The Picking rule!

Question of the Day!!  

Module : Oracle Order Management (OM)

Question :  What is the Picking rule?

Ans: Picking rules are user-defined set of criteria to define the priorities which Order Management uses when picking items out of finished goods inventory to ship the customer. 

When you define an item you choose a picking rule to determine the order in which revisions, lots, subinventories, and locators are picked for sales order.s. Oracle Order Entry / Shipping submits requests to Oracle Inventory, which uses the information you enter in the Picking Rules window to generate pick lists for sales orders.

If you choose None for any of the criteria fields, Inventory ignores that criterion. For example, if you choose None for Revision, Inventory picks units of an item without regard to revision levels.


Oracle Inventory looks at the picking criteria in the order in which they appear in the Picking Rules window. Then, Inventory looks at the options (except for None options) for each criterion in the order in which they appear beneath each criterion.
