Pick and Pack Grouping Functionality

If you overwrite a ship to address in the sales order screen, and then attempt a pick and pack, pick and pack does not create different delivery notes for each different address.  This is because pick and pack groups all the delivery notes with the same address code into the same entry.  Instead it needs to distinguish upon the address value rather than its code.
A workaround was provided as follows:
As you can see by releasing to Pick List the Delivery Address on the row, you have to release all Sales Orders related to one Ship to Address together and separately from group of Sales Orders related to another Ship to Address.
In that case each Release to Pick List will have his own Pick Number and then if you pick all Sales Orders for one customer together, the Deliveries will be issued for each Ship to address separately regarding the Pick Number.
He has indicated this is not suitable due to the manual and timely procedure involved.  As a result they need the "deliver" function to not organize anything by delivery address, and ideally have the option to set NO grouping to be applied.  SAP have indicated that as this is new functionality, it will need to be logged via this forum.

Hi M,
I am not sure whether this solution works for you .Instead of throwing an alert , can you set up default network printer that  when document is added ,it would be printed directly to warehouse .You can set up that Through system initialization--- Print preference --pick list --print when added document . Set up default printer as network printer .
It seems practical but throwing alert based on on each user and send alert to only one  user might be complicated one.
Hope this helps

  • Missing Functionality: Copy from orders and pick and pack functions

    When I create a delivery note from the Sales A/R Delivery menu using the "Copy from" function and select two or more orders having different payment methods, system show me one delivery notes and alerts me that orders have two different payment terms.
    If i do the same in the Pick and Pack selecting lines from different orders, system show me one delivery notes without alerts me that orders have two different payment terms.
    This behavior is contradictory. The system should have same behaviour in the "Copy from" functionality and in Pick and Pack.

  • Picking and Packing manager

    Hello everyone,
    A customer uses the Pick and Pack functionality of SAP Business One to process the deliveris for up to 100 sales orders at a time (an average of about 400 lines in the picking list). In version 2007A SP 01 PL08 this function consumes a lot of memory, it takes a long time to deliver results and sometimes it causes the system to crash. I checked the SAP notes related to the Pick and Pack tool and found that this is indeed a problem but I am not certain whether it has been solved for good. According to what I got from the notes, the version my customer uses should not have this problem.
    I upgraded the customer's database to 8.8 SP 00 PL 13, moved it to a bigger server and we ran several tests. The system works fine with the usual load (100 orders, 400 lines) but we ran a test where the 100 orders contained over 2000 lines and the system crashed displaying a message about insufficient memory.
    What I would like to know if the performance problems related to the Picking and Packing manager have been solved, if so in what circumstances, what are the maximum number of lines or sales orders that SBO can handle without crashing, and whether there exists a particular process that could be followed to ensure that the tool presents the best performance.
    I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue.
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    HLB
    PS. The server that we are working on with version 8.8 are the following:
    2 Intel Xeon Quad processors (2.6 GHz)
    12 GB RAM Memory
    around 300 GB hard disk
    Windows Server 2003 R2 (64bits)

    Hi,
    I suggest you to use the server that have minimum 16 GB memories.
    The SAP B1 can run either in 64 bit or 32 bit servers. In this case, it is better to use 64 bit.
    So, SAP can run in such memories.
    After the server spec is upgraded, you must upgrade the B1 version from 13 to 16. Let see if it solved the issue.
    We have B1 customer that have more than 1000 rows in its PO and processing 200 POs everyday but have no problem in the performance since they use sun server quadcore processors and 16 gb memories

  • Modified Pick and pack screen

    1-I create a check box on the Pick & pack
    selection screen. I'm using the 'top' property to position my check box at
    the same horizontal level than the 'expand' button. But the check box
    appears much higher than I expected. When I check the 'top' property of
    the check box and the 'expand' button, I have the same value
    nonetheless. Am I forgetting something ?
    2-I want to modify the 'pick and pack' manager
    screen to have the same selection of fields in the matrix but based on a
    slightly different criteria. Is there an easy way to do that ? I would rather
    avoid to build a whole new screen. So I have tried to connect the matrix
    to a user defined table, but I'm getting an error message:"Item - The item is
    not a user defined item"

    Hi Carl,
    1) What do you mean by "much higher then I Expected"? The elements should line up nicely by their top. A button is higher then a checkbox, so they will not line up at the center, btu at the top...
    2) First a note; there will be major changes for the pick and pack manager in the next release of SB1 (2006 version) so you might want to keep in mind that you have to rebuild everything in the near future.
    Concerning your problem; it's correct that you aren't allowed to change a system matrix. One solution could be to set the visability of the system Matrix to false, and add a own Matrix on top of it. Note that you have to create the neccassery functionality for that Matrix yourself.
    Hope this helps,

  • Items are deleted from the Pick and Pack list.

    Hallo,
    one customer of mine has a problem with the pick and pack list.
    First the pick and pack process is done according the the standard process. Everything is fine. Customer prints delivery note and also the invoice.
    One day or two days later (it is no always the same) the items disappear from the pick and pack list. The ID of the list stays there but you cannot see any articel any more.
    Version: 8.81 PL08
    I would be very thankful for any comments.
    Franz

    Dear Gordon,
    thank you very much for the reply.
    No, we have no done any update at this cliente but since we are using the pick and pack functionality at this customer, we have this problem.

    Franz

  • Pick and Pack Speed Issues

    Currenly we upgraded from PL14 to PL29 in which we have see a great speed in most functions.
    We have a separate location that connects to the database with a T1 GB connection. They have had a few issues with connection.
    The customer service department runs the Pick and Pack Manager every day to see what is open based on specifc items.
    Prior to the update it took 10-25 seconds to run the query, now after the update it takes 2-4 minutes to run.
    Has anyone experienced this issue and is there an known fix?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    Dear
    We have some known issue about pick and pack. don't know if they are relevant. here are the notes regarding pick and pack performance issue. some of them are still under processing and not released to customer.
    NOTE 1160665 - Performance problem when opening Pick and Pack manager
    *Symptom of this issue: *
    You open the Pick and Pack Manager window (Inventory -> Pick and Pack ->
    Pick and Pack Manager) and you run it according to certain selection
    criteria.
    It may take the window a long time to open even when the number of
    relevant documents for the chosen criteria is relatively small.
    You may check July Patch of 2005 SP1 to see if the note is included and issue is fixed.

  • Inactive customers not in pick and pack manager

    Hello,
    In 8.8 the inactive/on hold functionality has changed - according to SAP note 1480670 business partners who are set to 'Inactive' will not show in any 'choose from' lists. It appears that this also applies to the pick and pack manager - is there any way of changing this so that orders due are shown regardless of whether the customer is inactive or not?
    Many thanks,
    Kate

    Hi Kate,
    I have tested this , it is SAP System Behaviour. Inactive BP will not be available to be choosen in the Pick and Pack manager.

  • Negative Qty in Pick and Pack Manager

    Hi all, I've the following problem with SBO 2005A, is there someone who can help me?
    I need to print pick lists even if "qty available to release" is less than the open qty.
    Scenario is when I have to provide information to the wherehouse about sales order to prepare with goods already arrived but not yet registered in Sap.
    In other words: in the morning I receive goods from my supplier, in the late morning I must issue sales orders. I would need to print pick lists before acquiring goods (in Sap).
    Problem is that Sap checks available qty without considering Purchase Orders.
    example is:
    regarding article ABC
    qty in stock = 4
    qty in a PO = 100 (delivery date today)
    qty in a Sales Order = 30 (delivery date tomorrow)
    I would like to print a pick list with qty 30. Total available could be 74 (100+4 -30) or -26, it doesn't matter.
    At the moment the answer I have when I try to "allocate" 30 pieces in Pick and Pack Manager screen is "Released
    quantity exceedes available quantity [message 81-13]
    Is there a way to make it working as I want?
    Thanks in advance

    I have the same problem at my client site and I think we need to rethink the logic for the Pick and Pack Manager.  What if inventory quantity is wrong?  Or, what if you need visibility of the whole Sales Order in the warehouse and the shipping people do not have access to the Sales Order module.  I suggest you allow the user to print Sales Order Items on the Pick List that, according to Sap, does not have availability.  The Picker could find sufficient quantity on the shelf or the order may need to be partially picked and staged until the rest of the order becomes available. 
    If you check the Block Negative Inventory box in Document Settings, then prevent the zero quantity item from appearing on the Pick List.

  • How to process an output message after pick and pack in LM46?

    Hi,
    I've implemented the User Exit to print the HU using LM18, it's working great but no output message is processed (and indeed, the sticker is printed on my own printer instead of the one defined in my Z custom output message).
    I used LM46 to pick and pack the HU, am i missing a step?
    In other words, how to process my custom output message after the pick and pack?
    Is there some code I must add in the LM18 User Exit?

    You know, in a user exit or a BADi you can access any variable of the program you want.
    Just find what which program calls the Exit User, put a break-point in it, and find the variable you need to access.
    Then add this kind code in your Exit :
    DATA: l_var TYPE ....
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_var>    TYPE ANY.
    ASSIGN ('(PGMNAME)variable') TO <fs_var>.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      l_var = <fs_var>.
    ENDIF.
    Same thing for a table :
    DATA: lt_var TYPE TABLE OF....
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_var>    TYPE ANY.
    ASSIGN ('(PGMNAME)table[]') TO <fs_var>.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      lt_var[] = <fs_var>.
    LOOP AT lt_var ASSIGNING ...
    ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.

  • RF Pick and Pack delivery sequence going by material rather than bin locati

    Hi All,
    During picking and packing through RF we are entering the TO number and after that packaging barcode. Everything is working fine but transaction has some kind of logic where its taking the warehouse picker around different aisles based upon material rather than bin location.
    Transaction for wave/discrete picking doesn't have this problem.
    Can someone please advise how to fix this?
    Thanks

    TO sort profile is setup for picking correctly but nothing for picking and packing. For some reason picking sort profile is not kicking in when using picking and packing.
    Any other suggestions???

  • Orders for On-hold Customers in Pick and Pack

    If a Customer is placed on hold after an order is loaded, then the order appears to flow through the pick and pack process until you attempt to add the Delivery, when you are prevented.
    Is there any way to prevent orders for Customer who are on-hold from appearing within Pick and Pack Manager?  We are wasting time picking orders and getting to the despatch stage only to find out that the Customer is on hold so we can't despatch the goods.

    Thanks Gordon, I finally found the time to follow your advice.
    In case it is at all useful to anyone else the change I made to Transaction Notification was as follows
    IF     @transaction_Type IN (N'A',N'U')
    AND     @object_type = 156
      BEGIN
         IF EXISTS (
              SELECT          T1.AbsEntry
              FROM          OPKL T1
              INNER JOIN     PKL1 T2
                   ON     T1.AbsEntry = T2.AbsEntry
              INNER JOIN     ORDR T3
                   ON     T2.OrderEntry = T3.DocEntry

  • Pick and Pack - Cant add the Delivery transaction Directly

    Hi All,
    Upon selecting the Orders in Pick and Pack Manager and Selecting the Deliver Option, delivery screen opens for every order that we have selected for which we need to add and confirm the Delivery.
    Thus if I have 100+ sales orders in Pick n Pack I need to add the Delivery transaction 100+ times.
    Is there any alternative way where Delivery Transaction is added automatically like u add Purchase Order from Order Recommendation.?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I think there is no way to add all the Orders directly to Delivery by single shot in Default SBO( U have to add one by one delivery ), For achieve this u have to try with SDK only.
    Also  as u said if ur making 100+ delivers from 100+order at single shot then in SAP all the deliver entries will be posted but at the end of the day if u have not deliverd some of the deliveries and these time it will be a problem (Bcoz physically items will be in ur stock ).. so u have to think on this terms....
