The above figure shows the picking task processes.
First, the system evaluates the picking rules to come up with a material allocation.
Next, the system evaluates the task type assignment rules in the sequence indicated by the rule weight, and then assigns the task type of the first rule where the restrictions are met. In this example, the rules have been set up based solely on the subinventory of the task, resulting in the task type assignments indicated above.
Now the task will be split based on equipment capacity.
Finally, after performing the material allocation, task type assignment, and task splitting, the Task Dispatch engine dispatches the tasks to each operator's mobile device, based on their equipment and task type assignment. When the operator completes the task and requests the next task, the system dispatches the next closest task that the operator is qualified to perform with the equipment that is currently available.
Note: The previous example provides a detailed view of picking tasks. However, the Oracle Warehouse Management performs replenishment tasks using an identical process.

Task Management Setup
Setting up task type assignment and dispatch includes setting up the following:
Resources
Equipment items
Equipment resources
Departments
Setting up task type assignment rules
Task Type assignment Rules
The Oracle Warehouse Management Rules Engine enables the system to assign task types to tasks. Like the picking and put away rules, task type assignment rules can be based on a variety of data, including the following:
Unit of measure (UOM) defined for the pick line: for example, if the pallets need to be picked, the Task Type Assignment engine can dispatch tasks to the pallet pickers
Ownership of the material: for example, if the item belongs to XYZ company, and XYZ requires that their hazardous material be handled by a resource that has hazardous material handling skills, then the Task Type Assignment engine will dispatch tasks associated with XYZ's hazardous material handling requirements
Task Type Assignment and Dispatch
Assume that your warehouse has the following human resources, each assigned to the roles and equipment shown in the following table.
Each task type requires the appropriate set of skills and equipment. For example, case picking tasks require a cart and an operator that can pick up the required cases. Alternatively, cold pick tasks require a forklift and a picker who can operate the forklift. Based on the information provided above, task type assignment rules would need to be
set up that assign the appropriate task type whenever the task has certain attributes.
For example, picks of refrigerated items should be assigned the CDPK task type, while case picks should be assigned the CSPK task type.
