I have a conceptual question to see if SAP provides this functionality. Say I have 100 production orders scheduled several hours in the future, perhaps in time window of 2-4 pm. These will naturally lead to pick transfer requirements.
My question is whether SAP has any standard functionality to capacity schedule/level the logistics personnel to perform those picks according to an optimum cadence. For example, say we know that picker can only do 30 transfer order picks an hour. Out of the 100 transfer orders, 75 are in 2-3 pm window and 25 are in 3-4 pm window. So in this situation, the single picker would have to start picking at a certain time to have all the material staged for production in time. Or perhaps Logistics could add a second picker.
Is there any SAP component that can suggest such a picking schedule? In other words, there would have to be a means to put in picking capacity (1 picker = 30 TOs/hour), and a schedule gets generated? Or maybe that schedule is in the form of TOs being scheduled at certain time slots.
Thanks, Vlad
