Picking the Components
In this step, you will select which locations you will pick the items from. You will also choose the location where the components will be moved to.
- You can update the number of assembly SKUs to create as well as your pick quantities.
- Components can be picked from multiple locations.
- If a SKU has a lot code, you can only pick the same lot/expiration for that SKU. We do not support mixing lot codes for the same SKU.
If the lot code matches, you can choose different locations for the same SKU.
Once all the picking locations are selected, print the pick sheet:
Once everything is picked and moved to the staging location, you can update the status to "Assembly in Progress."
NOTE: We suggest using the putaway feature if you need to return items after they are transferred to the staging location. Scan in the staging area, which will list all the items there. Then you can move them back using the inventory transfer feature.
Assembling the Components
Once in the Assembly status, your team will build the Assembly SKU according to the instructions on the work order. The attachments can be downloaded and viewed at any time.
As the SKUs are completed, they can be received at the receiving location.
You can receive all at once or receive as you go.
Printing Assembly SKU Barcodes
You can print barcodes for your Assembly SKU during any of the phases.
They can be printed after the SKU is assembled or you can pre-print them once the work order is created.
Adding a Lot Code to an Assembly SKU
If your Assembly SKU has the product setting "Needs Lot Tracking" enabled you can now add the lot when creating the work order.
Type in the name of your lot and select the expiration date from the calendar module.
