Topic overview
The reorganization application Reorganize picking orders is used to reorganize picking orders. Below you will find, among other things, descriptions of how to use the reorganization application and its parameters. You will also be informed about the effects of the reorganization.
The reorganization applications are executed by the Reorganization jobs application. The description of this application can be found in the Reorganization jobs article. It also contains a procedure on how to run the reorganization application.
In the Reorganization jobs application, various reorganization applications are added to a list in order to execute them one after the other with a reorganization job. In order for reorganization to actually take place, a certain sequence within the list must often be adhered to. This is the only way to resolve usages. This sequence can be found in the Reorganization sequence article.

Picking (order)

Application description
The reorganization application Reorganize picking orders is used to reorganize picking orders. The picking orders that have been marked for deletion are used. Whether the respective picking order is actually reorganized depends on the relationships to the following voucher chain and the following preconditions.
Voucher chain
The picking order is contained in the standard system in relationships to the following other vouchers via the voucher chain:
- Purchase order
- Sales order
- Distribution order
- Production order
- Delivery order
- Inventory order
- Customer invoice
- Receipt of goods
The inventory order and the customer invoice are follow-on vouchers, all other documents are predecessor vouchers. According to the voucher chain, the delivery order is a predecessor voucher, but picking orders should be reorganized first and then delivery orders.
Requirements
The picking order voucher may only be reorganized under certain conditions. The following validations must be carried out to determine this.
Set validation for deletion marker
- A picking order must have the status Completed or Delivered.
Validation for reorganization
- The deletion marker must be set.
- A picking order may not have an inventory order as a follow-up voucher, or associated inventory orders must already have been reorganized.
- A picking order may not have an open request for inventory order generation.
Effects
If the requirements for the reorganization are met, the picking order is reorganized. The following data of the picking order to be reorganized is physically deleted:
- picking order
- all line items of the picking order
- all identfiier assignments of the picking order
- all quantity information of the picking order for the source order line item
- all identfier information in the reporting of the picking order per source order line item
The customer invoices linked to the reorganized picking order are marked. This makes these vouchers aware of this special status of the missing delivery order.
The identification (type and number) of the reorganized picking order is stored together with the GUID in the Voucher reorganization data business entity.
The reorganization application is executed via the Reorganization jobs application. Further information on this application can be found in the Reorganization jobs article.
Parameters
