6If something does not work #
"The pick bin must be a bin of this storage space. Pick it again." / "Bin ... is Inactive. Pick a bin in use."
- Why
- An item's pick bin is a bin in use of the storage space the settings are for.
- What to do
- Pick another bin.
"Bin ... is a ... bin. An item is picked from a Pick face or a Storage bin."
- Why
- A Receiving, Staging, Packing, Dispatch, QC hold, Damage or Returns bin is not somewhere stock is picked from.
- What to do
- Pick a Pick face or Storage bin, or change the bin's type on the Bin master.
"Least to keep (...) is above most to keep (...). The pick bin is topped up from the least up to the most." / "Least to keep can't be below zero." / "Most to keep can't be below zero."
- Why
- The pick bin is topped up when it falls below the least, up to the most; the least cannot be the larger.
- What to do
- Swap or correct the two quantities.
"Least and most to keep belong to a pick bin. Pick the bin, or clear the two quantities."
- Why
- The two quantities say when a pick bin is topped up; without a pick bin they say nothing.
- What to do
- Pick the bin, or clear the quantities.
"'...' is not batch-tracked, so it has no expiry dates to pick by. Switch batches on for the item on the Item Master first, or leave Expiry decides picking off."
- Why
- Expiry is kept on batches. An item without batches has no expiry to pick by.
- What to do
- Turn batch tracking on for the item on the Item Master, or leave the switch off.
"Count class must be A, B or C, or empty." / "Putaway class can't exceed 20 characters."
- Why
- The value is outside what the field holds.
- What to do
- Pick A, B or C; shorten the putaway class.
"Width must be above zero - leave it empty when it is not known." (also Depth, Volume, Units per case, Cases per pallet)
- Why
- A size or a handling quantity of zero means nothing.
- What to do
- Clear the box, or give a number above zero.
"That item no longer exists."
- Why
- The item was deleted while it was open here.
- What to do
- Search again.
"No stock item open to your branch has '...' in its name, alias or code." / an item is not in the list
- Why
- The list offers stock items in use that are shared to every branch or allocated to the branch you signed in to.
- What to do
- Check the spelling; then the item's Inactive mark, Affect Stock and branch allocation on the Item Master.
"No item with warehouse settings matches. Switch "Only items with settings" off to search every item."
- Why
- The switch limits the list to items that already have a pick bin here or a setting of their own.
- What to do
- Switch it off and search again.
"... has no Pick face or Storage bin in use, so no pick bin can be chosen yet. ..."
- Why
- A pick bin is chosen from the storage space's Pick face and Storage bins that are not Inactive, and it has none.
- What to do
- Create the bins on Warehouse layout. The item's own settings can be saved meanwhile.
"Showing ... of ... items - type part of a name or a code and press Enter."
- Why
- The list shows 200 items at a time.
- What to do
- Search for the item.
