Schedule Pick Wave
Use the Schedule Pick Wave scheduled process for creating pick waves to pick release shipment lines.
Before using the process, you should define the pick wave release rules. The process uses the pick wave release rule for demand selection, fulfillment, and processing criteria.
When to Use
Use this process when you want to create pick waves at predefined times and intervals. Define and use different release rules in the process when you want to use different selection criteria and processing criteria for creating pick waves at different times and intervals.
