It is currently not possible to allow over-picking on Replenishment work types.


I suggest removing this restriction to, when configured, allow warehouse workers to do over-picking when completing warehouse replenishment work if there is sufficient available stock in the location to cover the additional quantity.


In warehouse implementations where there e.g. a carton contains a variable quantity of a product, unit conversions from say EA to Ctn cannot be applied.

In this case replenishment work generates for a set number of units (ea) which may be more or less than the quantity in a carton, however practically the worker completing the replenishment would want to pick a full carton (i.e. an over-pick), but is restricted from doing this.


Another case for removing the restriction is general flexibility. Even when unit conversions can be applied to products, it may be that it operationally makes sense to replenish more than the quantity suggested by the replenishment work.


Note: Could this perhaps be considered together with the long-standing idea to remove the over-picking restriction from Raw material picking? Microsoft Idea (dynamics.com)

Thank you for your feedback. Currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future.

I agree this would be useful. I have worked with several fashion retailers where the packing of items into cartons at the factory is inconsistent, so it would be very helpful for them

Automatic overpick on replenishment work from LP location


Scenario

Replenish - round up to full LP (with varying quantities)

 

The bulk location is LP controlled with multiple LPs with the same item. Unfortunately the quantity on per LP varies between 29 and 31 meter. Replenishment can be rounded to the full LP, and depending on if the location directive action is sorted on On hand physical quantity (asc), the work line quantity is equal to the lowest quantity on any of the LPs on the bulk location, assume 29 m. The worker can now scan any LP with the suggested qty 29 m.

However, if the worker scans the LP with 30 m (which would be fine), the system assumes that 29 m should be picked on a new target LP.

 

I am looking for a fool proof mobile process where the worker can also select a larger LP (and do an automatic overpick on the replenishment work).
