Create Pick List

Explanation

Use this activity to create a pick list for inventory parts needed for the work order. A pick list contains detailed information on an inventory part, such as: name, quantity and date required, and inventory location.

Pick lists can be created for a single material requisition, a single work order (multiple material requisitions) or for multiple work orders. To make sure that the material is available for the work order, you need to reserve it. Once material is added to a pick list, it cannot be issued from the pick list source (e.g., work order, material requisition line). Instead, issuing material can be performed through the pick list.

Prerequisites

• The inventory part must have been connected to the work order and reserved in the Work Task/Materials tab or the Prepare Work Order/Materials tab.
• The required quantity of the inventory part must be available in inventory.
• When creating pick lists from a maintenance material requisition, the requisition must be in the Released status.
• When creating pick lists for multiple work orders, all the work orders should belong to the same company.
• If the part to be issued is auto-repairable, information related to the repair work order to be created (object site, object ID, directive, maintenance organization site and maintenance organization) must be entered.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, a pick list is created, and material is reserved and available for a work order at the required time.
