GoldFinch provides the ability to pick and reserve inventory for a Work Order before it is sent to the shop floor. This ensures accurate inventory management for raw materials associated with each Work Order.
Pick Function:
Allows you to reserve specific raw materials against each Work Order, ensuring accurate inventory tracking.
Movements:
In some scenarios, the tight linkage between inventory and the Work Order may not be efficient, such as when:
There are frequent scraps.
The sequence of Work Orders needs to change.
In such cases, Inventory Movements may be a more efficient option. Learn more about movements Replenishing Production Input Bin.
Enable Picking on Work Orders:
Navigate to the Warehouse page and check the Enable Pick on Work Order field.
Set Up Separate Bins:
Set up the Input Bin with the "QC" Bin Type. You cannot pick from the Input Bin.
Once a Pick Ticket is posted, inventory is moved to the Input Bin for consumption.
Avoid moving inventory into or out of the Input Bin to maintain accuracy.
Create a Pick Ticket:
On the Work Order, click Create Pick to generate a Pick Ticket.
Review Inventory Status：
Check the status of available inventory. Partial picking is allowed, but only one open Pick Ticket can exist per Work Order.
Open Pick Ticket:

Create a Production Journal:
You do not need to fully pick the inventory before creating a Production Journal. However, you must have enough picked inventory to cover the Consumption Qty before you can post the journal.
Post the Pick Ticket:
Once posted, the Pick Status on the Work Order will automatically update to Fully Picked or Partially Picked.
Create and Post Product Journals:
Continue with the usual process of creating and posting Production Journals.
Mass Create Pick Tickets for Sales Orders:
