Picking Plan Extract File Record Definitions

The system generates this optional extract file at the same time that it initiates the picking plan. Its content mimics the data contained within the printed picking plan document and provides an electronic means for the front-end (hand-held or batch) process to validate and enhance data collection. Data in the file is comma-separated.

The picking plan extract file includes five control flags that identify characteristics of the item or component being picked:

Field or Control Description

Lot Control Flag

Set to Y if the item is lot-controlled. Set to N if the item is not lot-controlled.

Serial Control Flag

Set to Y if the item is serial-controlled. Set to N if the item is not serial-controlled.

Staged Date Control Flag

Set to Y if the item is staged-date controlled. Set to N if the item is not staged-date controlled.

Actual Cost Control Flag

Set to Y if the item is actual-costed. Set to N if the item is not actual-costed.

Shipping Serial Control Flag

Set to Y if the item is shipping serial-controlled. Set to N if the item is not shipping serial-controlled. The shipping serial control flag is only included in the Inventory picking extract file.
