EOB - Warehousing – Discrete Picking

QAD Warehousing Picking Objectives • Understand Picking Concepts • Pick Orders 2

QAD Inventory Control vs. WMS 3 QAD Inventory Control QAD Warehousing One picking logic Multiple picking logics per transaction type, item type, and/or warehouse Entire site is considered Picking by warehouse(s) Pick only by date, expiry date, location OR lot Pick by area, then by date, expiry date, and/or location No splitting pallets/cases Pick by full pallet, split pallets or boxes, SKU, optionally with overpicking No RF picking: • Normal picking • Bulk picking • Batch picking

Discrete, Bulk and Batch Types of Picking • Discrete = One Order • Batch = Multiple Orders, Sort on Pick (aka Cluster) • Bulk = Multiple Orders, Sort Later (aka Batch) DYK: Discrete is used for single order picks, bulk and batch are for multiple order picks 4

Can you split unit loads? Picking Properties Split = yes Split = No DYK: Splitting containers allows you to pick a less than full pallet/case/box quantity. 5

Can you over pick? Picking Properties Customer Order: 130 EA Over pick= yes DYK: Over picking allows you to pick more inventory than what is called on the pick task Over pick= No 1 PL = 100 EA 6

Picking Levels define pick zones Picking Properties Warehouse Start Picking Level: 10 End Picking Level: 30 1 Picking Level: 10 Picking Level: 40 7 2 Picking Level: 20 Picking Level: 50 3 Picking Level: 30 DYK: Picking levels are used to determine the zone (SLG) priority for selecting inventory.

EOB - Warehousing Discrete Picking Process Flow 9

Example Setup and execute a discrete pick • Create an order and run pick-list or preshipper • Use RF to pick orders • Review what happens as items are picked • Review inventory positions post pick 10

Example: Discrete Picking Create a sales order for 126 each, 03120 Sales Order Maintenance 11

Example: Discrete Picking There is enough inventory in all Zones Notice there is enough inventory in all three pick zones. Box Each Pallet 12

Example: Discrete Picking Release the sales order to the warehouse Pick-List/Pre-shipper - Automatic DYK: Discrete picking relies on pick-lists generated through QAD EE, but bulk picking uses more sophisticated algorithms in QAD WHing 13

Example: Discrete Picking Review the pending pick activity 14

Discrete Picking Two Key Learning Points 1. QAD Warehousing optimizes picking by the most efficient handling unit of measure 2. The previous box and each pick process can be improved…how? 19

Example Reduce wasted time driving and dropping Drive to 040 BX 001 Drive to Packaging 20 Drive to 040 EA 001 Drive to 040 BX 001 Drive to Packaging

Example : Reduce travel Pick an order complete Drive to 040 BX 001 Drive to Packaging 21 Drive to 040 EA 001 Drive to 040 BX 001 Drive to Packaging

Example: TEST = Success How? Use RF 3 -2 BP Pick All… Select the order Drive to 040 BX 001 <Enter> then F 1 Drive to 040 EA 001 22 Pick 1 box Drive to Packaging Pick 1 box

QAD Warehousing Picking Key Learning Points • QAD Warehousing supports most picking best practices • QAD Warehousing provides much deeper picking functionality than QAD Core • Your order profile and operation performance targets will dictate your picking strategies • Location sequence could impact pick routes 23
