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.
Update Order Quantity on Partially Allocated Order Details
You can reduce the order quantity by the unallocated quantity of the order detail. When running a wave, the order detail is partially allocated, and the system updates the order detail quantity equal to the allocated quantity against the respective order.
- From the Wave Template UI, select the Wave Template.
- Click Edit icon.
- Enable the Cancel Partially Unallocated Flag to cancel the un-allocated
portions of the order detail quantity.
The following table shows the behavior of the Cancel Partially Unallocated flag when set to Yes/No:
Cancel Fully Unallocated Flag Cancel Partially Unallocated Flag Order Detail is not allocated (Allocated qty =0) Order Detail is partially allocated (Allocated qty > 0) Yes Yes Cancel the respective order detail Update the order detail quantity equal to allocated quantity for the respective order detail Yes No Cancel the respective order detail Don't update the Order Detail Quantity No Yes Don't Update the Order Detail Quantity Update the order detail quantity equal to the allocated quantity for the respective order detail No No Don't Update the Order Detail Quantity Don't update the Order Detail Quantity Note: When the "Cancel Partially Unallocated" flag is set to yes, after the order detail quantity is reduced, the system will write the Inventory History Transaction (IHT) "12 - Order Detail Shorted". - Click Save.
