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.

DI: Pick and Pack manager and related issues

Hi All,
I am attempting to replicate the pick and pack manager from within a third party application. Does anyone have sample code on how to accomplish this? I also want to update the picked qty on the original order, but it seems as if the property is read only.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adele

Hi,
We have created a HighRack addon, which handling storage places (high warehouses), and I write my pick&pack manager.
So write me down,what you would like to do, if the problem is actual till now.

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.

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

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

Error in pick and pack manager

Hello all,
I've got a strange error that I am hoping someone can help me understand.
I have two items we'll call them A and B, and this is my process
Create Sales order for item A, move through pick and pack process to delivery, no issue.
Create Sales order for Item B, move through pick and pack process to delivery, no issue.
Create Sales order including both Item A and Item B, move through pick and pack to delivery, error
"Partial Delivery Not allowed for this order"
All items are in stock and avaialble, partial deliver is not allowed, but I am not trying to partiall deliver.
I am attempting to deliver the full amount and it will not let me do it from pick and pack.
As a work around, I am able to deliver from the Pick list, from the order, and can do a 'copy from' on a new delivery and these all work.
I just can't deliver the order from the Pick and pack manager 'picked' tab.
Any ideas?
kind regards,
Lucas

Hi!
Please do this steps and let me knw !
1. Create sales Order for Item A and B. (select the warehouse which is having instock / also Available should high or equal)
2. Open Pick and Pack. select open sales orders
3. Release the SO
4. Open Pick List. Inventory > Pick and Pack > Pick List
5. Type the Pick Qty on tht window and add the Pick List
6. Open Pick and Pack Manager, select Picked option
7. Select the Check box and Do Delivery .

Creating delivery through Pick and Pack manager.

Hi All,
I have code written in the addmode and update mode of the add button of delivery window.There is a checking in the pVal.beforeAction=true part and if that checking is true there is code part which runs on pVal.BeforeAction=false.This works fine when we add delivery through standard delivery note window.The problem is that when I try to add delivery through pick and pack manager,the codepart on pVal.BeforeAction=false not executing.Checking on pVal.BeforeAction=true works fine.But later part missing in execution.Anybody encountered this problem before? Can anybody suggest a work around to solve this?
Thanx,
Deepesh

Hi Deepash,
If the window closes after adding the afterAction is never thrown, this is a known "issue".
A good solution might be using the Form_Data_Add /Form_Data_Update event.

Serial Number in Pick and Pack

Is there a way to enter the Serial Number during the Pick and Pack process? Can you have the Serial Number in placed before the Delivery is done?
Please advise. Thank you.

Thanks, Nagesh. That confirmed my suspicion.
This is the business scenario.
The operations and the warehouse are in different locations. For items with serial numbers, the operations call up the store to get the serial number before they can issue the Delivery Order. The turn around time can be long.
If the warehouse people can enter the Serial Number during Picking, then the Operations can just convert them into Delivery Order.
Alas, this cannot be done in SBO.

Partial delivery in Pick and Pack Manager

Hi All,
I have two issues in Pick and Pack Manager,
I am not able to pick partial quantity in Pick and Pack manager or Pick list, even if Sales order is set to "Allow Partial Delivery".
I have a sales order with 1 inventory item and 1 non-inventory item. When I release the order for picking only inventory item is shown to be picked that is fine. After the order has been pick and I create Manual Delivery or Automatic Delivery, if the order is set to "Allow Partial Delivery" then Delivery is created but the non-inventory item Qty is shown as zero on delivery. When the order is not set to "Allow Partial Delivery" then system gives a message "Order cannot be copied partially". Why is the Qty not being copied to Delivery? Is this patch level issue?
Document setting for Pick List:
Automatically copy all open rows from the sales order or reserve invoice - Is ticked
Consider Sales Document Settings for Partial Delivery in the Pick and Pack Process - Is ticked
SAP Business One 9.0 PL: 09
Am I missing any step.
Thanks
Varun

Hi,
Please refer SAP note:

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.

BAPI for Picking and Post Goods Issue ?

Hi All,
Is there any BAPI for doing Picking and Post Goods Issue in VL02N ? I don't think we can use BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE.
Is it advisable to use BAPI or BDC ( if no BAPI exist ). Thanks in Advance.

BAPI for picking in VL02N
BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_SAVEREPLICA

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,
Rowdy

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
UT
Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Feb 6, 2012 8:37 AM

Hi Frenchy
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???
Thanks
