Partial Picking.

thomast

Is there no option to set an order or warehouse shipment to "Complete Picking"? For example, consider a Sales Order that is set to Shipping Advice "Complete" and you only have part of the items on stock. NAV will happily create a pick ticket for those Items taht are available, but then you have to wait for the rest to arrive into your warehouse and finish the picking. If this takes 2 weeks, you will have items sitting in your Shipping bin for 2 weeks. But maybe this is normal procedure? Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Then I would not create whse. shipment+pick until the order is completly ready to go.

I would make sure I have the stock for the order when placing the order, using reserves. You can also see in the factbox in the right side of the lines item avaiability when placing the order.


But, as I said, normally it may happen you ship part of an order, then you ship the other part when you have stock (backorder).
I would maybe do a development for this to not allow create whse. shipment +pick until I have all the order in stock?

Well, you can ship partially the order.
Then, do not do any pick until you can fullfil the entire order.

txeriff - Thanks for your response. The Sales Order in my scenario is set to "Complete Shipping" which means the customer would like to receive everything in 1 shipment.
