Assigning Pickers to Orders in a Manual Warehouse

When an order is ready for picking, assign a picker to the order prior to printing the pick ticket. When you print a pick ticket for an order, the following events occur:

  1. The on-hand quantity for the products ordered is deducted from the total inventory count.

  2. The order status changes from Open to Invoice.

  3. The customer's accounts receivable balance updates.

  4. The invoice moves from the future ledger to the inventory history ledger.

  5. The order Print flag changes and now controls the billing process. If the order is open, the Print flag identifies whether you want to print or fax an acknowledgement to the customer.

To assign a picker to an order:

  1. From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Initial Order Entry dialog box.

  2. In theBranchfield, enter the shipping branch for the order.

  3. In the Customer/Order # field, enter or select the order number to which you want to assign a picker or select a recently accessed order.

  4. Click the Header tab to display the order's header information.

  5. In thePicked Byfield, enter the user ID of the user to pick the order, or select an ID from the list of available pickers.

Note: You can only assign a picker if their assigned home branch is the same as the shipping branch for the order. For more information about assigning a user's home branch, see Assigning Branches to Users.

  1. Save your changes and exit the window.
