Integration with Aptean Production Over Pick

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.
