Today I'm going to talk a little bit more about the
new marshalling feature in the Syspro 2023 release.
Marshalling forms part of the greater picking process
and that process starts with a sales order entry.
There's now a new ability against the customer
account to flag them from marshalling.
So marshalling adds an additional step
to the entire pick and outbound process.
In essence,
it starts with the sales order entry,
and the sales order entry proceeds as normal,
and then we add an item onto the sales order.
We might optionally also create the item against
a load from a grouping and planning point of view.
And this item obviously qualifies
for some trade promotional discounts.
Let's go and complete the line on this particular order.
Once the lines are entered,
we can now go and effectively complete the order.
And the order system now allows us
to go and effectively create a pick.
We need to identify the destination bin.
We're going to do some consolidation
and packing of this particular item.
So we create the pick,
and we then confirm the release for picking.
We can either allow for FIFO depletion,
or we can allow the selection of the source lot.
If there are expires at play,
then FIFO depletion can be deployed to select the oldest slot first.
That allows us to then create the pick against the order,
and we can then proceed into the pick and dispatch function.
So we can do our pick maintenance in the web-based interface.
If we pick up that pick order,
I can then
allocate the picker to this particular function.
I can then release the pick for process,
and I can effectively start that pick process.
The system can optionally generate a pick slip.
We can then flag that pick as in process,
and then we can complete and mark it as complete.
This effectively sends the pick
into the status of marshalling.
What we can also do is use the Espresso interface,
and we can use that to affect the same type of
transaction where we can identify the picker.
And we can then go and define the pick that's been completed.
Let me first start the pick in effect,
and then I can go and define the pick quantity
that has been picked against this particular order.
Like we do in a web-based application,
I can move the pick status in a marshalling.
Once I have the pick status in a marshalling.
Once I have the picks and the status of marshalling,
we can then affect the Marshalling function.
The marshalling allows us to accumulate
the picks that have been completed,
and we can accumulate and group them in different ways.
We can obviously do that by bin.
We can also do it by customer.
So we can then select a particular customer.
This allows us to group the orders
into a single marshalling function.
So marshalling is an additional quality check to
make sure that the orders are being picked correctly.
I can also then,
in addition to this,
add new outer or a new pack.
This could be of any container of any shape or form.
Once I have got that particular pack or outer,
I can then select it.
I can add the marshalled orders to that particular container.
At this point,
I can generate labeling and documentation at the container level.
Once we save those particular items to that container,
I can then dispatch these items.
I can dispatch them in one particular grouping.
I can then go and effectively dispatch that particular container
with all the orders in that container in one particular process.
That makes a lot more sense from a control point of view.
We can obviously have that as a measurement criteria.
I can go and look at my marshal packages and my rate of marshalling.
How long it takes for marshalling and that
is a control point in the outbound logistics.
It obviously moves the sales orders in a status of either
ready to invoice or ready to produce dispatch notes.
Thank you very much.
