Picking parts is how your team allocates inventory from a warehouse bin to an active work order. That allocation affects inventory control and work in process (WIP) reporting, so it matters how you represent what is physically on the floor versus what is consumed.

In electronics manufacturing, it is common to move a full reel to the line even when the job only needs a portion of the components. If you pick the entire reel just to show it moved, you can overstate WIP. If you do separate bin moves and manual updates, the process becomes slower and easier to get wrong.

What Full Bin Pick Does

Full Bin Pick in Cetec ERP lets you allocate the full quantity of a specific bin to a specific work order in one action. The work order then occupies that bin, which is useful when the physical bin is moving to production and will be consumed over time.

Enable the Full Bin Pick Button

To enable the button, an admin user should go to the Admin module, open Config Settings, then open Config Settings from the dropdown. Search for "Order - Show Full Bin Pick Button", set the value to 1, and save.

Use the All Button on the Pick Parts Screen

Once enabled, the Pick Parts screen for a work order shows a blue All button on the far right for each bin line. Clicking All picks the entire bin and renames the bin to the work order number so it is clear that the bin is allocated to that job.

For example, if a bin contains 25 units of a part and you click All for that bin on work order 67.1 Line 1, the system allocates the full bin to that work order and renames the bin to match the work order naming. From there, you can still pick and consume the required quantity as the job runs, while the full reel stays associated to the work order.

When to Use Full Bin Pick

Use Full Bin Pick when your physical process requires moving a full bin to production and you want Cetec ERP to reflect that the bin is reserved for that work order. This keeps the allocation clear without turning the move into a separate manual workflow.

Key Takeaways

• Full Bin Pick allocates an entire bin to a specific work order in one action.
• Enable it by setting "Order - Show Full Bin Pick Button" to 1 in Config Settings.
• Use the All button on Pick Parts to pick the full bin and rename it to the work order.
• This is especially useful for reels or bins that move to the line but are consumed over time.

Conclusion

Full Bin Pick is a practical way to show that a full bin has moved to and is reserved for a work order, without forcing your team into manual bin moves or overstated WIP. When your warehouse and production teams can allocate the full bin in one step, the system stays easier to read and easier to keep accurate.
