Title: Work orders - Print Pick Lists
Post by wildco on 03/10/04 at 07:12:41

Is there any way to change the form of the pick list to include Bill of Material Notes? We are a company that typically purchases components and assembles them on-site so we do not use a traveller.

Having the notes print on the pick list (or at least being able to turn on a default to allow it) would allow me to keep my procedures for assembly directly in the DBA Bills of Material, rather than procedure books.

Thank you!

We are mainly a light assembly company, so we have not really used travelers or routings in the past. All assemblies are made from the pick list.

I do see, however, that the traveler will print my BOM notes. Is there any way I can modify the graphical form to print bin locations? Then, I can use a traveller as a pick list and code my procedures directly in the BOM notes. Otherwise, we will have to print 2 pieces of paper, which seems like a waste.

Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.

Have you considered using MS Access or even Crystal to produce the form that you want? Then you could get EXACTLY the information you want in EXACTLY the way you want.

Yes, if it comes to it we will use Crystal, however I was just trying to understand why DBA separated out travellers and pick lists instead of making it one file.

Thank you

I think we may have already added the Bin Location to the Traveler RTM as an invisible field. Let me check - if not, easy enough to do.

They separated them for exactly operations like yours that need to be able to pick-n-pack or do very light assembly and ship, so don't need the extra of a traveler. Just need to know parts and locations and quantities and who to label the box for.
