Orderpick Calculation Functions

The Orderpick Calculation Functions codeunit provides calculation methods to determine the expected orderpick quantity for document lines. This quantity represents the amount that needs to be picked in partial handling units after full handling units have been accounted for.

Overview

Orderpick quantity calculations are essential for:

• Order Picking Planning: Determining how much quantity needs to be picked in partial handling units
• Warehouse Operations: Optimizing picking processes by identifying partial handling unit quantities
• Handling Unit Planning: Supporting shipment handling unit calculations by providing normative quantities

The orderpick quantity is typically the remaining quantity after full handling units have been calculated, representing the quantity that will be picked into a partial handling unit.

Available Methods

Method Code	Description	Use Case
METHOD01	Normative quantity per handling unit: Calculates the remaining quantity after full handling units	Standard calculation for partial handling unit quantities

Common Concepts

Expected Orderpick Quantity

The Expected Orderpick Qty. field on WMS Document Line represents:

• The quantity that will be picked into a partial handling unit
• The remaining quantity after full handling units have been calculated
• Used in conjunction with shipment handling unit quantity calculations

Relationship to Shipment Handling Unit Functions

Orderpick calculation functions work together with shipment handling unit functions:

• Shipment Handling Unit Functions: Calculate how many handling units are needed
• Orderpick Calculation Functions: Calculate how much quantity goes into the partial handling unit

Handling Unit Types

A Handling Unit Type defines the physical characteristics of a handling unit (pallet, container, etc.):

• Dimensions: Length, Width, Height
• Maximum load constraints: Pick Max. Load Height, Pick Max. Load Weight, Pick Max. Load Cubage
• Handling Unit type group for classification

Handling Unit Type Unit of Measure

The Handling Unit Type Unit of Measure table links items to handling unit types and defines:

• Qty. per UOM Code: Full handling unit capacity (quantity per unit of measure)
• Qty. per Layer: Quantity that fits in one layer
• Height: Height per unit or layer
• Length, Width: Dimensions for pick handling units

Document Line Fields

The calculation methods work with these key fields from WMS Document Line:

• Quantity: The ordered quantity
• Expected Orderpick Qty.: The calculated result (partial handling unit quantity)
• Handling Unit Type Code: The handling unit type to use
• Unit of Measure Code: Unit of measure for the line

How to Use

1. Select a Method: Choose the calculation method (currently only METHOD01 available)
2. Set Up Master Data: Ensure handling unit types and unit of measures are properly configured
3. Assign to Customer Items: Link the method to customer items via the Shpt. Orderpick Calc. Method field
