Get Warehouse Task - Transport

Explanation

If a transport task is activated in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Task Type Setup tab, a warehouse task is generated when a transport task is created. If that is the case, it is possible to execute the transport task in warehousing as well.

Warehouse tasks can be assigned to a warehouse worker either before that task has been started or when it is started. Warehouse tasks are started in Warehouse Task window.

The warehouse tasks are ordered by their latest start date and priority. If a task has been assigned to a warehouse worker before it was started, this task is prioritized over other tasks. When a new task is started, it is assigned to a specific warehouse worker; depending on the task types and the location groups, he can work on the next task selected.

The transport task can be printed by using the right-mouse button option. A note can also be entered.

Prerequisites

• The warehouse task type setup must be set for the specific task type. The task must have Active status in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Task Type Setup tab.
• The warehouse worker must be entered for the specified site in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker tab. Also, the task type and location group must be entered for the worker and be activated in both Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker/Task Type tab and Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker/Location Group.
• A warehouse task must have been created. It is the task type setup that decides whether a task will be created. You can see if there are any available tasks in Warehouse Tasks. Also, the task must have Released status.

System Effects

When a warehouse task has been selected, the status of the task is changed to Started, which means that the transport task is being performed.
