Assess Reports to Pick Materials for Work Orders

To ensure material-tracking and timely availability of materials to the staging area of production, you can initiate the Pick Materials for Work Orders scheduled process in the Work Execution work area. After the scheduled process runs and completes successfully, you can view the generated reports in the Scheduled Processes work area.

Follow these steps:

  1. In the Scheduled Processes work area, search for Pick Materials for Work Orders. You can also use the Process ID as the basis for your search.

  2. In the Search Results area, click the Attachment in the Log and Output area after the status of the scheduled process displays as succeeded

  3. Search for Print Materials Worker for the Work Orders which is a subordinate scheduled process. It displays the following information:

    • Scheduled process parameters

    • Movement request number

    • Details of work order

    • Operation number

    • Required date for the materials

    • Required quantity of materials

    • Previously picked quantity of materials

    • Remaining quantity for allocation

    • Allocation quantity

    • Unit of measure for materials

    • Error message if there are some materials that cannot be allocated due to shortage

  4. Search for Print Movement Request Pick Slip which is another subordinate scheduled process. It displays the following information:

    • Scheduled process parameters

    • Number of work orders selected

    • Number of work orders allocated for pick release

    • Number of work orders not allocated for pick release

    • Pick slip number

    • Movement request number

    • Source subinventory

    • Destination subinventory

    • Work order number

    • Operation sequence

    • Work area

    • Work center

    • Number of subordinate scheduled processes and their process identifiers

    Note: The Print Movement Request Pick Slip Report is generated only if you had selected the Print pick slip parameter check box before submitting the picking request.

If you have the required access to the Inventory work area, you can select the Manage Movement Requests task and use the details in the Print Movement Request Pick Slip Report to query for your movement requests. The following details are common for all work order material picking movement requests:

  • Movement Request Type: Shop floor

  • Transaction Type: Work in Process Pick

In the Inventory work area, you can also select the Confirm Pick Slip task and query your pick slip based on the work order type and the work order number. You can then enter the picked quantity, select the pick slip lines, and perform the confirm pick slip action.

The picked quantity of the material is either directly issued to the work order or is transferred to the destination subinventory.

After you have assessed all the reports in the Scheduled Processes work area, and performed the Confirm Pick Slip action in the Inventory work area, you can check if the allocated quantity and the picked quantity values are updated for a work order operation.

The allocated quantity is updated and displayed when the movement request is created for the work order operation item. The picked quantity is updated and displayed when the pick slip is confirmed. You can view the updated values for these quantities on the following pages:

  • Edit Operation Items tab on the Edit Work Orders page

  • Material Availability Details tab on the Manage Material Availability Assignments page.
