Primary Pick 1 Example – Da Vinci Unified

This article demonstrates a Primary Pick 1 replenishment scenario. It shows the platform configurations, workflow, and results.

Overview

When set to Primary Pick 1, DVU generates a work order to replenish the primary pick location according to the conditions in the replenishment rule.

The pick ticket allocation and replenishment work order do not dynamically adjust to the quantity in the shipping order (see Primary Pick 2 for that feature). The scenario below illustrates that workflow and result.

Platform configurations

Accounts > General Properties

Inventory Allocation > Allocation Mode = manual

Accounts > Inventory

Break Larger UOM to Smaller UOM for Allocation = enabled (optional but recommended).
Automatically Allocate Largest UOM = disabled (required).

Items/SKUs

Set item primary pick location.
Set replenishment rule.

Storage Locations

Identity at least one reserve storage location and make sure it is not set as a pickable location (in this example DOOR2).
Make sure the primary pick location is set to pickable.

Storage Locations By Account

Assign all storage locations to an account.

Scenario settings

A shipping order for 25 eaches triggers:

a pick ticket to pick from the primary pick location
a work order to replenish the primary pick location

Inventory settings:

store-1 inventory = 4 eaches
DOOR2 inventory = 5 eaches and 50 cases (CS:4)

Results

Shipping Order page

The Line Entries page shows the order quantity and pickable quantity.

The Pick Tickets page shows the same line entry along with the primary pick location and the expected planned (order) quantity.

Work order

The platform generates work orders that complete the requirements in the replenishment rule. In this example:

move two cases (CS:4) to the primary pick location
move two eaches to the primary location

The Inventory By Location module shows the results. Floor staff used the RF scanner to move 2 cases (CS:4) and 2 eaches (total of 10 eaches) to the primary pick location.

This was the quantity specified in the replenishment rule but does not deliver the quantity needed to fulfill the shipping order (25 eaches).
