Picking Component Items for Work Orders

Use your mobile device to pick component items for released work orders. If you use the Manufacturing Work in Process (WIP) feature, you can also pick component items for WIP-enabled work orders. However, you cannot use the mobile device to build assembly items for WIP-enabled work orders.

Note:

If you use the Manufacturing Routing and Work Center feature, you cannot use the mobile device to pick component items or build assembly items for work orders associated with routings.

If you use Manufacturing Mobile with Warehouse Management, you can activate the Allow over-picking for work orders rule to enable excess quantity when you pick component items. You can also stage the picked items in WIP bins for Manufacturing Mobile. For more information, see Activating the Allow Over-picking for Work Orders System Rule or Creating a WIP Bin for Manufacturing Mobile.

To pick component items for a work order:

On your mobile device, tap the menu icon at the top-left corner of the screen, and then tap Main Menu.
On the Main Menu page, tap Work Orders.
On the Work Orders page, tap Picking.
On the Select Work Order page, do one of the following:
- In the Scan/Enter Work Order # field, scan or enter the work order number you want to process. If you enter the data, tap Enter Work Order # to proceed.
- To select the list of work orders, tap the work order number.
On the Select Pick Task page, from the Pick Tasks list, tap the item associated with the pick task you want to process.

Note:
If your warehouse does not use bins and you entered a partial quantity for an item, you can stage any picked items by tapping Go to Staging. Proceed to step 10.
For warehouse locations that use bins, on the Enter Bin page, do one of the following:
- In the Scan/Enter Bin field, scan or enter the bin number. If you enter the data, tap Enter Bin to proceed.
- To select the recommended bin, in the Recommended Bin field, tap the bin number.
- To select from the list of bins, tap the Show all bins toggle, and then tap the bin number.
On the Enter Item page, do one of the following:
- In the Scan/Enter Item field, scan or enter the item, UPC, or item alias you want to pick. If you enter the data, tap Enter Item to proceed.
  
  For more information about aliases, see Creating Item Aliases.
- In the Item To Pick field, tap the item name or number.
On the Enter Quantity page, do the following:
Note:
To process insufficient or partially picked items, you can do the following:
- If your warehouse uses bins and the bin has no items, tap Bin Empty. You can process another pick task, or select the same one and pick from another bin. If your warehouse does not use bins, tap No Stock.
- When you enter a partial quantity for an item, you are redirected to this page to enter the remaining quantity. For lot items, you can also select another lot number.
1. In the Enter Quantity field, enter the number of items you want to pick.
2. If you use the Inventory Status feature, in the Inventory Status field, select the status of the item.
3. For lot-numbered items, in the Scan/Enter Lot field, scan or enter the lot number. If you enter data, tap Enter Quantity to proceed.
  
  Alternatively, to select from the Available Lots list, tap the lot number. If the work order contains the lot numbers, the list displays only those numbers.
Tip:
For warehouse locations that do not use bins, if you want to view stock locations associated with the item, tap the Show Stock Locations toggle.
For serialized items, on the Enter Serial Number page, in the Scan/Enter Serial Number field, scan or enter the serial number. If you enter the data, tap Enter Serial Number to proceed.

Tip:
To view the list of serial numbers, tap the Show possible serial numbers toggle. If the work order contains the serial numbers, the list displays only those numbers.

Repeat this step to add more serial numbers. If you entered a partial quantity, you are redirected to the Enter Quantity page. See step 8.

After you have fully picked the item, a confirmation message appears. You can do the following:
- If you have another pick task that you want to process, tap Next Pick Task. Return to step 5.
- For warehouses that use bins, you can process all the pick tasks first, and then stage them using the same bin. You can also stage one or more items in a separate bin. To stage items, proceed to step 10.
If your warehouse location uses bins and you want to stage the picked items, tap Go to Staging, and then on the Enter Staging Bin page, do one of the following:
- In the Scan/Enter Staging Bin field, scan or enter the number of the staging bin. If you enter the data, tap Enter Staging Bin to proceed.
- To select from the list of bins, tap the Show all bins toggle, and then tap the bin number.
A message appears to confirm that you have staged the items successfully.

On the associated work order records, you can view the open tasks by going to Inventory > Work Orders > Work Orders > List. NetSuite WMS creates open tasks even for partially picked component items. It creates separate open tasks for any remaining items that you pick at a later time. For more information about work orders, see Assembly Work Orders.

On item records, you can view the adjusted the stock levels for each component item’s inventory detail. The component items’ stock level decreases in the source storage bin and increases in the destination work-in-progress (WIP) bin location, in which you can build the assembly item.

To close a work order, you must complete a build that assembles the component items. To build work orders, see Building Assembly Items for a Work Order.
