To Be Picked Layout

Background

Once blank garments have been allocated to a job order, the next stage of the production process is to physically collect the allocated blank garments from their current location(s), and relocate these to a process area where they will remain until they are used.
This process is known as picking.

The To Be Picked layout lists those job orders that are "eligible to be picked"

In order to be eligible for picking all the following conditions must be met:-

Field	Comments	Eligible Statuses
Allocated	Stock must be either fully or partially allocated. That is, allocation is a prerequisite for picking	Green (All items have been fully allocated) or Amber (One or more items are not fully allocated)
Available to Pick	Stock must be at least partially available to pick	Green (All items are available to pick); or Amber (One or more items on the job order are not fully available to pick)
Picked	If all stock on a job order is picked, then there is no requirement to pick	Amber (Not all stock picked) or Red (No items have been picked)
Note: All the above statuses are aggregates - that is they are at job order level. Be mindful, that a job order may have several lines of items, each of which has it own status.
