Pick Lists has a major problem
We are on 9.0.13 and the Pick Lists has a major problem. Once you perform shipment the old version would allow you to recreate the PL and it would give you the balance left to ship (provided you had inventory). The PL now may give you three or more lines of the same item number to complete the shipment. One of our KPIs is Fill Rate – the multiple lines create havoc with that number.
Inventory in multiple locations is an issue for Planning and Shipping. If your Safety Stock level is 10 and one location has 2 pieces and another location has 8 pieces it does not show the location of the part(s) without looking at the locations individually. This creates more work for the Planner – it is also frustrating to the CSR when trying to ship complete only to realize a Work Order hasn’t been cut for the current logical ship from location.
Cons
Pick Lists functionality. Lack of vision to multiple warehouse locations.
