Sort Job Traveler BOM by Bin Location instead of Seq. No

Hello there,

When we print a job traveler it sorts our BOM that we use to pick by sequence No. Since we have many Bin locations this results in inefficient pathing as they pick by sequence number.

I do not have the authority to modify our epicor set up, but I am just wondering if this is possible.

This would make our employees much more efficient. So any advice we could get on how this would be done would be great.

Thanks.

It sounds like you are looking to modify only the Job Traveler report definition.
If you are going to do this then get ready to learn the world of subreports.
I hope you are already familiar.

In the top level report is a reference to the subreport: Traveler_RawMaterialCompoents.
When I look into that subreport I can find a reference to how the repeating Material Lines are grouped on the Material Seq.
If I had to try to modify what you are asking, this is where I’d start:

I think that you have a start point of the Row Groups focusing on the Material Sequence (MtlSeq) in this portion and I assume you’d need to start your modification there.
But there is a lot of work and testing to see if the truly is the spot you need to start editing in a copy of this group of reports.

Hopefully this will get you headed on a path for what you need to look at to accomplish your goals.
Good luck!
Ben

We use the job picklist grouped on AssemblySeq and then sort by BinNum
