RE: Externally creating a pick list?

["Patrick Shrader" <pshrader@xxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately not. We do have to ship backorders. The situation is that
we get an order for 10,000 shirts. This produces 4 dye lots. Customer
agrees to purchase all shirts produced for a given dye lot, as they are
produced. I receive in the first order of 2,600 shirts -- and create a
pick list for exactly 2,600 shirts. The second dye lot -- a week later
-- was less efficient, and I get 2,200 shirts. So I release a second
pick for the 2,200 shirts (what is left in inventory). Then, I get a
shipment with all the remaining shirts from the dye lots, totaling
10,200 shirts. So, I need to ship all the shirts in inventory for that
dye lot run, or 5,400 shirts. To do this I have to modify the
order/backorder amount for this order from 10,000 to 10,200, and release
the final pick for 5,400 shirts.

As you can see, this is very time consuming. I need to create a pick
list selection panel that allows me to ship all the items that are in
inventory right now, then do it again the next day.

I have a question.  If you set the customer to "not allow partials" and
"not allow backorders" would this accomplish what you are trying to do?

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

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....
