Cancel Picking Allocations only for a Replenishment with Picking Wave
Warehouse operators often manage a high volume of order changes, including order cancellations, while simultaneously running both picking and replenishment waves. In some situations, customer orders tied to a picking wave may be canceled, but the associated replenishment activity is still required to maintain inventory levels in the warehouse.
To support this operational need, a new Cancel Picking Allocations Only action is now available in the Wave Inquiry screen for Replenishment with Picking Waves. This allows you to cancel only the picking allocations associated with a wave while preserving the replenishment allocations.
Key Considerations
- Available only for Replenishment with Picking Waves
- Cancels only the picking allocations for the selected wave
- Retains all existing replenishment allocations
- Regenerates the Wave Pick Info output file, if configured
- Does not regenerate the Replenishment Wave Pick Info file, since replenishment allocations remain unchanged
Automatically handles all related updates, including:
- Tasks
- Orders
- Inventory History Transactions (IHTs)
- Other associated picking allocation records
When the action is selected, the system displays a confirmation message prompting the user to proceed with the cancellation of picking allocations only.
NOTE: The action is enabled only when the selected wave is a Replenishment with Picking Wave and picking activity for the wave has not yet started.
Steps to enable and configure
Steps to Enable
To use this feature:
- Ensure the user has the same permissions required for the Undo Wave action.
- Verify the facility parameter UNDO_WAVE_EVEN_AFTER_PICKING is configured appropriately for your operational policies.
- Optionally configure the Wave Pick Info output file generation if outbound wave files are used in your environment.
NOTE: If picking has already started, the action remains unavailable, even if replenishment processing is still in progress.
