Selecting Orders to Pick in RF

The RF Warehouse Management system sends orders to the Pick Select screen and Warehouse In Process queues rather than printing a picking ticket. To select orders to pick, access the RF system's Pick Select screen.

Using your RF gun, select one or multiple orders to pick. You can also select to pick entire manifests. When you display the Pick Select screen, enter the pick group. You can display all picks by entering All.

The orders or manifests from the queue display by pick groups. The order you select to pick may be a full or partial order depending on whether the order is spread across multiple pick groups.

For example, if an order needs to be picked and the products on the order are in pick groups A, B, and C, the system lists each pick group as a separate pick.

If you want a pick that crosses multiple zones to be combined into one pick, such as orders placed at the counter, define the ship via containing the pick as a one-pick ship via. Using the example above, if you define the ship via for that order as a one-pick ship via, the order displays as a pick on one line only and with a pick group of multi-zone (represented by an asterisk *). On the Pick Select screen, enter an asterisk (*) in the Pick Group field to view all multi-zone picks.

If ship via priorities are set in Ship Via Priority Maintenance, the system displays all orders in the queue based on this sequence. Ship via sorting priorities can also be defined in the RF Pick Selection Sort control maintenance record. The system displays all manifests based on their delivery sequence.

Three instances can occur which make it unnecessary for you to select an order from the Pick Select screen:

If the RF Automatically Select Next Order To Pickcontrol maintenance record has been set, then the system selects each order or manifest for a user to pick. The system displays the selected orders or manifests in sequence on the Pick In Process screen.

If you pick from routing tickets and they have been set to print for your branch, use them to enter the order into your RF gun. With the RF Scan Pick Selections control maintenance record set to Y, scan the bar code on the ticket to enter the order into your gun and begin picking that order.
If you have been assigned a pick from the Warehouse In Process Status Queue, then the system displays the pick on the Pick In Process screen for your user ID.

To select an order to pick from the Pick Select screen:

From the Whse Mgt > RF Applications menu, select Picking to display the Pick In Process screen.
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 an order to pick on the Pick Select screen.
In the Pick Group field, enter one of the following if the correct pick group is not displayed:

ALL – Selects from all orders that need to be picked.
The pick group ID – Indicates the warehouse area from which to pick, such as Y for Yard. The screen only displays orders for the indicated pick group.
Asterisk (*) – Displays only orders defined for multi-zone picking.

The system enters your pick group, as defined in User Maintenance, as the default, and the following data:

Field	Description
Order Wt	If enable in the Display Weight On RF Pick Select Screencontrol maintenance record, displays the weight for the order on which the cursor is placed.
Total Wt	If enable in the Display Weight On RF Pick Select Screencontrol maintenance record, displays the accumulated weight of all orders in the displayed pick group or groups.
Orders	The orders queued to pick display in the following way: ACME Canadian 2J S1353029 OT With the displayed data representing the following: Ship to name (ACME Canadian) Number of picks in pick group (2), pick group (J), order ID (S1353029; manifest IDs are preceded by an M, such as M0001234), ship via (OT). Note: If an asterisk (*) appears as a pick group after the number of picks, then the pick is a complete order combined from multiple zones.

Place the cursor next to each order or the manifest you want to pick and press Enter. An asterisk (*) appears next to each line item you select to pick.

Note: Press Enter again to de-select the order or manifest. If you de-select an order after picking part of it, you still will need to stage or close the tote.

Press Esc to return to the Pick In Process screen.

To define a one-pick ship via and combine a full order across multiple zones:

From the Files > Branch menu, select Branch to display the Branch Maintenance screen.
In the Branch ID/New field, enter the branch for which you want to define the one-pick ship via.
Use the ShipVia hot key to display the Ship Via Branch Overrides/Auto Scheduling screen.
Select the ship via to define as a one-pick ship via.
Use the Addl hot key to display the Branch Shipvia Additional Data screen.
In the Combine All Zones In RF Pick Select field, enter Y to combine all cross-zone full orders assigned to the selected ship via into one pick.
Press Esc to save the changes and exit the screen.
