Considerations for Material Sort Criteria

Use material sort criteria to specify a priority to the sorting criteria. You can do this by assigning priority levels, with priority 1 being of highest priority and priority 3 being of lowest priority.

The sort criteria can be based on four different attributes; Lot, Locator, Subinventory, and Revision. Before assigning material sort criteria priorities, consider this question:

• What sort criteria is relevant to the picking rule you're creating?

Relevance to the picking rule

Consider the relevance of the sort criteria to the picking rule you're creating. For example, if the picking rule you're creating is primarily aimed at lots, then select sort criteria that will assist you in sorting by lots; lot number ascending or lot number descending.
