Description
Check per-line picking completeness and separate shortfall from excess.
Supply-chain counts distinguish individual units, case packs, dispatches, receipts, in-transit stock and returns. A signed residual can expose an inconsistent record rather than prove physical loss. Costs, clearances and expiry/retest dates use separate conventions; accurate arithmetic does not replace stock inspection, material release or contractual review.
Check per-line picking completeness and separate shortfall from excess.
When to use this tool
Use Outbound Order Pick Complete Flag when you already have requiredLineCounts, pickedLineCounts and need to check per-line picking completeness and separate shortfall from excess.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter requiredLineCounts, pickedLineCounts. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read complete, shortfallByLine, excessByLine. Inspect complete before interpreting the associated values.
Require aligned arrays of nonnegative safe whole required/picked counts. Return positive parts of required-picked and picked-required; complete means every shortfall is zero.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| requiredLineCounts | Required Line Counts | Required. Array of safe integer; maximum items 256. |
| pickedLineCounts | Picked Line Counts | Required. Array of safe integer; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| complete | Every line shortfall is zero; excess picks and an empty list still permit true. | Required. Boolean. |
| shortfallByLine | Shortfall By Line | Required. Array of safe integer; maximum items 256. |
| excessByLine | Excess By Line | Required. Array of safe integer; maximum items 256. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- An empty order is complete by convention, and excess picks still allow complete=true; item identity, quality and authorization are not checked.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile item-level dispatch, receipt, return and inventory ledgers against physical stock and lot records. Use actual package dimensions, handling plans and release documents when a quantity margin alone cannot answer an operational question.
