Set up over under pick

Article • 4/9/2025 • 3 min read

You must configure the setting in the production bill of materials before you can post an overpick or underpick.

Allow over and under pick

In the Bill of Material (BOM), it is possible to define for each BOM line if over and/or under pick is allowed. There are two different options to register over and under pick:

  1. Unlimited: The quantity of over and under pick that can be registered is unlimited. When registering a quantity to handle that is more or less than the original quantity, a pop-up message will ask to confirm the quantity.
  2. Percentage: A percentage for over and under pick can be entered per BOM line. These percentages are copied to the component line. If the percentages are not entered, 0% over- and under-pick will be allowed on the component line. However, it is always possible to overrule these percentages in the component lines.

This setup is available in a production BOM and a production BOM version. When copying the production BOM lines, by executing the “Copy BOM” or “Exchange Production BOM Item” function, the settings for over and under pick are copied as well.

The functionality for over and under picking is not supported for an assembly BOM.

    If Percentage is selected, the Allowed % Over-pick and Allowed % Under-pick fields value percentages are inherited from the Production Over-Pick Setup page.
    If Unlimited is selected, the Allowed % Over-pick and Allowed % Under-pick fields value remains empty.

The values must be positive and between 0 and 100. The allowed percentages for over and under picking are now set up.
