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):

Additional Data for Packaging Material and Time Slot

Maximum weight of the wave pick's delivery items relevant for picking
