The Warehouse In Process Queue displays a detailed view of products not yet located and available in inventory. Review this queue throughout the day to monitor warehouse activity and to alert warehouse personnel to problem picks or receivings.
From this queue you can do the following:
Review tickets or receipts that have been processed before the items have been picked or put away.
Edit order ship dates.
Close out orders that you know have been picked or received but are still in the queue for some other reason.
Upon closing RF-picked orders from the Warehouse In Process Queue, you can display the order in the Warehouse Confirmation Queue to complete order processing. When you display the order in the Warehouse Confirmation Queue, the system assigns it the correct status based upon the order's ship via. Process the order as appropriate.
Note: If you are managing cut products, see Handling Cut Products Using RF in the Product Cutting documentation.
