Wave Template

The “Pack With Wave” flag needs to checked on the wave template.

  • The wave template needs to be configured so that cubing occurs during the wave.
  • The system does not allow the creation of a wave template if both Replenishment Rule is populated and the “Pack With Wave” flag is configured as Yes. This is to avoid automatic packing of inventory from potential in-transit quantity.
  • Although the system allows the creation of the wave template when both “Pack With Wave” and “Wave Pick Info” flags are enabled, you should exercise caution when enabling “Pack With Wave” in this scenario.
    • If the intention is to only pick and pack via MHE based on cubing in WMS, then the “Pack With Wave” flag can be enabled.
    • However if the intention is to track pick and pack operations performed by MHE, then the “Pack With Wave” flag should not be enabled.
  • If the Pack With Wave” flag is enabled and the allocation mode sequence is configured with the MHE system for performing distribution, then distribution takes precedence. This is because if the cubing rule is configured along with distribution (which is not a recommended configuration), then distribution takes precedence and cubing is not performed.
  • Although the system allows the creation of a wave template when “Pack With Wave” flag is enabled and the task creation rule is populated, you should configure task creation only for items that are not eligible for “Pack With Wave.”
Note: Item eligibility is described in Item Configuration.
