Symptoms
For a replenishment tasks, if user picks multiple items going to a different locations what is the sequence followed during drop for example:
Order 1 - Item A and B going to Location 1 and 2
While picking user gets task A first followed by task B, so physically on the picking pallet Item A is below item B. While dropping the LPN system should show drop location for item B before A as physically it is not possible to pick A before B. But system shows location for the task in the sequence it is picked which is incorrect.
1. Run replenishment Template "ES Replenishment Template CS".
2. Pick all the tasks in one LPN : 2 items will be allocated, notice the sequence of picking.
Since it is a multi zone movement task, first drop will be a same location for both the tasks. Task zone will be displayed enter STG as the location in this step.
3. Once dropped, navigate to manual task and hit ctrl+p to execute task in progress,once you enter the screen you might see message "No task available" but continue to the screen and execute task in progress, enter task number. At this time also you will see single location as next drop location is also same for both the tasks, use ESSTG as the location to drop
4. Again repeat step 3, you will see individual drop locations, notice the task you picked first will be displayed first, which is practically not possible to execute first as those items will be at the bottom of the pallet.
Please note, this is just a simple test with 2 tasks where user can skip location to get appropriate task. But in reality there can several tasks arnd 20-30 items picked in one LPN. At that time it will be very inefficient to perform those task by skipping location.
Ideally we want system to suggest drop location for the last task picked to be shown first. Pick path bulk racks-> STG->ESSTG-> Individual locator.
