Business value
This feature allows you to pick more raw materials than initially required for production orders. There are several use cases where that capability is useful. You can pick an entire pallet or box, use what you need, and return the excess to inventory. You can also post consumption of additionally picked components.
Feature details
To start using this feature, turn on the Allow Whse. Overpick toggle in the Item Card to specify that items are eligible for overpicking. You can activate the same setting in the item template to ensure that all items you create based on the template have the setting.
In the warehouse pick you create for a production order, you can adjust the value in the Quantity field for the Take line.
To return excess items to the warehouse, use the Movement worksheet and the Get Bin Content action.
To post additional consumption, you can either increase the value in the Quantity Per field on the Production Order Components page, or enter the required quantity on the Consumption Journal or Production Journal pages directly. If the new quantity in the journal is less than or equal to the quantity picked, you can post consumption.
This applies to warehouse picks for production orders only. Inventory picks and movements aren't supported. Also, warehouse picks for other source documents aren't supported.
