Modifying Production Pick List

The pick list is designed to indicate the materials required to make the item specified on the Job according to the bill of materials. Users can utilize and modify only the default pick list or the additional picklist2 and picklist3 reports as well. Since different jobs may have different specifications, these three reports can be quite useful. When printed the pick list will include any Lots that were staged to the selected Job.

Configuration

Access to Print Outs > Maintenance > Report Layouts and "Printouts -- edit report layouts for jobs" is required to modify the production pick list.

Process

First, set the Pick List Facility in Production Options. This selection controls how Job requirements will be gathered when printing Job pick lists and can be set using Facilities or Facility Groups.

Next, modify the Job Pick List. To do so:

  1. Navigate to Print Outs > Maintenance > Report Layouts.
  2. Select one of the three available Job Pick Lists and click "Modify".
  3. Enter a user report name, such as "u_jobpicklist", and click "Edit Report" to open the Report Designer.
  4. Within the Report Designer, images and various text may be added. The default report contains most desired elements; however, more fields are available to add. Printing this report to Variable Display will assist in having a reference for available fields to include.

FAQs & Diagnostic Tips

Tips:

  • When using this field with Job Picklists (including the picklist2 and picklist 3 reports), use TRANS(lj_jobnum, go.jobmask) to have the job number print correctly
  • Picklists can be printed from non-WIP jobs which will show the suggested lots for the requirements.
  • All fields in the Master Lot table (dtmasterlot) are now available to the staging and final staging picklists, both when printing from the issuing screen as well as the pre-staging screen.
  • Shop Area fields (dmshop) are available on job picklists.
  • Batch manufacturing customers may wish to add the "pr_jobinc" (Job Incremental Quantity) to the Job Staging Picklist. When jobs are created for multiple batches, Deacom does not split these batches into separate lines. Therefore, users cannot see how many batches are needed to complete a job, instead they see a lump amount in the form of job quantity. There is the ability to split jobs by job quantity, but this would produce multiple lots, which may result in separate QC testing per lot. One option to assist users when determining the batch size on jobs is having the "pr_jobinc" (Job Incremental Quantity) field visible since it is often used by batch manufactures to define batch sizes.
  • The system will allow users to print job picklists for items that have an active Bill of Materials even if parts on the BOM currently have no inventory on hand.
  • The following variables have been added to the "staging" and "staging2" picklists.
    • l_codenum (manufactured part's part number)
    • l_descrip (manufactured part's part description)
    • l_jobinc (The manufactured part's job increment, from the Item Master's "Incremental Job Quantity" field)
    • Note that these variables pull from the first line on the job ONLY.
