| # Function: Picking This function controls all picking operations to be performed. Outbound advices are generated with reference to the method used by picking, for example, order versus wave picking. Picking is usually initiated by orders generated outside Warehouse Management, such as sales, service, or production. Process: Pick goods, advanced (MWH04a) The objective of this process is to issue goods from the warehouse in an advanced environment. By means of an outbound advice, you can determine the items to be picked. You can pick These items are either picked by outbound advice or by a more advanced picking list, printed based on pick sequence. If the goods to be picked are not on hand, you can generate a cross-dock order. When goods arrive at the warehouse, these goods can be picked immediately without first storing the goods. For more information, see "Receive Goods, advanced" ( Function: Receipt). If you use handling units, you can also generate an outbound advice for a specific handling unit. As a result, this handling unit is included on the pick lists. The handling unit performs all recordings of the outbound transactions. If inspections are required, you must perform these inspections after picking. Assumptions: No assumptions apply in this case. IT support: LN Warehouse Management, Procedure Process: Pick goods, basic (MWH04b) The objective of this process is to issue goods from the warehouse in a very simple way through the shortest procedure possible. Assumptions: For the basic process, an assumption exists that the picking is performed without the use of picking lists. In addition, handling units and cross docking are not used and outbound inspections are not performed. IT support: LN Warehouse Management, Outbound Procedure Process: Pick goods, over-the-counter-sales (code: MWH04c) The objective of this process is to support picking in an over-the-counter sales situation. This situation is applicable if the customer is waiting for the item at the counter, which requires a very fast picking procedure with as few steps as possible. This procedure also describes the difference between this process and the regular picking processes (MWH04 a/b). Assumptions: No assumptions apply in this case.
