This is our process that has worked very well over the years.
We automatically pick customer orders, not on HOLD, for today & maybe
one day out. Any MOs are automatically created and BOM is blow through
and determined if MOs are required for any children. (Picks print with
references to the MOs). If POs are required they are linked to the
customer order. If a PICK or CO or CO Line item is deleted. Notices are
either printed or emailed, automatically, to the proper locations for
appropriate action to be taken. (MOs & POs placed on hold or cancelled
or modified) A delete notice for a PICK reflects why it was deleted.
Reports are printed that prints mismatches between MOs and Cos, date.
qtys ....
User Exits are used for the above process. Last "minute" changes will
be preceded with a phone call.
A new 14 page "Pick" will be reprinted. The pick, if it is a reprint,
will say it is a reprint.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Customer order changes while order is being picked
Our shipping department frequently has "14 page" picking lists which
they
make notes on while pulling the items. They are regularly required to
deal with order changes while the picking is in process and do NOT want
to
deal with a new 14 page pick list.
If customer service deletes a pick list and forgets to print a new one
(having conveyed the change over the phone to Shipping, our purchasing
department gets off track monitoring item demand.
If new items are added, a new (additional) pick list can be sent to
shipping. It is the items that are deleted, replaced or the quantity
changes that cause the problems.
Is anyone else dealing with an operating policy that allows changes
until
the order is physically gone? Do you have any "creative" options for
dealing with this and still keeping shipping, inventory and invoicing
in-sync and accurate?
Thanks
