Program Flow Overview

A background process PIQR (Pick Queue Runner), creates PIKT (Pick Track) records from invoices sent to the queue by parts salespeople.  A picker enters their number at a terminal in the warehouse, and a printer prints pick tickets for them.  The print time is recorded.  After picking or looking for the parts, the picker enters the picked or looked information.  The finish time is recorded.  Managers track picking information in program PIKM (Pick Manager).  Salespeople track picking information in program PIKT.  From their screen, they can create POs or SORs for parts not in stock.
PIKT can "shell" to the I function, so a salesman can toggle between the 2 programs without using 2 logins.

This is the main pick status screen.
  • Monitor pick tickets and invoices
  • Refreshes itself
  • Shell to I function to print invoices
  • Add a picker note that prints on pick ticket
