Picking Slip Statuses (v2.8)

Every picking slip in Micronet has a status which tells you how far the slip has progressed. The status of slips changes automatically when they are downloaded to PDAs and then completed and posted back to Micronet. Colours are used to identify the status of the picking slips so you can quickly and easily tell which slips need attention.

 

Technical Tip

Picking slips are only displayed in their status colours if your company is uses supply chain procurement. For more information, refer to "Edit - Program - Supply Chain Config (v2.8)".

This table explains the colours displayed on the Warehouse Scheduler - Picking Slips tab and what action you should take for picking slips displayed in a particular colour:

Status description

 

 

 

 

All items on the order are in stock; the order is ready for picking

 

 

 

 

The slip will be downloaded to a PDA automatically according to either priority or picker

 

 

 

 

Paperless Queue

The picking slip is ready for downloading to a PDA, with no special requirements.

Paperless Queue - Linked

The picking slip is linked to one or more other slips for picking, but each slip can still be invoiced separately. For more information about this status, see "Linking Picking Slips for Picking".

Paperless Queue - Assigned to Picker

The picking slip has been assigned to a picker.

Paperless Queue - Wait Instructions

 

 

Similar to a slip in Paperless Queue status, except that when these slips are posted back and recalled for invoicing, Micronet displays the message "Please read Instructions". This status is used as a reminder when invoicing that there may be special instructions entered as text lines on the order that need to be read.

Paperless Queue Pick Pack Don't Inv

Similar to a slip in Paperless - Wait Instructions status, except that when these slips are posted back and recalled for invoicing, Micronet displays the message "Pick, Pack No Ship". This status is used to ensure that payment is made before the goods are invoiced. An accurate invoice amount cannot be determined until the goods have been picked.

Paperless Held - Wait

The picking slip has been put on hold manually via the EDIT SCHEDULE | SET SELECTED TO HELD option, e.g. to wait for a quote or because the customer might not want the order.

Paperless Held - Debtor Hold

The debtor's account is on hold. The slip will retain its place in the queue but will never be downloaded until its status is changed to "Paperless Queue". This ensures that the order is approved by the relevant people before being picked. Micronet automatically updates the status of picking slips when a debtor's account is taken off hold.

Paperless Held - ?? Error

Micronet has detected an error in an order received via Data.Connect, e.g. an incorrect part number.

Paperless Held - Duplicate Order

Micronet has detected that an order received via Data.Connect has the same order number as an existing order and may be a duplicate. Check before assigning to the paperless queue.

Paperless Held - Price Error

Micronet has detected that an order received via Data.Connect has a different price to the price it has calculated. Check before assigning to the paperless queue.

Paperless Held - GP Error

The order does not meet the minimum gross profit set in the product category file. This allows the order to be manually checked before it is reassigned to the paperless queue for picking.

Technical Tip

  • Orders with a status of "Slip Printed" are traditional printed picking slips that are awaiting manual picking. These slips can be set the paperless queue if required.
  • Once a picking slip has been invoiced, it is no longer displayed on the Warehouse Scheduler - Picking Slips tab. However, you can view invoiced picking slips by selecting All Invoices in the Warehouse View field then selecting REFRESH.
