Inventory Picking Rules

Hi
This is in Oracle EBS 11i.
We defined the inventory picking rule as Lot Control = None, Order Revision = Null, Subinventory = Null, Locator = Null.
What is the default logic that Oracle picks up when allocating inventory to Pick Move Orders in this case? We checked multiple scenarios and it appeared random
Next we defined a new inventory picking rule as Lot Control = Receipt Date, Order Revision = Null, Subinventory = Null, Locator = Null.
We assigned this to the item but then when we allocated the inventory to Pick Move orders, the allocation did not change from the earlier case when the Lot Control was None.
Any idea.
Thanks

Hi,
You need to mentioned the pick rule name in the organization parameter fot the respective inventory organization.
Responsibility: Inventory Superuser or similar
Navigation: Setup -> Organizations -> Parameters
ATP, Pick, Item-Sourcing tab.
Enter the picking rule name in the Rule field in the Picking Defaults section.
Thanks,
PS.

Unable to create Picking Rule

Hi Gurus,
I am unable to create picking rule in N->Inv->Setup->Rules->Picking using this navigation.
I have created rule and selected required parameters in the screen, click on save, getting message as "1 transaction completed, saved", If i query same name in Inventory picking rule form, unable to locate the same.
Please let me know where I miss the setups, profile option for seeing created picking rules.
Thanks
AK

Just Enable it in the header, goto tools and generate the corresponding package.
If you are in R12+, then you will also need to associate it with an organization by clicking on assign button.
Thanks,

WMS PICK Rule for WIP Comp Pick Release

Hello,
I want to use WMS Pick rule for picking only some parts using com pick release.
Scenario: I have a FG item which has routing operations at 10,20 30 respt.
During comp pick release I want to pick only those comp which are used at op seq 10.
i.e Allocation should happen only for parts required at op seq 10, parts at other stations needs to be unallocated.
Can I tried to define WMS Pick rule using WIP requirement and Operation Sequence in criteria but not able to allocate only parts at op seq 10.
In WCB I can see all tasks.
Pick Rule
            WIP Requirements Operation Sequence Number >= Constant number 10
AND    WIP Requirements Operation Sequence Number < Constant number    20
AND    WIP Job                 Status type                        = Constant number       3
Also in Rules Workbench this rule has been added and assigned to transaction source as Job/Schedule
Please advise if I am missing anysetups.
Regards,
Tushar

In Rules Workbench transaction source needs to be inventory instead of Job/Schedule

WMS Picking Rule

How to set up picking rule when I want to pick only those lots where lot # matches with PO # on the sales order. I used this expression select cust_po_number from oe_order_headers_all oeh
where mln.lot_number =oeh.cust_po_number but it is not working all the time. I think I need to use sales order line or mtl system items tabel also in this join? If that's true do I need to use these table also in the rule somewhere else..

Hi friends
Can anyone please tell me
Is it possible to create a wip sample with inventory validity rule in the item Specification?
I have an item which is a wip (product) item and has validity rule defined for inventory. can i create a sample from the batch for it with inventory validity rule in the specification.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jay
How are you.
Yes, in process sampling only.
Is it not neccessary to have a wip validity rule for wip products in the specs. I am able to create samples for wip products with inventory validity rule.

WMS Picking Rule: Disallow picking from partially reserved LPN

Hi ,
We have a requirement where we want a discrete job to reserve materials only from those LPN where there is no prior allocation.
for example:
Discrete Job1 requires 8 quantities of component A.
LPN001 has 10 quantity of item A.
Job1 should reserve 8 quantity of item from LPN001. Subsequently no reservation should be allowed for 2 available quantity of item A from LPN001 till the discrete Job1 is completed.

Picking rule

Dear All,
We are implementing WMS in a company which deals into trading of Food products.The picking strategy defined here is SLED.Now for supermarkets there requirement is Minimum remaining shelf life should be at least 6 months prior to expiry date This is ok for outside customers but for Stock transfer order they want that stuffs which are going to expire soon can be delivered can we acheive this in sap.Also if i can change the picking list by manual intervention is it possible to restrict that this can be authorised to a particular user or a group of user.
Regards
Bhushan Kumar

Hi,
You can define a pick rule with the below restriction
Actual Transaction ---Transaction Primary Quantity = Expression (SQL statement)
SQL should have the restriction for the transacted item = item present in this lot.
Make sure that you have added this rule in a strategy and is in the first place in the rules work bench

How do I "Recompile your picking rules" after the latest INV/RCV RP 20?

Hi,
I am an apps DBA and we've patched up to the new support baseline (trial run) for extended support on 11i, and it includes INV/RCV rollup patch 20 (patch 1086420.1). One of the post-steps in the metalink for this patch (Note 1086420.1) is to "Recompile your picking rules". How do I do this? I'd need to be the "Manufacturing Super User GUI" -correct? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It might be about running the program Generate All Rules in WMS. This a PL/SQL package which compiles all rules.
Please check the option and let us know how it goes.
Thanks,

How to get the right Serial Number during Pick Release

Please we need your help to get the right serial number => Auto-Allocate on YES, Pick Confirm with NO.
A problem is occurring during the Pick Release process. Custom code has been added to the hook INV_DETAIL_SERIAL_PUB to provide the Pick Release process with the serial number to pick for the item being pick released. The hook works and the Pick Release process picks the correct (specified) serial number. However, at some point later in the Pick Release process the lot number is chosen and the process seems to pick the first lot number it finds available for the item – it does not take into account the serial number provided by the hook. This causes the Pick Release process to fail when the lot number chosen is not the lot number linked to the serial number. Has anyone else encountered this same issue?
An example:
Item ABC123
Serial SER001 – Lot LOT001
Serial SER002 – Lot LOT002
Serial SER003 – Lot LOT003
Item ABC123 is being pick released.
The customised hook provides the Pick Release process with serial SER002.
The Pick Release process correctly uses SER002, but chooses lot LOT001.
thanks!
Francisco

Hi,
I guess you have added the code at slightly different place.
Pick Release Process will always allocate lots based on Inventory Picking Rule (or WMS Pick Strategy if you are using WMS).
So if you want to override that you much first delete the MTLT record (inv_trx_util_pub.delete_lot_ser_trx), then insert MTLT with your Lot number (inv_trx_util_pub.insert_lot_trx)..then insert MSNT (inv_trx_util_pub.insert_ser_trx) with your serial number.
Ensure that transaction_temp_id on MSNT should match with SERIAL_TRANSACTION_TEMP_ID on MTLT table.

How to use Pick Release Rule while doing pick relase from API.

Hi All,
I need to Pick Release the Order based on pick release rule through and API. I am using WSH_DELIVERY_PUB to do Pick release/confirm.
I did not find any parameter in the API which allows to use Picking rules for Pick Release.
Is there any way we can do the PICK RELEASE using Picking Rule through APIs.
Any information on this will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sreenivasa Gurani.

Hi Srini,
You need to use WSH_PICK_LIST.RELEASE_BATCH API, this one has two parameters
1. p_batch_id -- Get it from WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS tables
2. p_log_level -- Not requires
Or
By Using this API you create the Batch
WSH_PICKING_BATCHES_PUB.CREATE_BATCH -- This API Returns Batch id
use this batch_id for WSH_PICK_LIST.RELEASE_BATCH
Thanks

Picking

Hi Gurus,
My requirement is: Client maintains Four sub inventory, all items are laying in all sub Inventories. Purpose is difference of all sub inventories like:
One Sub inventory - Bulk Pick Area (all items will be packed in boxes ex: 100 items in one box)
Second Sub inventory - Loose Pick Area (Same item will be placed in loose pieces, not packed one)
If customer places an order for 120 pieces, they pick One Box (100 pcs) from first sub inventory and 20 pieces from Loose pick area.
How this works in Oracle apps?
If we generates Pick slip report system is picking based on Picking rules based on ascending order priority given in Sub-Inventory. If Items unavailable in first sub inventory, it will move to pick the items in Loose pick area.
If we want to achieve above requirement, wants to generate pick slip, how to achieve this in Oracle apps, please advise setups or rules in WMS?
Thanks

Is Subinventory Transfer Possible after Picking?

We're currently preparing a Conference Room Pilot (CRP) 2 for an important client, a big Fast Moving Consumer Goods company. The client wants to use its Shipping Trucks as Subinventories under WMS-enabled Warehouses/Inventory Organisations. Goods are considered unsold and are still in Inventory when they are in Trucks. Goods are considered sold only when they are delivered by the salesmen/driver. The latter will issue an invoice through a mobile handheld during delivery.
There are picking locators in the warehouse, and when sales orders are received, they are picked from the warehouse and then loaded into the lorry. According to Oracle WMS, if we use the Line Flow Generic workflow in Order Mgt, move orders will be automatically created (pick wave move orders) and these can only be transacted using Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications and WMS picking rules. Now, we know that when picking is done in WMS, the goods go to the default staging subinventory and then these are shipped to Trucks and considered sold (ship confirm). However considering the above issue, can we bypass the staging subinventory, and move it directly to Trucks (which are diff. sub inventories) and then from there shipping is done to client?

For one customer we tried to avoid using staging at all. Customer didn't have staging step.
So we made an experiment - new trigger on MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP was created. Trigger (in picking scenarios) replaced To_Subinventory and To_Locator.
Finally this trigger was not used (we found another way). Also I can't confirm You that it's correct modification of OeBS. It's on Your risk.
I think this can be used in Your situation.
Best regards,
Eugene

Mobile WMS Pick Load - Question in MWA application

Hi ,
I am not very much familiar with OAF, MWA technologies. I am given a requirement as detailed below. Please help me with the solution.
In the page "Mobile WMS Pick Load" , there are some fields like Sub Inventory, Item, Req_Qty etc fields and all of them have a "Confirm" field for each of them.
But there is a field called "Xfer LPN" but there is no "Confirm" field for that. My customer wants to have "Confirm" field for "Xfer LPN".
So I tried to look at the field definitions and noticed that there is a field "MAIN.XFER_LPN_CONFIRM" field. So I checked the properties for this filed. Especially, the "Rendered" is set to True. But this fioeld is not seen on screen.
So My question to you is :
1) Is that teh correct fieeld that captures the "Confirmation" for the Xfer_LPN"? If so, why is it not displayed on the screen inspite of the "endered " is set to True?
2) How can we meet this requirements?
Please help me with this issue. Thanks
Regards,
..

Rather than directly answering to this question, we will first understand the requirement.
Why we need a confirm field for Subinventory and locator etc.
- Whenever you do picking, the pick rules suggest you the sub, loc etc on the mobile screen. Now the picker need to confirm the above details to say the system that he is ok with the suggestions that are shown on the mobile screen. In some cases, they may need to override the suggestions suggested by the system. To allow that, we are having one extra field to confirm all the details that got populated automatically.
whereas in your case it is xferLPN field which is already an editable field. Except in few cases, this field won't get the value populated. User need to enter the details manually. If system suggests the value but the picker need to override, then we can do it on the same field. So there is no question of having one extra field to confirm the XferLPN.

How can i make it update INVENTORY without going thru shipping module?
thanks.

Hi Jay
How are you.
Yes, in process sampling only.
Is it not neccessary to have a wip validity rule for wip products in the specs. I am able to create samples for wip products with inventory validity rule.
