RF SRIAL (Serial Number) Control Maintenance Records

The following control maintenance records belong to the SRIAL (Serial Number) area within the RF (Radio Frequency) category.

Prompt For Serial Numbers In RF

For each branch, indicate whether the system prompts for serial numbers when using the RF system. ClosedMore:

Options

  • Yes - The system prompts for serial numbers based on the Closedfollowing conditions:

    • If the order is a sales order and the user enters a product with a serial number tracking type of I (Inbound & Outbound), O (Outbound Only) or R (Returns & Outbound Only) and a location during RF picking and receiving, the system prompts you about whether they want to enter the serial number.

    • If the order is a transfer and the user is picking a product with a serial number tracking type of O (Outbound Only) or R (Returns & Outbound Only), the system only prompts for a serial number if the Prompt For Serial Numbers On Outbound Transferscontrol maintenance record is set to Yes. For products with a serial number tracking type of I (Inbound & Outbound), the system prompts for a serial number regardless of the setting in the Prompt For Serial Numbers On Outbound Transferscontrol maintenance record.

    • For products being received that have a serial number tracking type of I (Inbound & Outbound) or R (Returns & Outbound Only), the system prompts you to enter those serial numbers on the Receive Verify screen. If you do not enter them on that screen, the system prompts for them again on the Receive Put Away screen.

  • No - The system does not prompt for a serial number when picking a serialized product using the RF system.
