Expand Task Creation for Waving and Replenishment to support Ordering by Ascending and Descending
The Task Creation Template is enhanced that allows you to define task sequencing, either in Ascending or Descending order based on specific ‘Order By Columns’ using ‘Sort By’ rule. This functionality applies to both CC Task Rules and Regular Task Rules and helps you in defining sorting rules for Picking, Replenishment, and CC tasks.
For example: Tasks can be prioritized by Location-Aisle in ascending order, and within the same aisle and tasks are then sorted by Location-Level in descending order.
The new ‘Sort By’ parameter integrates with the existing Break By and Extended Grouping features.
Sort By criteria
You can sort tasks by From Active Location Pick Sequence in descending order and then group them by every two orders, with additional options for extended grouping.
Steps to Enable
To enable and utilize the enhanced Task Creation Template for defining task sequencing using the new "Sort By" rule, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Task Creation Template UI and select a record for either CC Task Rules or Regular Task Rules Template Type, depending on the requirement.
- Click on Details
- Select a detail and click on Ordering Criteria.
- Create an Ordering Criteria record:
- Use the Sequence No. field to specify the order in which these rules will be applied. This defines the sequence priority for different task rules.
- In the Order by column field, choose the first column by which you want to order tasks.
- In the Sort By field, select either Ascending or Descending to define how tasks will be sorted based on the chosen Order by column.
- In the Break by count field, you can define how to group tasks based on a specific count (OPTIONAL).
- You can use the Extended Grouping option to further define custom grouping options based on your operational needs.
- Once all necessary fields are configured, click Save to apply the task sorting rules.
