Wave Picks with Capacity Restrictions
Use
Capacity restrictions can only be taken into consideration if wave picks are set up according to time criteria (
Create wave pick according to delivery time
and
Create wave picks according to shipment and compare times
). When an individual capacity limit is reached, the capacity limit of a wave pick is reached. If you run this function in the background, the system only assigns as many deliveries to a wave as the capacity limit allows. In the foreground, deliveries that exceed one of these limits are highlighted in red.
Range of Functions
You can define the following capacity restrictions in Customizing:
Maximum number of delivery items relevant for picking in a wave pick
Maximum number of picking transactions in a wave pick
Example
Article A: 150 Packing units
Article B: 1 Pallet
Article C: 5 Pieces
Article D: 250 Packing units
Number of picking transactions: 406
In order to use these capacity restrictions, execute the following activities in the Implementation Guide (IMG):
Maintain Unit-of-Measure Load Category
Assign Units of Measure to Unit-of-Measure Load Category
Maximum number of packaging materials in a wave pick
Example
Euro pallet: 10
Large container on wheels: 250
Small container on wheels: 15
Amount of packaging material: 275
In order to use these capacity restrictions, execute the following activities in the Implementation Guide (IMG):
Define packaging material types
Additional Data for Packaging Material and Time Slot
Maximum weight of the wave pick's delivery items relevant for picking
Maximum volume of the wave pick's delivery items relevant for picking
Maximum processing time for a wave pick in hours (planned workload)
In order to use these capacity restrictions, execute the IMG activities for workload calculation .
