🧩 Understanding Job Type

❓ What is a Job Type?

A Job Type is a simple label you assign when setting up Job Creation.
It helps distinguish between different execution methods for the same job class — such as:

  • 🚚 Shipment Picking

  • 🔄 Replenishment

  • 📊 Cycle Count

  • 📦 Cluster Jobs

🎯 Why Use Job Types?

Job Types don’t change how a job behaves technically, but they help organise, track, and filter jobs across the warehouse. They're especially useful in:

  • 📌 Separating jobs by customer
    (e.g., Customer A Picking vs Customer B Picking)

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

  • 🔍 Filtering jobs during execution
    (particularly useful in Job Enquiry)

🛠️ Accessing Job Type

To access or create a Job Type:

  1. Open the 📂 Navigation Menu

  2. Use the 🔎 Search Bar to type “Job Type”

  3. Or go to:
    ⚙️ Configuration > Functional Area Setup > Job Setup > 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.
