Business value

With this feature, you can pick more raw materials than the production order initially requires. This capability is useful in several scenarios. You can pick an entire pallet or box, use what you need, and return the excess to inventory. You can also post consumption for additionally picked components.

Feature details

To start using this feature, turn on the Allow Whse. Overpick toggle in the Item Card to specify that items are eligible for overpicking. Activate the same setting in the item template to ensure that all items you create based on the template have the setting.

In the warehouse pick that you create for a production order, change the value in the Quantity field for the Take line.

To return excess items to the warehouse, use the Movement worksheet and the Get Bin Content action.

To post extra consumption, either increase the value in the Quantity Per field on the Production Order Components page or enter the required quantity directly on the Consumption Journal or Production Journal pages. If the new quantity in the journal is less than or equal to the quantity picked, you can post consumption.

This process applies only to warehouse picks for production orders. It doesn't support inventory picks and movements. It also doesn't support warehouse picks for other source documents.
