WO-D  Print Pick Lists

Purpose of Program

Use this program to get a listing of the components that must be pulled from stock for a work order or range of work orders.

If a component is repeated in several places within the work order bill of material, it will be consolidated into a single quantity for stock picking purposes.  The bill of material printed on the shop traveler (the printing of which can be suppressed) does not consolidate components in this manner.

The pick list prints the quantities remaining to be issued, not the original quantity required.  Therefore you can print a pick list midway through a work order and it will be restricted to components that have not yet been issued.

A range of work orders by work order number or by job number can be consolidated into a single pick list.

The pick list shows the component item number, description, quantity, unit of measure, bin location, and offers an entry column for recording quantities, lot numbers, serial numbers, etc.

Consolidated Pick List

If you choose to print a consolidate pick list for a product structure with multiple levels in the bill of material, the printed pick list will not include any work order parent parts within the work order range selected.  Only the components of the work orders selected will print on the pick list.  Otherwise you would have both subassemblies (parent parts on lower level work orders) and components mixed together, which would not only be confusing, but it would be in a sense double inventory since the subassemblies and their components, once assembled, are the same thing.  Therefore the consolidated pick list is confined to components only.

In some situations the range of work orders is limited to one or two levels down the product structure, in which case there may be lower level subassemblies that are already completed that may be desirable to be shown on the pick list.  The consolidate pick list contains a section at the end titled Parent Assemblies Outside the WO Selection Range.  Any parent parts that are on lower level work orders, but are outside the work order range selected, will be listed in this section.

General Program Operation

Enter a from/thru range of work order numbers by entering the work order number or selecting work orders from a lookup window via the F2 key.  You may also select a range of work orders by a from/thru range of job numbers.

If you want the range of work orders consolidated into a single pick list, check the Consolidated Pick List? checkbox.

You can sort the pick list by item number or by bin location, and you can have the second line of product description printed or not.

You can choose to have approved substitute parts, defined in BM-J  Enter Approved Substitutes, print underneath each standard component.  If the standard component is not available, the substitute would be used.  You can also limit by component type, RoHS status, suppress or include items with a 0 quantity required and include the current on hand quantity of components in addition to the required quantity.  You can print a blank line between items to make it easier to hand write a quantity issued, print all, Default or No Bin Locations and include linked documents.
