You can determine the number of pick release steps the system will prompt to move material from pick release to ship confirmation. These steps are:

1. Pick Release
2. Move Order Line Allocation (detailing)
3. Move Order Line Pick Confirmation

Pick Release
Oracle Shipping Execution’s Pick Release process creates move orders. One order is created per pick release batch per organization, so if you pick release across multiple organizations, one move order is generated in each facility. One move
order line is generated for each order line included in the picking batch. That move order line includes the item, quantity, the staging location (the destination sub inventory and locator) and a source sub inventory and locator if one was specified
on the sales order line or on the Release Sales Orders window.

For non-reservable items, allocation and pick release run, but suggestions are not created during pick release, and pick confirm will not run for the item. You can print pick slips, but they will not be detailed with subinventory and stock locator to pick from, however they will list the item and quantity to be picked. Auto-allocate should be Yes and Auto-pick-confirm can be set to any.

Detail Line Allocation (Detailing)
To release the move order lines created at Pick Release to the warehouse and to print pick slips, the lines must be allocated. The allocation process for a pick wave move order line also creates a high level (organization level) reservation for the item(s) if no previous reservations exist for them. You can choose to do this immediately after the move order lines are created or to postpone this step until a later point in time. Once the lines are allocated, they have a status of Released to
Warehouse.

The reservation is a soft reservation and from the transact move order form we can back order the move order line and the quantity would be available for reservation again.

 

Postponing the detailing process might be employed by organizations that pick release across multiple warehouses but prefer to enable each warehouse to determine when to release their order lines to the floor. Detailing the order lines immediately after they are created is called auto-detailing. Postponing the detailing process is referred to as manual-detail. You can set up a default detailing mode in the Shipping Parameters window. This default can be overridden at each Pick Release through the Release Sales Orders window.

Pick Confirmation
The move order line details must be transacted (in Inventory) to confirm the material drop-off in staging. Pick confirmation executes the sub inventory transfer that systematically moves the material from its source location in the warehouse to
the staging location. Pick Confirmation automatically transfers the high level reservation to a allocated reservation (including lots, sub inventory and locators) in the staging location.
Inventory updates Shipping Execution with the results of the pick confirm:
■ Pick Confirmed quantity is assigned a status of Staged/Pick Confirmed.
■ Unconfirmed quantity is assigned a status of Backordered.

Pick confirmation follows the allocation and reservation process automatically if both the Auto Allocate and Auto Pick Confirm options are selected in the Release Rules window. Pick Confirm always follows the detailing and reservation process.
If Auto Allocate is not chosen, it is not possible to Auto Pick Confirm.
