Oracle EBS WMS provides a powerful receiving and putaway engine to help customers to solve complex putaway scenarios.

Following test shows how to do a PO standard receive using WMS RF
– It shows how to setup a putaway rule to direct the receiving putaway

Following are the main steps

1. Setup a putaway rule
2. Assign the putaway rule for the specific Item in the Rules Workbench
3. Create a PO with Standard receiving control
4. Use WMS mobile to receive the PO and create LPN
5. Check the Putaway tasks created for this LPN
6. Use ‘Move Any LPN’ to trigger putaway the LPN
7. Check the Location suggested by the system and make sure it’s expected

Detail Steps and screenshots are as following

1. Setup Putawy Rule
This is a simple rule hard coded the putaway subinventory to ‘CASE’
In real time we can use the ‘Quantity Function’ and ‘Sort Criteria’ to setup complex Putaway rules.

2.In Rules Workbench, assign the rule to Item ZY100
We can setup multiple Putaway Rules and group by Putaway Strategy in real life case

3.Create a PO with Standard Routing

4.Now we can use WMS Mobile to trigger a PO Receive
During receiving, we create an LPN ‘LPN109A’ for this receiving and input detail received SKU/Quantity, in this case it’s ZY100 with 10 quantity
In Live we will apply a pre-printed LPN Label to the pallet and scan as the LPN number or use portable printer to print out the Label real time.

5. Check the Tasks workbench in EBS, it will create a Putaway Task
If we have enabled the Task setup, the worker who can accept the same Task Type can automatically accept this Task in Mobie and work on it.
In this test we can simply use ‘Move Any LPN’ with the LPN number to trigger the Putaway

6.Use ‘Move Any LPN’ function to trigger the Putaway
In this step, system will use the Putaway rule we have setup and get the 1st available Locator in the CASE subinventory
The system suggested subinventory is CASE, which means the Rule engine runned correctly.

7. After putaway, the stock will reside in the same locator.

Oracle WMS contains a powerful rule engine, which enables the end users to create complex picking rules for their inventory.

Following test shows how to configure a FIFO picking rule for lot-controlled Item

Test Case 1 tests the FIFO picking rule

Test Case 2 tests the LIFO picking rule, to compare the different result of these 2 test cases

Following are the detail steps and screenshots

1. Create a new lot controlled SKU ZLOT100 for the test
2. Use WMS mobile to Misc Receive 2 lots into 2 LPN to the same location, each with 10 qty
3. Create a FIFO picking rule
4. Configure the rule in the Rules Workbench
5. Release the Sales Order and create the Picking Task
6. Use ‘Accept Any Task’ to Accept the Task and check the system suggested picking LPN
7. Cancel the task when we get the suggested LPN for the 1st SO, also cancel SO to avoid confusion
8. Change the Picking rule to LIFO
9. Create another same Order and release
10. Accept the new task and see the suggested LPN

Detail Steps and screenshots are as following

1. Create a new Item ZLOT100 with lot control
   
2. Misc Receive 2 Lots, each with 10 quantity to 2 LPN
   LPN105A and LPN107A
   
3. Create a Picking Rule
   
4. Following tab is the key, setup the ‘Sort Criteria’ using the Lot Creation Date
   
5. In Rules Workbench, assign the new Picking Rule to the Item
   
6. Create a Sales Order and release it
   
7. Login as user ‘rbeezly’ and ‘Accept Any Task’
   In the Mobile page, system suggest to pick from LPN105A, this is in line with FIFO rule
   
8. Now cancel the task and the SO, this will put the pending LPN back to stock
   
9. Change the Same Picking Rule, change its sorting to ‘Descending’, this will make it a LIFO rule
   
10. Create another same Sales Order and Release it
    
11. Use the same User and ‘Accept any tasks’
    This time system suggest to pick from LPN107A instead of LPN105A, this is in line with LIFO and different from the FIFO test earlier
