Picking Stock For a Job

TBC: The below is WIP  - The picking list layout is not created yet**

Background

Once blank stock items have been allocated to a production job, they need to be physically picked and provided to the required production area which will then decorate them.

TOT Shirts Limited utilises random stock location, so the blank stock items may be in numerous physical locations.

As part of the picking process, strokeone will indicate where the physical stock is located.

   4. The pick status for the SKU
   5. The physical location(s) the blank stock line item is stored in.
   6. The available quantity of each SKU per the physical location(s)
   7. The quantites of each SKU required (To be Given), allocated, already picked
      
      (The following steps are outside the remit of the system but included here for completeness)
      
4. Using the information in the pick stock layout, visit the physical locations listed where the blank products are stored and pick the required quantities.
   
   The quantity picked from each location needs to be recorded in the application.
   
5. There are two methods by which you can record the quantity picked from a location
   1. You can click the Pick button beside a single product row for a location.
      This will cause a Picking dialog box to display.
      
      In the Quantity field, enter the number of items that were picked from that location, and click OK
      The following happens:-
      1. Picked Quantity is incremented with the Quantity entered in the dialog.
      2. Available Quantity for the Location is decremented by Quantity entered in the dialog.
      3. The Picked status for the SKU will update as follows:-
         • In Progress (Amber) if picked quantity < To be Given
         • Completed (green) if picked quantity = To Be Given
           
   2. You can click the Pick All button beside a single product row for a location.
      This will pick the minimum of what ever is available in the location or the Amount needed to be picked, i.e.

      1. Set "amount needed to be Picked" from calculating (To be Given minus Picked)

      2. Set "amount that can be picked from location" by calculating {min (Location balance, amount needed to be Picked)}
      3. Picked Quantity is incremented with the amount that can be picked from location.
      4. Quantity for the Location is decremented by amount that can be picked from location.
      5. The Picked status for the SKU  will update as follows:-
         • In Progress (Amber) if picked quantity < To be Given
         • Completed (green) if picked quantity = To Be Given
           
6. Repeat step 5) until you have recorded all the picking you have done for the job order selected in step 1)
   Note: If picking for the job is now complete,( i.e. for each of the SKU's on the job order, Picked Quantity = To Be Given),
   then the aggregate pick status icon is updated to Completed (green)
