Pick for lot, move and ship individual serial numbers

Is there a way that we can pick parts for multiple lines in a Work Order at once? For example, we have serialized devices with 50 different parts, and we would ideally pick for a lot of ~10 for the day. We will be releasing each serial number unit as it is completed not each lot, and we would like to use the Shop floor location/traveler function per serial number device. From my understanding there are 3 main ways we can do this and each of them have problems:

-Create a work order with 10 lines with 1 each (a little tedious for setting up and each line ends up with a different lot code)
-Open each pick parts line and pick the parts for that unit (Time consuming)
-Then print the Plate for each line from the documents section and scan the Workorder line barcode as it goes to each work location. (As each serial unit moves)
-Close each line as the device is released.

-Create a work order for Qty 10.
-Open the pick parts and pick parts for the whole lot of 10.
-What do we print to be able to change the location of each serial number via scanning?
-Close Out and Ship each serial number Unit by what? (Every time I try to set Finish Qty to 1 I get an error saying issued serial qty cannot be greater than ship qty)

-Create a work order for Qty 10.
-Open the pick parts and pick parts for the whole lot of 10.
-Split line 10 times to create individual lines for the work order. (This does not split the serial numbers and all serial numbers remain on line 1)
-Reassign serial number for each line (time consuming)
-Then print the Plate for each line from the documents section and scan the Workorder line barcode as it goes to each work location. (As each serial unit moves)
-Close each line as the device is released

Good Morning,

To answer your question about mass picking lines, at the pick parts page there is a ‘Pick All Lines’ link at the bottom of the page to pick all component lines that are not serialized.

If you do not have any component level serials then the ideal process would be a slight variation of the 3rd process you suggested. This would allow you to do the movement of each serial at each work location.

  • If you create the work order for 10 Qty.
  • Then pick all the parts for the whole lot of 10.
  • Then use the Mass split button to split into lines of Qty 1.
  • Then serialize each line.
  • Then Print the plate from the documents section and scan to the work location.
  • Close each line as the device is released.

Thank you, that is helpful.

As well as this, another thing we are trying to accommodate for one of our projects that would follow this process is picking parts in two separate phases. We would like to pick the first half of the parts (Assembly) print the pick list. Separate the WO into individual lines. Produce the units. Then pick the second half for each (packaging and ancillary kit items) and print this pick list for that. Then we would close out each individual line.

Is there a way we can do this?
