Introduction

A new feature in the WMS mobile app (PDA) now allows users executing pick pool orders to receive real-time updates when an order is cancelled mid-picking. If an order is cancelled, the information will be displayed after the current product card is completed. This feature enhances picking accuracy by ensuring pickers only process active orders, reducing unnecessary picks from cancelled orders. If an item has been picked for a cancelled order, a put-away task will be generated to return it to storage.

Previous Configuration

Previously, when an order was cancelled mid-picking, the picker was not informed in real-time or post picking, which could lead to unnecessary picking of items for orders that were no longer valid. This created inefficiencies and required additional time to manually manage cancelled items.

What’s New

With this enhancement, the WMS mobile app alerts(Information) the user if an order has been cancelled during an active pick pool process. If an order is cancelled:

• Unpicked items are automatically removed from the picking list.
• Picked items generate a put-away, allowing easy return to storage.

This feature, available only in the PDA Product Card view (not List view), keeps the picking process current, accurate, and efficient.

Advantages

• Increased Picking Efficiency: Real-time updates reduce unnecessary handling of cancelled orders.
• Improved Accuracy: Ensures only active orders are picked, minimizing errors.
• Enhanced Warehouse Control: Automatically manages cancelled orders to streamline pick-and-put-away tasks.
