Setup

Before being able to post an over- and/or under-pick, it is necessary to configure a setting in the production bill of material.

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.
