SNC Order Types
Order types categorize source documents (sales orders, transfer orders, purchase return orders) at the time of their release. Based on the determined order type, the system defines which picking teams are eligible to process the picking documents. This allows the use of different picking methods tailored to each order type, reducing workload or throughput time.
The basic structure of an Order Type is created here. The properties of an Order Type are defined in more detail in SNC Order Type Categories.
- Code
- Description
- Series Creation: Specifies that orders with this order type must always be picked in series
- MOP batch creation: Defines that orders with this order type are generally picked via MOP batch. This means that multiple orders are picked simultaneously but still according to the order into a multi-order rack or similar. See Create MOP Batch.
It is not possible to activate series creation and MOP batch creation simultaneously, as these are fundamentally different picking methods.
