Picking from Stock for Job

Overview

Blank stock required for production job can come from two main sources - deliveries on orders specifically for the job, and from stock in the warehouse - or indeed a combination of both.

Where the stock requirements are coming from stock in the warehouse, they must be physically picked. As TOT uses random stock location, the blank stock items may be in numerous physical locations.

As part of the picking process, strokeone will indicate where the physical stock is located.

This topic outlines how staff use the system to establish where the blank stock is, and administer the quantities picked

Process

1. In strokeone navigate to Goods In , then To be Picked.
   

2. The to be picked layout opens and lists production jobs with blank stock picking requirements that have not been fully satisfied sorted by Date scheduled (i.e. date the production processes are scheduled to use the stock)
   
   

3. Each pick requirement can be assigned a priority by the warehouse manager and allocated to a member of the Goods In Staff to pick.
   

4. To aid in the efficient prioritisation, assigned and managing of workload, a series of Filter buttons exist at the bottom of the layout
   
   These function as follows:-

   Button	Comments
   To Be Picked	The default record set - records which have not had their pick requirement fully satisfied
   Can do a full pick (Fully allocated, not picked)	Pick requirements that can be  fully satisfied  from the warehouse
   Can do a part pick (part allocated, not picked)	Pick requirements that can be partially satisfied from the warehouse
   Might be able to pick (part allocated, part picked)	Pick requirements that can potentially be partially satisfied from the warehouse

5. Having selected a pick requirement to process - warehouse staff print out a corresponding picking report
   

6. The picking report details the garments together with their respective pick quantity requirement alongside the current locations
   
   

7. Using the report staff visit the locations and physically pick the required garments - and annotate on the pick report the quantities they have picked from each location
   

8. Once back at their desktops - staff update the corresponding electronic record with their pick details using the pick function, to call up the picking layout. Within the picking layout, staff click the corresponding pick button and specify the quantity they physically picked from each location.

9. Strokeone will update the picking status of the job - if all items required are fully satisfied the status will update to complete; if one or more of the requirements are not fully picked it will update to amber.
   

10. If not already boxed up - staff will box up the picked stock
    

11. The next stage is to label the picked stock  - this is done via the Print Label button
    
    Staff use Print Bulk label where the picked stock is pallet based (typically 10 boxes or more) else Print Label
    For Bulk Labels you will be first prompted for how many pallets hold the picked stock, and then for both label types, you will be prompted for how many boxes the picked stock is contained in.

12. Staff then print out and attach the labels to the boxes. The labels will state whether the job is fully or partially picked.
    

13. The final part of the picking process is to physically and electronically locate the picked stock. There are three scenarios:-
    

1. If a full pick  - it is physically placed in a location and the location recorded in the picked location field
   

2. If a partial pick, and there is no other partial picks for the job - the stock is physically placed in the part pick area and electronically recorded as such
   

3. If a partial pick, and there are existing partial picks for the job - the warehouse staff will seek to consolidate and condense the picks into the same location. If not possible staff will locate the stock across multiple locations.
