Function documentationPicking with Cartonization Planning

 

In cartonization planning, the system can use planned shipping handling units (PSHUs) as templates for creating pick handling units (HUs), which you can then use as shipping HUs.

Prerequisites

For picking with cartonization planning, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • You have created PSHUs for warehouse tasks during warehouse order creation. For more information, see Cartonization Planning During Warehouse Order Creation.

  • You have defined warehouse order creation rules for picking from the activity areas. For more information, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Cross-Process-Settings Next navigation step Warehouse Order Next navigation step Define Creation Rule for Warehouse Orders End of the navigation path.

  • So that the packing profile in the warehouse order creation rule creates the pick-HUs, you have selected the Create HUs and the Assign WTs to HUs checkboxes in the packing profile. For more information, see Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Cross-Process-Settings Next navigation step Warehouse Order Next navigation step Define Packing Profile for Warehouse Order Creation End of the navigation path.

  • You have defined a start and end bin for the activity area. If you use a pick point, the bin of the pick point is the starting bin of the activity area. See the SAP Easy Access screen for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Storage Bin Next navigation step Assign Start/End Storage Bin for Activity Area End of the navigation path.

Features

Creation of Planned Shipping Handling Units

Picking only works with cartonization planning for warehouse tasks during warehouse order creation. For more information, see Cartonization Planning During Warehouse Order Creation and Sample Use Cases of Cartonization Planning.

Picking at a Pick Point

Picking with cartonization planning is also possible when using pick points. For more information, see Pick Point.

However, the system can only propose pick-HUs on the basis of PSHUs if you confirm all HU-warehouse tasks for moving stock to the pick point together, and if you carry out picking at the pick point using radio frequency (RF) instead of using the work center. For more information, see Picking at a Pick Point Using Radio Frequency.

Two-Step Picking

In two-step picking, the warehouse tasks for withdrawal have no reference to outbound delivery orders. For this reason, you cannot use picking with cartonization planning in the withdrawal step. However, you can use picking with cartonization planning in the allocation step. For more information, see Two-Step Picking.
