Use RF manifest picking to pick entire shipments in the order they will be delivered. The differences between manifest picking and non-manifest picking are:
The system does not display manifest picks until they are released. The system displays non-manifest picks as soon as the order is entered.
With manifest picking, the system directs you to pick orders on manifests based on the order in which they are delivered. With non-manifest picking, the system directs you to pick whichever order has been entered next, regardless of delivery order.
With manifest picking, the system combines all orders for the same stop so that they can be loaded onto the truck together. With non-manifest picking, you load orders onto trucks at your own discretion.
Note: Before beginning manifest picking, set each pick group's pick task size, as needed.
To pick a manifest:
From the Whse Mgt > RF Applications > Misc menu, select Manifest Picking to display the Pick In Process screen.
Note: You can also access the Pick In Process screen from the Whse Mgt > RF Applications menu by selecting Picking. By accessing the screen this way, both manifest and non-manifest picks display. When you select a pick, make sure it is a manifest.
In the Br field, edit the branch for which you are picking, if necessary.
The system displays "No Picks Queued" on the screen if you have not already been assigned or selected an order to pick.
Use the Slct hot key to choose a manifest to pick.
Once you have selected a manifest, press Esc to return to the Pick In Process screen.
On the Pick In Process screen, notice the product information in the following fields:
Field |
Description |
Order |
The manifest number. |
Desc |
The item to pick. Note: Use the Picks hot key to view all items in the manifest stop needing to be picked. |
T |
The product's status, such as S for stock. |
Location |
The location from where you pick the product. |
Qty |
The quantity needing to be picked. |
Tote |
The tote number displays after you scan it. For subsequent picks, the scanned tote displays. Note: You can use multiple totes to pick a single order, if needed. |
Note: If the letter C is highlighted in the Picks hot key, the pick that you selected has a comment attached to it. Click on the item description in the Desc field to view the comment.
Physically go to the picking location identified in the Location field.
Scan the product.
Scan the location.
Note: Your RF gun in a positive tone if you have scanned the displayed product and location to pick and in a negative tone if you have scanned a product or location to pick that is not displayed. If you have scanned a product or location that is not displayed, the system prompts you to scan in the displayed product or location. You can still scan in another location. The system takes product from the new location and generates a cycle count for both locations. You must still scan in the displayed product.
If the product you are putting away is serial number-tracked, enter the serial number for the product on the displayed Serial Number Entry screen.
If the quantity you picked is different from the quantity displayed in the Qty field, use the Qty hot key to handle the pick variance. If authorized, you can increase the quantity to the product's packaged amount.
Note: The system displays the tote that you most recently scanned for picking, as long as you have not staged that tote. You can add another tote, as needed. If the RF Enable Tote Validation control maintenance record is activated, the system validates that you scan a tote label in this field.
If the item you are picking is lot controlled, scan the item's lot label.
The system displays the next item to pick.
Repeat this process until you have picked all items for the manifest stop.
After picking all items, the Tote Stage screen displays so you can stage the tote.
If you need to stage a tote before you have picked all items, use the Stage hot key to display the Staging Select screen and select the tote you want to stage. Once you select the manifest, the Tote Stage screen displays.
Press Esc to save changes and exit the screen.
