Re: Externally creating a pick list? -- MAPICS-L

Hi Patrick,

I think you don't want to hear this......(you know it already)

The extra energy you are putting in the shipping process, should be put(only half of it needed) in your logistics. If the reorder reports, follow up shortage and overdue reports are maintained on a daily basis and the static data(reorder point safety stock, leadtime...)is correct in the system, you will get only picklists that can be completely delivered.(98%)

That is the way to improve your delivery reliability.

Kind Regards,

Lucas

Patrick, several of my customers have asked Mapics for this enhancement. They want to run a pgm to determine what customer order items can be picked and then have it launch the print pgm, and set this up as a scheduled job. This is on the Mapics list. They are not sure when it will happen. Will probably be on the next ballot to see how much interest there is... You may want to contact Mapics so your name can be added to the list. The more customers that request the sooner we might get it.

Hope this helps
Pete

My CRSs are spending a lot of time manually selecting pick lists in COM.
I have to ship my orders complete, and I release pick lists after the
inventory is available and ready to ship. The ship complete option works
for individual line items, not for the entire customer order. The
requires someone to manually review each order and verify that the order
has enough inventory on hand for each line item in order to create the
pick list.

Does anyone have any hints on how I can submit the pick list print job
from my own program? I can select which orders and line items I want to
appear, but I then want the job MAPICS submits for pick list printing to
take over and process the necessary files and actually print the report.
Essentially, I want my program to select the orders to print (replacing
the AMBE7DFR program), then for MAPICS to take care of the print.

Thanks in advance....
