We are working in an E10.1 environment including the AMM module and we want to use Sales Order Picking records form the Material Queue to create Customer shipments.
For Sales Order line/releases which are supplied from stock we use the fulfilment workbench to reserve and release for picking. This creates picking records in the Material Queue which we can process into picked records and from the actions menu in the Customer shipment we can process these picked records into packing slips. So far this process works perfect. Also the process of buy to order works fine. At the moment we receive the buy to order PO, Epicor creates a picking record to pick from eg the Receiving Area to the Shipping Area. From there we can again create the packing slips from the picked records.
But, we are missing the functionality to process picking records in the case of Make to Order processing. When we create a direct Job related to the SO line/release and the production of the Job is finished, we would like to get a picking record from Epicor to create the Picked status of this SO line/release. At the moment we finish the last operation in the Job, we can tick the checkbox ârequest moveâ. When we process this move request, the SO line/release only gets âReservedâ instead of âPickedâ, which means we cannot create a Pack out of picked records.
Does anybody know what we are doing wrong here?
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but did you ever found out how to deal with Make to Order âpickingâ ?
You summarized EXACTLY my issue at the moment in Epicor. I would like to have a common shipping process for Pull From Stock and MTO orders.
Fulfillment Workbench => Material Queue => Picked Orders (Customer Shipment Entry)
We are struggling with this issue as well. We would welcome any process ideas for shipping MTO order lines. Currently we process customer shipment entry using actions>picked order>then select appropriate sales order, then add lines for any line/release that is MFG-CUS, but find that it is too easy to miss those MTO lines
I had this issue and worked with Epicor on it. End result, Make Direct order releases are not available in fulfillment workbench by design. I didnât like the answer either.
Maybe something to report in the Epicor ideas portal.
