Picking Waves with Capacity Limits

Picking Waves with Capacity Limits

Usage

When you create picking waves, you can take various capacity limits into account. The capacity limit of the picking wave is reached as soon as a single capacity limit has been reached. In background processing, the system will only assign as many deliveries to a wave as are allowed for the capacity limit.

Features

You can define the following capacity limits in Customizing:

Maximum number of picking-relevant delivery items in a picking wave

Material B: 1 Pallets

Material C: 5 Pieces

Material D: 250 Packing units

Number of accesses: 406

To use the capacity limit, execute the following IMG activities: Maintain the unit-of-measure load category, assign the units of measure to the unit-of-measure load category.

Maximum number of shipping materials for a picking wave

Roll container, large: 250

Roll container, small: 15

Number of shipping materials: 275

To use this capacity limit, execute the following IMG: Define shipping materials, supplement shipping material data.

Maximum weight of the picking-relevant items of the deliveries in a picking wave
Maximum volume of picking relevant items in the deliveries of a picking wave
Maximum processing time for a picking wave in (planned workload)

To use this capacity limit, execute the IMB activities for workload calculation.
