Table of Contents

Purpose

Wave Pick Auto Generation allows for Wave Picks to be automatically generated on a defined schedule. By selecting a Wave Pick Template you can then define criteria on when a Wave Pick should be created and then what day and time it should be generated. This enables an efficient and streamlined wave pick process. 

Prerequisites

  • Wave Pick Auto Generation is included in Advanced Automation, wich is only available for WMS Premium accounts. Please reach out to the team here for more information. 
  • You must first create Wave Pick Templates before creating the automation.
  • Wave Pick Auto Generation will only work for Wave Pick Types of Multiple Customers and Single Customer. It will not work for Run Sheet Wave Pick Type. 

How to steps

  • Navigate to the Wave Pick page, Warehouse>Wave Picks. 

  • Select +Add Wave Pick. 

  • Select a Wave Pick Template from the Prefill Templates. If you have not yet set up a Wave Pick Template please do so following the steps here.

  • Select Configure Automation. 

  • Select the minimum and maximum number of Sale Orders to be included in each automated Wave Pick.



Note:

  • The orders that meet the Wave Pick template settings will be found and then if there are enough orders to meet the minimum a Wave Pick will be generated.
  • If the number of Sale Orders that match the Wave Pick Template does not meet the minimum number of orders specified then the automated Wave Pick will not run, regardless if there are orders that meet the Wave Pick template settings.
  • If the maximum number of orders per automated Wave Pick is 30 and there are 60 Sale Orders that meet the Wave Pick template settings then two wave picks of 30 orders each will be automatically generated.

  • In the Times field click in to select the times on each day selected that the automated Wave Pick will run.
