demand line. An error is generated for any lines that have not had any picking activity when using this option. This option is only valid when referencing a pick/batch line at the group or detail level.
