POSC Steps in WOCR

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Can anyone tell me why POSC steps are placed in WOCR for the outbound and in WPT for Inbound?

Hello Sam,

Is it not mandatory to use POSC from WOCR. WPT also works. However, If you wanted to have better control on your picking, then, use POSC at WOCR level.

Example, For Pallet storage type which is storing Full HUs, you do not need packing. Where are, Loose components require Packing. If you use POSC at WPT level, it is difficult to manage process. So, you can use POSC from WOCR level to have the better control on process.

Hi Sathish,

you cann`t use POSC in WPT, where WPT category = 2 (Pick). It's system restrictions.

Hi,

there is one clear rule: never ask WHY something is in a certain way...

I do not think that there really is a reason. But process wise it usually does more sense the way it is. "We" mostly assume that you have relatively easy processes inbound (you receive a bunch of pallets and put them away one by one), but have complex picking processes (different quantities, time plays a more important role, transportation planning, etc). That's why settings sometimes look so different between inbound and outbound.

This is very good question, we normally take it for granted that this is how system works. Never thought the reason behind it..

To my understanding, it is more business process related, outbound process requires product from difference AA to have difference POSC, whereas inbound process is comparatively simple... but if there is huge requirements from customer that they want inbound process to have the same functionality, it can also happen..

Hi,

in the outbound process we have Pick-HU and 2-step picking functionalities, which create new tasks in the background on the fly. This is why I understand the POSC must be at the higher level - at the level of WOCR, so the process can be applied to these subsequent tasks.

Let's see if Juergen joins :-).
