Integration with Aptean Production Over Pick

Article • 7/2/2025 • 4 min read

You can integrate the Aptean Warehouse Management System extension with the Aptean Production Over Pick extension, where the system supports over and under picking for component consumption, allowing warehouse employees to pick quantities that differ from the production order. It enables flexibility in picking more or less than the ordered amount.

Ensure that the over and under delivery percentages are configured on the Item Card page within the corresponding bill of materials. When a warehouse employee picks a quantity that exceeds or falls short of the production order, the system will allow the actual quantity picked. Consequently, the system successfully processes the over or under picking, ensuring accurate and efficient component consumption operations.

Additionally, the warehouse pick activity can only be completed with a single line, which includes both take and place actions.

On the Location Card page, on the Warehouse FastTab, the Prod. Consumption Whse. Handling field must be set as Warehouse Pick (Mandatory).

Configure underpick and overpick validations

To configure default validations for warehouse picking, follow these steps:

Open the Module Settings page for warehouse pick.
Select the Create Default Validations action.

The system automatically adds the Verify Underpick and Verify Overpick validators to the Module Validation page.
Select the Active checkbox as needed to activate a validator for performing over and underpick activities.

To configure the Overpick postback field, follow these steps:

Open the Module Settings page for warehouse pick.
Select the Create Default PostBack Fields action.

The system automatically adds the Overpick postback field to the Additional Fields page.

On the Warehouse Templates page, select the Confirm Underpick checkbox for the applicable warehouse template group to specify whether a confirmation message should appear during underpick.

In the scanner

In the scanner, follow these steps to manage the pick process, including handling over and under-pick quantities.

Open the WMS app on the device and log in to your location.
Select the Outbound group.
Select the Pick module.
On the Pick screen, you can view the list of documents.
You can select the desired line to open the item list.
When the order contains the same item with multiple lines, only one line will appear on the scanner, accommodating the total quantity from each line.
In the Qty field, enter the additional or lower quantity allowed for the over and under-pick process.
Enter or scan the bin code and destination license plate details.
Select ADD.
Select the context menu on the item line.
Turn on the Underpick toggle.

A confirmation message appears. The system displays the confirmation message based on the Confirm Underpick checkbox on the Warehouse Templates page.

If the production pick variance exceeds the allowed overpick or underpick percentage defined for the item, the system displays an error.
Select COMPLETE.
A dialog box opens.
Select Yes to finish the pick activity.

When entire quantity for an item is picked, the line for this item will be removed from the list.
Post the item journal and finish the production order in Business Central.

You can view the received quantities in the following fields:

The Qty. Picked field on the Prod. Order Components page. Also, the Under-pick checkbox is selected.
The Qty. (Base) field on the Detailed Warehouse Entries page.

For overpick, turn off the Underpick toggle. This allows you to scan and pick quantities exceeding the ordered amount, within the allowed overdelivery percentage.

This functionality works similarly when a warehouse pick is created from a sales order.
