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.
Note: If you are managing cut products, see Handling Cut Products Using RF.
Using your RF gun, select one or multiple orders to pick. When you display the Pick Select screen, enter the pick group. You can display all picks by entering All.
The orders 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.
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 Pick control maintenance record been set, then the system selects each order for a user to pick. The system displays the selected orders 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 Warehouse Management > RF Applications > RF Main Menu, select Picking to display the Pick In Process screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
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.
Note: If you are selecting cuttable products, use the Scan Prd hot key to select all like products that need to be cut together.
The system enters your pick group, as defined in User Maintenance, as the default, and the following data:

If the Display Weight On RF Pick Select Screen Display Weight On RF Pick Select Screen control maintenance record is set to Y, the system displays the weight for the order on which the cursor is placed. |

|
If the Auto Display Comments Attached To Line Items In RF Picking control maintenance record is set to Yes, then line item comments display after the scanning a product. If line item comments do not automatically display, users can use the hot key to display attached comments, if any. |
|
Use the Auto Display Shipping Instructions In RF Picking and Auto Display Shipping Instructions In RF Staging control maintenance records to set shipping instructions to display. Users can access the shipping instructions with the Alt-I hot key which highlights when instructions are attached. |
If any items require Mill Test Report heat numbers, the RF Heat Number Entry screen displays. Enter the heat numbers and continue.
Place the cursor next to each order 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. 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 Maintenance > Branch menu, select Branch to display the Branch Maintenance window.
In the Branch field, enter the branch for which you want to define the one-pick ship via.
From the Maintenance menu, select Ship Via Branch Overrides to display the Ship Via Branch Overrides window.
In the Ship Via field, select the ship via to define as a one-pick ship via.
