Wave Centre

Overview

The Wave Centre provides various header-level options, search fields, and grid columns that allow users to manage, search, and monitor wave records efficiently. It acts as a central workspace where users can filter waves, perform bulk actions, print wave documents, manage picking activities, and track the progress of wave processing without opening individual wave records.

Header Level Options

The following options are available under the Options menu in the Wave Centre. These options allow users to perform actions on selected wave records.

• Lock Wave(s): Locks the selected wave(s) to prevent further modifications until they are unlocked.

• Unlock Wave(s): Unlocks previously locked wave(s), allowing users to modify and process them again.

• Merge: Combines multiple selected waves into a single wave for consolidated processing. Waves can be merged only when they belong to the same store, are not in Shipped, Void, Closed, Produced, or Disassembled status, and have the same lock status (locked waves cannot be merged with unlocked waves). During the merge confirmation process, the selected waves must also have the same customer and ship-to address before the merge can be completed.

• Batch Update: Allows users to update selected wave records in bulk.

• Void: Voids the selected wave(s), preventing further processing of the selected records.

• Set Priority: Assigns or updates the priority of the selected wave(s) to control the picking sequence.

• Reassign Picking Task: Reassigns the picking task of the selected wave(s) to another picker or resource.

• Batch Pick Wave(s): Initiates the picking process for multiple selected waves simultaneously. After selecting multiple waves and choosing Batch Pick Wave(s), the selected waves are displayed in the Pick Wave module. The waves are then processed individually, where you can select each wave to Fulfill, Close, and Ship it as required.

These features provide quick actions for managing and viewing wave records.

• Print Wave: Prints the selected wave using the chosen reporting template. Clicking Print Wave opens the Select Reporting Template window, where users can select the required document template (such as Pick Sheet, Shipping Label, or other configured templates) before generating the report. For example, users can select the Shipping Label - Hardy Sales template to print a shipping label for every carton scanned during the pick process. The report includes shipment information retrieved from the Sales Order Header and Sales Order Detail, and users can optionally enable Send to Printer or Capture Signature before generating the report.
