Product unit picking popup
The Product Unit Picking popup is designed to enhance material tracking and traceability during production. This interface allows operators to efficiently pick materials per Product unit (LCM) by entering or scanning Goods receptions (SSA). This also includes automatic reassignment for traceable material, saving clicks and without having to use applications like the Stock assignment production order kit-item (SARK).
The key functionalities include:
Material Picking: Enables users to pick quantities from different Good receptions (SSA) without having to manually change assignments, ideal for dynamic production environments.
Traceability: Builds comprehensive traceability records for materials used in production.
User Navigation: Accessible via the Work Order Operation (WOO) application, with multiple navigation options for ease of use.
Only applies for traceable material and Production work orders (PWO) in Status 5 - In production
This functionality applies to Products (ART) used as parts in a Product structure (KITART) / Production structure (KITDOC), defined as Is traceable material of product unit in the Product (ART) application.
Picking can only be done on Production work orders (PWO) in Status 5 - In production.

If Serial number template (SNT) is set up for any of the materials
When opening the popup in the context of a Production work order (PWO), as an operator performing a Work order operation (WOO), the fields in the header are already filled out.
There are multiple ways to pick for production. You may choose the picking route by selecting Material and then which Goods reception to pick from, or selecting or scanning a Goods reception item (SSAITEM), which will automatically select the material of the Goods reception item (SSAITEM).
Tip
When working with pallets that are set up with Goods reception (SSA), starting with the Goods reception field can the be the most efficient as it will detect the material of the scanned Goods reception item (SSAITEM).
Select Material → Select Goods reception → Decide Quantity → Click Pick button
Scan or type Goods reception → Decide Quantity → Click Pick button
Select Material serial number → Click Pick button → Decide Quantity → Click Pick button
Once the material(s) has been picked, it will populate the grid below.
About the interface layout
The interface is divided into five sections:
Area 1 - Header - Information on Production work order (PWO), Work order operation (WOO) and current Product unit (LCM)
The header section provides information on the Production Work Order (PWO), Work Order Operation (WOO), and the current Product Unit (LCM). It includes fields for viewing and editing details of the PWO, WOO, and LCM, with options to switch between different Product units (LCM). The serial number for the Product Unit is displayed, typically sourced by automation and set up in the Serial Number Templates (SNT) application.
Field | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|
Production work order |
| An informational field displaying the identifier of the source Production work order (PWO). The Production work order (PWO) includes the Work order operation (WOO) where the picking can potentially be completed. To view and edit details, click the View icon to open the Production work order details (PWOD) application. |
Work order operation |
| An informational field display in the sequence number and name for the Operation (OPR) being worked on, as a Work order operation (WOO). To close the popup, and return to the Work order operation (WOO), click the View icon. |
Produced product unit id |
| Displays the identifier of the currently selected Product unit (LCM). To switch to another, click the Produced product unit id drop-down menu. Note that only Product units (LCM) included in the source Production work order (PWO) can be selected. To view and edit details on the Product unit (LCM) by opening the Life cycle management (LCM) application, click the View icon. |
Produced serial number | Displays the serial number for the Product unit (LCM). This is can typically be sourced by automation, set up in the Serial number templates (SNT) application. |
Area 2 - Material selection list
The List of materials allows the user to select a material to be picked. When a material has been clicked, highlighted by the color orange, the fields Goods reception and Stock location - will only list matches which include the selected part/material.
