Alllow SSCC to be selected from list when recommencing Ad Hoc Picking

Let's say we are ad-hoc picking an order in Produmex WMS. We partially pick it on to two pallets but don't complete the second pallet and leave some lines open to complete later. At this stage no ticket has been printed for second pallet as we have not completed the order and not hit "SSCC full". If we then come out of the order to do something else, then return to the order, the user is asked which pallet they are picking to. 

 

A list is presented of available SSCCs, so common sense would suggest you can just select the list item for the pallet you want to continue picking to and click next. However system enforces that you scan a ticket, but this ticket HAS NOT BEEN PRINTED by Produmex, so you are stuck!!! There is no configuration option to avoid forcing the SSSC scan at this stage

 

Unfortunately, only work around here seems to be to manually print a Goods Receipt template ticket via Checks option within application menu but ultimately it is really bad UX as it is time consuming / awkward to do this, and in any case it is the wrong document template used. You should simply be able to select the pallet on the screen to continue picking and then print the correct Sales order pallet ticket through the normal process. 

 

Alternatively, i guess if leaving the picking flow with a unprinted label you could force the ticket to print at that stage. But simply selecting from the list (which the application should clearly easily support) would be the simplest option.

  Hi Martin&Chris,

  This is a very physical oriented discussion what I like and shows the knowledge of the software that you already possess. 

  On similar cases what I advice is to select the last SSCC of the list, the higher number of the SSCC the later it was created. In rare cases where there are many pickers working for the same customer (then the last SSCC you were picking on may not be the last of the list cause other picker may generate one after you did) I add the pick list number to the "select SSCC" screen, then you know that you need to keep picking on the higher SSCC number from your pick list and no need of printing the label until it is not finished.

  Hello Boyum Team,

  This does not happen only for ad-hoc picking, for any standard picking where you interrupt the process. The issue is that it is not manageable, not having a barcoded label with SSCC at that point of picking requires the picker to manually enter the 18 char code which is prone to errors. 

   

  Thank you.
