Handling Hazardous Items in Wireless Picking

In Product Maintenance, you can mark hazardous substances and assign a product a level of hazard and a description as to why it is hazardous. You can also add comments defining how the product should be handled, along with any other necessary precautionary statements.

Once products are flagged as hazardous in Product Maintenance, the Wireless Warehouse Management system is alerted. The Pick In Process screen then alerts pickers to the hazard. As a picker, you can view the comments added in Product Maintenance from your gun as well as from the printed tickets, which are forced to print when hazardous materials are part of the order.

Set the Wireless Display Hazard Description And Print Pick Ticketcontrol maintenance record to Y to enable this feature in the Wireless system.

To notify pickers that a product is hazardous:

  1. From the Maintenance menu, select Product to display the Product Maintenance window.

  2. In Product Maintenance, designate all hazardous products.

  3. Save the settings and exit the window.

  4. From the System > System Files menu, select Control Maintenance to display the Control Maintenance screen.

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.

  1. Set the Wireless Display Hazard Description And Print Pick Ticketcontrol maintenance record to Y.

When a sales order is entered for a hazardous product and the picker attempts to pick the product, the Wireless system queues the picker that the product is hazardous by:

  1. Press Esc to save the settings and exit the screen.

To view a warning for a hazardous product from the Pick In Process screen:

  1. From the Warehouse Management > Wireless Applications > Wireless Main Menu, select Picking to display the Pick In Process screen.

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
