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:

  1. Ensure the user has the same permissions required for the Undo Wave action.
  2. Verify the facility parameter UNDO_WAVE_EVEN_AFTER_PICKING is configured appropriately for your operational policies.
  3. 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.
