Definition
The pick point is the actual location in the warehouse where you pick the material items for a partial stock pick from a storage unit (SU). In the Warehouse Management system (WMS), the pick point is defined as an SU-managed storage location.
In an automated high-rack storage area, the pick point may be a specific point along a conveyor belt to which storage units are transferred for picking. A pick point may also be a marked floor area where entire pallets can be brought for picking material quantities.
Use
By removing storage units for picking and partial picking to a pick point, you avoid losing information on the SU when removing stock from a non SU-managed storage type (for example the goods issue interim storage area).
If you only want to pick part of the material from the SU, take the SU to the SU-managed pick point for the actual picking so that the SU number does not disappear:
The system does not create any return subitems for replacing the storage unit into stock.
Returning Storage Units to Stock
You have various possibilities for returning partial storage units to the warehouse after picking at the pick point:
The system looks for a new storage bin in the storage type and creates a corresponding return subitem in the transfer order.
For example, you have set up a special storage type for partial storage units.
