After you pack orders into cartons for a manifest, use Carton Loading to load the manifest onto a delivery vehicle.
The system directs you to load a manifest's cartons in reverse-delivery sequence. Cartons being delivered last are loaded first and cartons being delivered first are loaded last. If you cannot or do not want to load a manifest's cartons in reverse-delivery sequence, you can determine the sequence in which to load the manifest's cartons.
For example, you cannot find the carton the system is directing you to load. It is possible that another warehouse operator moved the carton without recording the move in the system. Instead of stopping the loading process to find the carton, continue loading the rest of the manifest by skipping the missing carton. After loading all other cartons for the manifest, you can take the time to find the missing carton.
With user-directed loading, you must select cartons on the same manifest. After loading a carton out of reverse-delivery sequence, you can continue to load the manifest through system-directed loading or through user-directed loading.
You can also select to permanently alter the sequence of system-directed loading by using the Skip hot key on the Truck Load screen. When you use this hot key, the system places the skipped carton at the bottom of the carton list for the manifest. It then displays the next carton on the manifest to load. After you have loaded all other cartons for the selected manifest, the system re-displays the skipped carton for you to load. You must load all skipped cartons before moving onto the next manifest. If you skip more than one carton, the system groups the cartons together at the bottom of the list.
If packing and shipping master cartons, the RF Load functionality directs users to load only the master cartons or any unnested, regular cartons. Users are not required to scan and load packed and nested cartons onto master cartons separately. When the master carton is loaded, the nested cartons are automatically updated to a LOADED status.
Note: Before using Carton Loading, enable all ship vias with which to the use the functionality.
To load a manifest's cartons:
From the RF Main Menu > RF Load menu, select Load Carton to display the Truck Load screen.
Note: If prompted, log in to the character-based Eclipse system.
At the Br prompt, enter the manifest's shipping branch.
In the Ctn field, scan the first carton, manifest ID, or staging location to indicate the manifest that you want to load.
Note: If you scan a staging location and more than one manifest has been staged in the location, the system prompts you to select the manifest to load. Select the manifest and press Enter.
The system displays the first carton for the manifest to load based on reverse-delivery sequence, along with additional information in the header:
You can load a carton other than the one displayed, if needed. Do one of the following:
In the Truck ID field, scan the truck onto which you are loading the carton.
If you scan the incorrect truck ID, the system places the cursor back in the Truck ID field prompting you to scan the correct truck. Scan the correct truck ID as displayed in the Via field.
Load the carton onto the truck.
Repeat steps 4-6 for each carton on the manifest.
Note: If the system displays a carton still needing to be loaded for the manifest but you cannot find the carton to load, you must research why the carton is not available to load. If the material in the carton is not going to be shipped with this manifest, authorized personnel must remove the carton and material from the order generation. If the material is going to be shipped with this manifest, load it as soon as it is available.
Press Esc to save changes and exit the screen.
