Minimum Version Required: 24.06

Pre-Conditions

Must have ePick (formerly Voice Pick) included in your current Encompass subscription.

Steps

The Pallet Cuts dashboard allows users to identify and re-pick pallets with cut products, ensuring that available inventory is utilized to fulfill ordered quantities before lost sales leave the warehouse.
​
​

1. Ensure that users responsible for re-picking have the PalletAddUnits Permission.
​
​

2. Navigate to the Encompass Mobile Warehouse.
​
​

3. Prior to loading the pallet onto the delivery truck, go to the Pallet Cuts dashboard within the Load section of the menu.
​
​

4. This dashboard is divided into two sections:

  • Inventory Available: Lists pallets with cut products where on-floor inventory is now available, and offers the option to re-pick.
    ​
    ​

  • Inventory Unavailable: Lists pallets with cut products where inventory is not available, simply for visibility.
    ​
    ​

5. In the Inventory Available section:

  1. Review the list of cut products displayed by pallet.
    ​
    ​

  2. Select the checkbox next to each product to mark it for re-picking.
    ​
    ​

  3. Tap the “Complete Re-Picks” button at the bottom of the page to fill the quantities back into the pallet.

Fields And Definitions

  • Bin Transaction: Record of inventory movement or management
    ​
    ​

  • Skip: Opting to move on from a prompted pick without reducing the pick quantity, usually based on available inventory. This happens in ePick+ by tapping on the menu in the top right corner, then selecting Products and selecting a another product from the list.
    ​
    ​

  • Cut: Reducing the pick quantity for a product based on available inventory. This action happens with ePick+ by tapping on the quantity box and editing the value to anything less than the starting quantity.
    ​
    ​

  • Re-pick: A way to restore orders with cut products after the picking process has been completed.
    ​
    ​

  • Load Groups: A table in Encompass used for configuration of pallet behavior.
    ​
    ​

  • System Setting 3231: Prompt picker to correct bin inventory to zero when cutting or skipping a product. (Off by Default)
    ​
    ​

  • System Setting 527: Allow Users to Request Replenishments from ePick. (Off by Default)

Best Practices

To get the most out of ePick+ while remaining efficient, we recommend this workflow, with System Settings 3231 and 527 both enabled:

  1. When arriving at an empty or low-inventory bin while picking, Skip the product on the first pass.
    ​
    ​

  2. Upon skipping, ensure a replenishment is requested and accept the prompt to correct bin inventory if it is empty.
    ​
    ​

  3. Continue picking the pallet; ePick+ will prompt users to circle back for any product they skipped while picking.
    ​
    ​

  4. Because a replenishment was requested, inventory should be at a pickable level, but if not, Cut the product.
    ​
    ​

  5. Before truck loading, check the Pallet Cuts dashboard, and re-pick any product that’s now available.
