Cluster picking

Cluster picking is an advanced order fulfillment approach derived from batch picking.

在此策略中，拣货员将多个包裹装入购物车，每个包裹指定一个特定的 销售订单。然后，拣货员前往每个存储位置，并将产品直接放入相关订单的包装中。

这种方法对于订单量大、独特产品相对较少的中型公司来说最为有效，因为该方法无需在拣货后将产品分类到包装中供客户使用。

然而，集群拣货确实有一些缺点。例如，紧急订单无法区分优先级，必须事先手动创建优化批次。因此，拣货过程可能会出现瓶颈。

Example

  1. SO 1 calls for one apple and orange

  2. SO 2 calls for one apple and banana

  3. SO 3 calls for one apple, orange, and banana

Apples are stored in Shelf A, oranges in Shelf B, and bananas in Shelf C.

要同时为三份订单挑选产品，购物车中要装入三个空包装。

Starting at Shelf A, the picker places apples into each package. Next, the picker navigates to Shelf B, and places oranges in the packages designated for SO 1 and SO 3. Finally, the picker pushes the cart to Shelf C, and loads packages for SO 2 and SO 3 with a banana, each.

With the packages for all three SOs packed, the picker pushes the cart to the output location, where the packages are sealed and prepared for shipment.

配置

To enable cluster picking, begin by navigating to Inventory app ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings. Under the Operations heading, activate the Packages and Batch Transfers options.

在设置中激活*软件包*和*批量传输*功能。

Since batch picking is used to optimize the pick operation in Odoo, the Storage Locations and Multi-Step Routes options, under the Warehouse heading, must also be checked on this settings page.

存储位置 允许将产品存储在可以从中拣选的特定位置，而 多步骤路线 可以实现拣选操作本身。

完成后，点击 保存。

Enable *Storage Locations* and *Multi-Step Routes* Inventory > Configuration > Settings.

Packages setup

After the Packages feature is enabled, navigate to Inventory app ‣ Products ‣ Packages, and click the New button to create a new package.

On the new package form, the Package Reference is pre-filled with the next available PACK number in the system. Pack Date is automatically set to the creation date of the form.

Set the Package Use field to Reusable Box.

Example

为便于识别，用于集群分拣的包装被命名为 CLUSTER-PACK-3。在此工作流程中，产品直接使用预定的装运箱进行包装，因此 包装用途 被设置为 一次性包装盒。

创建群组批次

要了解集群拣选在 Odoo 中的工作原理，请导航至 销售 应用程序，并创建将在同一批次中一起完成的 SOs。确认 SOs 后，送货 智能按钮将变为可见。图标内显示的数字代表出货流程的步骤数量。

Example

Begin by creating three SOs for the apples, oranges, and bananas, as shown in the example above.

After confirming the SO, the Delivery smart button displays the number 2, indicating there are two operations to complete: Pick and Delivery.

Example sales order for an apple, orange, and banana.

With the SOs created, orders now must be grouped into batches. To do so, navigate to the Inventory dashboard and select the operation type card, Delivery Orders or Pick (whichever is the first operation in the delivery flow).

Doing so displays a filtered list of outgoing operations with the Ready status, indicating that all the products in the SO are in stock.

注解

Cluster pick batches can be created for outgoing shipments in one, two, or three steps.

点击相应传出操作左侧的复选框，将其添加到批次中。选择所需的采样后，点击 ⚙️ 操作（齿轮） 按钮，并从下拉菜单中选择 添加到批次 选项。

Example

要创建集群批次，如上面的示例 <inventory/misc/cluster_picking/example>` 所示，在配置了两步发货的仓库中，选择以下提货操作：

  • WH/PICK/00007: linked to SO 88 for one apple and orange.

  • WH/PICK/00008: linked to SO 89 for one apple and banana.

  • WH/PICK/00009: linked to SO 90 for one apple, orange, and banana.

Use *Add to batch* button, from the *Action* button's list.

Doing so opens an Add to batch pop-up window, wherein the employee Responsible for the picking can be assigned.

Choose from the two options in the Add to field to either: add to an existing batch transfer, or create a new batch transfer.

To create draft batch pickings to be confirmed at a later date, select the Draft checkbox.

Conclude the process by clicking Confirm.

Show *Add to batch* window to create a batch transfer.

处理批次

To process batches, navigate to Inventory app ‣ Operations ‣ Batch Transfers. Click on a batch to select it.

In the Detailed Operations tab, products that are to be picked are grouped by location.

Under the Source Package or Destination Package field, enter the package used for the picking.

注解

Use the Source Package field when the picking package is configured as reusable on the package form. This means the products are temporarily placed in a container during picking, before getting transferred to their final shipping box.

Alternatively, use the Destination Package field when the product is directly placed in its disposable shipping box during picking.

Example

Process the cluster batch for the three orders of apples, oranges, and bananas example by assigning each picking to a dedicated package.

At the storage location for apples, WH/Stock/Shelf A, assign the apples in all three pickings to one of the three disposable packages, CLUSTER-PACK-1, CLUSTER-PACK-2, or CLUSTER-PACK-3.

Record this in Odoo using the Destination Package field in the Detailed Operations tab.

Example of processing cluster pickings in *Inventory*.

In Barcode

要直接从 条形码 应用程序处理集群采摘，请从 条形码 面板选择 批量转移 按钮。然后，选择所需的批次。

在批次转移屏幕上，分拣中的产品按位置分组，每一行都用颜色编码，以便将同一分拣中的产品联系在一起。

然后，按照提示 扫描源位置 条形码，查看第一个产品的存储位置。然后，扫描产品和包装的条形码以处理传输。

对所有产品重复上述操作，然后点击 验证 按钮。

注解

要查找软件包条形码，请导航至 库存应用程序 ‣ 产品 ‣ 软件包，选择所需的软件包，点击软件包表单顶部的 ⚙️（齿轮） 图标，然后选择 打印 选项。

接下来，从三个打印选项中选择一个，从 软件包参考 字段生成软件包条形码。

显示可生成包装条形码的位置。

Example

Begin processing the cluster picking by going to the first storage location, Shelf A, and scanning the location barcode. Doing so highlights all the pickings that need products from this particular location.

Scan the barcode for the apple, which highlights the picking (labeled in red) for the product Apple, for the picking, WH/PICK/00007.

Then, scan the CLUSTER-PACK-1 package barcode, and place the product in the designated package.

小技巧

创建批量转移并将包裹分配给拣货后，Odoo 通过在产品名称下显示 斜体 名称来建议指定的包裹，确保拣货员将产品放入正确的盒子中。
