Pick Inventory for Stock Requests

Pick Inventory for Stock Requests

Security:
Process: Inventory Pick List
 domain in the Inventory functional area.
You can move items out of stocking locations and allocate them for your unfulfilled stock requests. With each stock request, you can have only 1 open picking list at a time to:
  • Ensure that you don't pick an item more than once for a stock request line.
  • Provide an accurate view of the available quantity to pick.
If you're using directed picking, you can run the
Picking Allocation Shortages
 report to verify that there's enough stock to fulfill each stock request.
  1. Access the
    Pick Inventory
     task.
  2. Select an
    Inventory Wave
     for an inventory pick.
    The
    Inventory Wave
     prompt is only available for an inventory site with the
    Enable Wave Picking
    enabled.
  3. On each stock request line for nondirected picking, select the stocking location and enter the actual quantity you pick.
    If you configure your site to fill shorted stock request lines and stock becomes unavailable at a location during picking:
    • Pick as much as you can with the first picking list.
    • Create another picking list once stock is available to fulfill the remainder of the stock request.
  4. (Optional) Access the
    Mass Action on Picking Lists
     task to submit multiple picking lists as fully picked.
Workday initiates the
Inventory Shipment
 business process, and depletes inventory from the stocking location.
  • Ship items picked for the stock request on the
    Create Inventory Shipment
     task.
  • You can use the
    Remove Pick Line Allocations
     task to cancel the allocation of goods for stock requests.
