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.

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

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 AMHi 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???

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

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,
CraigDear
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.

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!
FranciscoHi,
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.
Thanks,

Does B1WS support Pick and Pack operations?
Hello,
Does anyone know if B1WS supports Pick and Pack operations? Specifically I would like to add pick quantities to a released pick list. Even better would be to assign serial numbers at the same time.
Regards
MatthewHi Eddy,
We have an external standalone application that is in need to let the user Fulfill a Pick List (a clerk would use the application to pick the items and then save those back to SAP). The application would use SAP 8.8 Web Services.
If Pick List fulfillment is not something that is supported by the current B1WS, could you please suggest a different standard method for an application to do this? If no standard method exists, what are other alternatives?
Thanks,

I want to buy a hard case for my macbook pro, but I don't know what year it is. When I use the serial number to try and find out, all it says is, "~VIN,MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)". When I type that into amazon for a case it gives me nothing!

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 advanceI 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.
