In an RF Warehouse Management system, use shipping manifests to define the order in which shipments are picked and staged. You can build manifests in two ways:
Fleet Maintenance – The system automatically pre-builds manifests by sending orders that are assigned ship vias enabled in fleet routing to the Shipping Manifest Queue. It then releases manifest orders for picking in a reverse delivery sequence.
Routing tickets – If you do not use Fleet Maintenance, you can set routing tickets to print for all of your branch's ship vias that you want to include in manifest picking. Each time a sales or transfer order is added to a defined ship via and released, the routing ticket for the order will print. Use these routing tickets to manually build a manifest and to direct the sequence in which each order is picked.
Note: You do not have to print routing tickets to manually build a manifest. You can also find the orders to add to the manifest in the Warehouse In Process Status Queue, and then manually build the manifest using the correct order numbers.
To use shipping manifests with RF manifest picking, you must perform the following tasks:
Set up shipping manifests to work with the RF system.
Build manifests.
Release manifests to RF manifest picking.
