Performing Multiple-Operator Picking in RF

When you have an order that requires more than one operator, adjust the RF picking system so that multiple operators can work together on the order.

By working under one picker ID, multiple operators can pick a single order. In RF picking, you can change your picker ID to that of the first picker who selected the order to pick. The system recognizes when multiple operators are active and records each pick under the correct user ID. It instructs the final operator to continue with staging and closing the order after the last item is picked.

To perform multiple-operator picking:

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

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

  1. In the Br field, edit the branch for which you are picking, if necessary.

The system displays "No Picks Queued" on the screen if you have not already been Closedassigned or selected an order to pick.

Note: Picks can be assigned from the Warehouse In Process Status Queue, or they can be automatically selected for you based on settings in the RF Automatically Select Next Order To Pick control maintenance record.

  1. In the PID field, change your picker ID to the same picker ID as the first RF user who selected the order, and press Enter.

Note: If you are the first user to select the order, leave your picker ID displayed and select the order.

The screen displays the next item on the order to pick. If that item is in-process of being picked and you try to pick it, the system displays "Already Picked. Do NOT Pick. Press <Enter>." Press Enter at this warning.

  1. Use the Picks hot key to display the Item Pick Select screen, which displays only those items left to be picked.

Note: You can also use the UpArrow and Down Arrow keys to scroll through items on the Pick In Process screen.

  1. Select an item to pick from the remaining items.

The system arranges the rest of the items in sequence with the item number that you selected as a start point. For example, if you select item 50 to pick, the system makes item 51 the next item that you will pick.

Note: The system ensures that it displays each item number only to the first operator who selects it.

  1. Continue the picking process.
