Question & Answer


Question

WMS: How to pack into same container once it is "Short Picked". 

Answer

User cannot pack into a container directly once it moves to "Short Picked" status. System will throw "Status is not a valid pick up status for pipeline transaction" error as "Short Picked" status is not pickable status for pack transaction.

To pack into a "Short Picked" container below steps need to be followed.

1. First container status should be moved to "Short Pick Resolved" status.
2. To achieve this changeShipmentContainer api should be invoked by passing the resolve short pick transaction id. This will move Container to "Short Pick Resolved" status

sample input xml:
<Container ShipmentContainerKey="2009061017090277010" TransactionId="RESOLVE_SHORT_PICK.5001.ex"/>
You can also do this from UI. From container list, choose the container that needs to be moved to short pick resolved, then choose change container. In the container details screen just do save. This moves the container to short pick resolved status.

3. Pack pipeline should be modified such that it allows packing in "Short Pick Resolved" status. ("Short Pick Resolved" status should be connected as input to pack transaction).
Note: OOB pipeline has this already configured. In case if custom pipelines are used, this needs to be configured.

4. User can proceed with packing.
