Job Type

Understanding Job Type

What is Job Type?

A Job Type is a simple label you assign when setting up a Job Creation. It helps you differentiate between different execution approaches for the same job class, such as Shipment Picking, Replenishment, Cycle Count, or Cluster jobs.

Job Types are useful when you want to:

• Separate jobs by customer (e.g., Customer A Picking, Customer B Picking)

• Distinguish jobs by method (e.g., High Bay Picking, Zone-Based Replenishment)

• Filter and assign jobs more efficiently during execution

They do not change how the job behaves technically, but they help organise, track, and filter jobs in the warehouse more effectively. Job Types are particularly useful when filtering in Job Enquiry.

Accessing Job Type

Job Types are assigned in the General Tab of the following Job Creation screens:

• Shipment Picking Job Creation

• Replenishment Job Creation

• Cycle Count Job Creation

• Cluster Job Creation

Any jobs generated through these profiles will be tagged with the selected Job Type. Job Types must be created before Job Creations.

This allows operational teams to clearly distinguish between different job flows and tailor assignments or reporting accordingly.
