De-allocate order line at status 44 (via API)

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to deallocate an order line, when the status on the line is specifically 44 (pick list printed).

In M3, we can achieve this manually via:

Delivery Toolbox (MWS410) --> Picking Lists (MWS420) --> Picking List Lines (MWS422) --> Allocation (MMS121), and setting the allocated amount to zero. The line on the original order then goes back to unallocated (22), and we can reallocate it and re-release the pick list.

I've been trying to unallocate a line via API using MMS120MI.DeAllocateOrLne to achieve the same as above - but it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried a few other methods, but nothing.

Does anyone know how I could achieve this via scripted API?

Cheers,

Iain

If you want to change the allocation, you can do it in MMS121 without having to create a new picking list.

Anyway, the API to change allocation of a line in a picking status is MMS120MI/PerfDetAlloc.

You can also explore the partial reporting functionnality (MWS010 - parameter 170).

Hello,

You should report your line at 0. Try MHS850MI/AddCOPick - set QTYP = 0 and QTYO = picking quantity to create a back order

Thanks Maxime, that's an interesting point. Unfortunately creating a backorder won't really solve our problem, we are just trying to change the LOT allocated on the same pick list. The scenario here would be the LOT allocated is not physically in stock, so the picker has had to pick from a different LOT, but the pick is still fulfilled.

Thanks Maxime, MMS120MI/PerfDetAlloc was the correct answer. For anyone in the future, the key here was we still had to enter a New Location and New Lot number - despite the fact we are allocating 0 - effectively unallocating it.

You can not call MHS850MI/AddCOPick inside MMS121, only on MWS445/B (panel that open MMS121).
