𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞: In a scenario where 1,000 pieces of material are packed on a pallet and stored on a top shelf in a high rack, if a warehouse operator needs to pick only 100 pieces, the operator will first retrieve the entire pallet from the shelf. The pallet is then moved to a designated 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭, where it is unpacked, and 100 pieces are separated. After the required quantity is picked, the pallet is repacked and returned to its original location on the shelf.
This allows operators to efficiently retrieve, unpack, and repack items from pallet partially.
𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 :
● The use of a Pick Point simplifies the picking process by providing a designated location where pallets can be temporarily placed for partial picking operations.
● Essentially serving as the initial phase of the picking process, the pick point dictates the precise area where warehouse personnel need to physically collect items for a designated order or task.
𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐬 (𝐇𝐔𝐬):
● In a warehouse, personnel use handling units (HUs) to group products together, facilitating easier handling and tracking. Examples of handling units include pallets, cartons, or other containers.
● Auto creation of pick HUs refers to the automatic generation of handling units during the picking process.
● When personnel pick items from the warehouse shelves, they often group them into handling units to simplify transportation and enhance efficiency.
● Configuring SAP EWM to automatically create these handling units during the picking process streamlines the workflow and reduces manual effort.
