Use directed put away to put away product in one of the following three sequences, as defined in the RF Put Away Method control maintenance record.
Note: The Empty Location setting applies only to limited users who have set up warehouse locations in a location database. For more information, contact Eclipse Advanced Technical Support.
After setting a put away sequence, begin the put away process.
The system directs you to put away product in the youngest location holding the product. If the youngest location is not available to hold the product, then the system directs you to the following locations respectively as they are available:
Another location containing the product.
A blank location.
This method is useful if your warehouse uses the first in first out (FIFO) logic for controlling inventory.
The system directs you to put away product in an empty location which holds the product. If there are not any empty locations available to hold the product, then the system directs you to a blank location.
This method is useful if your warehouse is large. The system direction to empty locations saves users from having to search for such locations.
Note: The Empty Location setting applies only to limited users who have set up warehouse locations in a location database. For more information, contact Eclipse Advanced Technical Support.
After you receive product, scan the tote holding the received items into the Directed Put Away screen and follow the system's directions to put away all items.
Display the Directed Put Away screen by doing one of the following:
From the Recv Verify screen, after scanning in the product bar code and tote, use the PutAwy hot key.
From the Warehouse Management > RF Applications > RF Main Menu, select Recv Put Away.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
In the Br field, edit the branch number to which the product belongs, if necessary.
Select the tote or totes that you want to put away by doing one of the following:
Use the Select hot key to display the Putaway Select screen. Place the cursor next to each tote you want to put away and press Enter. After selecting all totes to put away, press Esc to return to the Put Away screen.
Scan the tote you want to put away. Use the Add hot key to scan additional totes to put away simultaneously. Use this hot key to consolidate totes for the put away process.
The system displays the first item to put away and the put away location in directed mode.
Note: If the tote you are putting away contains product that is being moved using the RF Move Product functionality, the put away mode defaults to non-directed and the Dirct hot key is disabled. After you put away the product being moved, the put away mode switches back to directed and the Dirct hot key is re-enabled. If the Put Away screen does not return to directed mode, use the Dirct hot key to access directed mode.
Physically move to the product location.
Scan the item.
The system displays the expected put away quantity based on the amount verified into the tote, as well as the current quantity of product at the location. The product ID displays in the top right corner of the screen.
Note: If the actual quantity in the tote is different from the quantity received, use the Qty hot key to handle the overage or shortage, as needed.
Physically put the item in its location.
Scan the location.
Note: If you scan a location that is not the expected put away location, the system prompts you to confirm the location. Enter Y to confirm the location.
At the prompt to verify put away quantity, enter the quantity you are putting away.
Note: This prompt displays only if the RF Verify Put-Away Qty control maintenance record is activated.
If the message "INCORRECT QTY!! Abort to Chng or Verify Putaway Qty" displays, do one of the following:
If you entered the incorrect quantity, re-enter the correct quantity.
If you are putting away a different quantity, press F12 and use the Qty hot key to change the quantity you are putting away. Then handle the overage or shortage, as needed.
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.
Note: If the Store Serial Numbers By Location control maintenance record is set to Y, the system stores serial numbers by location, which becomes the assigned location for such serialized products. This location assignment directs you to put away product in the assigned location. During picking, the system directs you to pick product based upon the assigned location for the serial numbers using FIFO logic.
In the Lot field, for all lot controlled products, scan or enter the lot number for the product.
Note: To print lot labels, use either the Tote/Lot Label Printing screen or the Product Lot Barcode Labels screen.
The system displays the next item to put away.
Repeat this process until you have put away all items on the selected totes.
Press Esc to save updates and exit the screen.
