====== Zone Box Picking Flow ====== 

===== Overview =====

With the Zone Box Picking Flow on the Mobile Client, it is possible to select specific zones in the warehouse and perform the picking process directly into boxes on a cart. For information on configuring zones and zone types see [[implementation:wms:confguide_main:zones_and_zone_types|Working with Zones and Zone Types]].

The flow is based on a single picklist or a wave containing picklists for multiple customers. 

If a full SSCC is picked, the system keeps the existing SSCC number, otherwise the system generates an SSCC number when the first item is picked.

The process always requires the use of a movable location. When the picking process is completed for the wave, the [[implementation:wms:unload_movable_locations|Unload Movable Locations to Dock Flow]] can be started on the Mobile Client to unload the movable locations to the dock.

===== Configuration =====

<wrap em>Important:</wrap> The Zone Box Picking Flow is a new framework. When upgrading to product version 2020.09, the system creates a copy on the Extension Parameters and applies the settings to the Zone Box Picking Flow. Then the Zone Box Picking Flow can be configured only in the database, that is, if any Extension Parameter is changed in SAP Business One later on, the change does not affect the Zone Box Picking Flow.

**Exceptions**: The following settings have a fixed value. If they are changed in the database, the change does not have any effect.

^Picklist Controller^Setting^Value^
|All, except Ad Hoc Picking section|Auto select the wave?|always false|
|:::|Consolidate items to pick?|always false|
|:::|Allow to identify the SSCC to pick on?|always true|
|General section|Allow multiple customers on SSCC?|always false|

Zone Picking settings: By default, the following settings are disabled on the [[implementation:wms:picklistcontroller#zone_picking|picklist controller]].
  * //Lock wave by zone/user// 
  * //Only show completely unlocked waves in case of zone picking// 

**[[implementation:wms:plty|Produmex Picklist types]]**\\
It is important to enable the correct setting in **Produmex Picklist types** table for the workflow to properly work. **Enable the "Use for Zone Picking" setting matched to the picklist type!**

Open the following menu to set the setting:\\ **Tools > Default Forms > PMX_PLTY Produmex Picklist tyes**

{{ :implementation:wms:functional:pickingflows:box_cart:select_a_logistic_carrier.png |Select a logistic carrier}}

====11. Identify the destination SSCC====

If an SSCC has already been created for the customer while performing the picking process in the wave, the system displays the Identify SSCC to Confirm screen and you have the following options:

  * Scan the destination SSCC. 
    * The screen lists only open SSCCs, but a closed SSCC can be scanned as well if it has not been unloaded yet. In this case the system asks if you want to reopen the SSCC. 
    * If the identified destination SSCC is on a movable location different from the movable location that has been selected in the flow before, the system will use this movable location as the currently selected movable location. A different movable location can be selected on the [[implementation:wms:functionalguide:zone_box_picking_flow#other_tasks|Other Tasks]] screen.
    * Continue with section [[implementation:wms:functionalguide:zone_box_picking_flow&#items_are_picked|13. Items are picked]].

  * To create a new SSCC, tap the ''New SSCC'' button and continue with section [[implementation:wms:functionalguide:zone_box_picking_flow&#select_a_logistic_carrier|10. Select a logistic carrier]]. 

  * To close the SSCC manually, tap the ''Close SSCC'' button. 
    * The status of the SSCC is set to //Is ready for packing//.
    * If the [[implementation:wms:printevents_list#pickingnew_lu_full|200 - Picking: New LU full]] print event is set for the picklist type, the print event is triggered when the SSCC is closed.

====12. Identify a movable location====

On the Identify Movable Location screen scan a movable location or select one from a list.

To select a movable location from a list, proceed as follows.

  - Tap the ''Select Movable Location'' button.
  - On the Select a Movable Location screen select a movable location from the list.
  - Tap the right arrow button to proceed with the flow.

Continue with section [[implementation:wms:functionalguide:zone_box_picking_flow&#items_are_picked|13. Items are picked]].

{{ :implementation:wms:functional:pickingflows:box_cart:select_a_movable_location.png |Select a movable location}}

====13. Items are picked====

The system displays the message //The items are picked//. Tap ''OK''.

  * The status of the picklist line is //Picked//. If there is another item in the picklist to be picked, the status of the picklist is //Partially picked// and the system goes to step [[implementation:wms:functionalguide:zone_box_picking_flow&#select_an_item_to_pick|4. Select an item to pick]].

  * If the status of all the picklist lines in the picklist is //Picked//, the status of the picklist is //Picked//. 

  * When the picking process is completed for the zone, the system informs you that there is no more item to pick in the selected zone. The system closes all the SSCCs that have not been closed manually in the wave. 
    * The status of all closed SSCCs is //Is ready for packing// and the status of all finished picklists is //Picked//. The flow goes to step [[implementation:wms:functionalguide:zone_box_picking_flow&#select_a_wave|2. Select a Wave]].
    * If the [[implementation:wms:printevents_list#pickingnew_lu_full|200 - Picking: New LU full]] print event is set for the picklist type, the print event is triggered when the SSCCs are closed.

When the picking process is completed, the [[implementation:wms:unload_movable_locations|Unload Movable Locations to Dock Flow]] allows for selecting the wave and the process of unloading the movable locations to the dock can be started. The Unload Movable Locations to Dock Flow supports fully picked waves and partially picked waves if the status of the picklist is //Picked// and the SSCC is closed.
