Picking Orders Using a Wireless Device

Once you have picks assigned, you can access them through your device and begin picking them.

Picking with an Android Device

To perform a pick:

  1. When there is a number in the Picking tile on the dashboard, select the tile to start the picking process. The system displays the Picking card.

Note: The number on the Picking tile tells you how many picks are assigned to you.

  1. With the system displaying the first pick in your list, scan the item description, UPC code, or product number to confirm you are picking the correct item; the system accepts any of these.

The top number shows you the pick number out of the total of picks for the order. The "OrdPicks" field on the window shows the number of remaining product picks assigned to you that you need to complete. The number decreases with each pick completed to allow you to keep track of the remaining picks for the order.

Note: You can also manually enter one of these three codes instead of scanning, but if you enter the product number, you must start with a period. Hit Next.

 

 

  1. Enter the quantity you are picking from this location. The system defaults to the full pick quantity, but you can over or under pick (see below for details). Select Next.
  2. After entering the pick quantity, confirm the location the material is coming from. Select Next.
  3. Scan or enter the tote. Select Next.

  4. The system brings up the next pick in your list.

To pick less than the order quantity:

  1. Perform the pick as described above, but when you enter the pick quantity, adjust it down to the amount you're actually picking.

  2. The system asks for a reason for the underpick. You have two choices:

  1. Hit Next, and return to the standard picking procedure.

To pick more than the order quantity:

  1. Perform the pick as described above, but when you enter the pick quantity, adjust it up to the amount you're actually picking.

  2. Hit Next, and return to the standard picking procedure.

Picking with a RF Device

To perform a pick:

  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 assigned or selected an order to pick.

  1. Use the Slct hot key to choose an order to pick on the Pick Select screen.

  2. In the Pick Group field, enter one of the following if the correct pick group is not displayed:

Note: If you are selecting cuttable products, use the Scan Prd hot key to select all like products that need to be cut together.

The system enters your pick group, as defined in User Maintenance, as the default, and the following data:

The orders queued to pick display in the following way:

  • Number of picks in pick group (2), pick group (J), order ID (S1353029; manifest IDs are preceded by an M, such as M0001234), ship via (OT).

Note: If an asterisk (*) appears as a pick group after the number of picks, then the pick is a complete order combined from multiple zones.

If the Auto Display Comments Attached To Line Items In RF Picking control maintenance record is set to Yes, then line item comments display after the scanning a product. If line item comments do not automatically display, users can use the hot key to display attached comments, if any.

Use the Auto Display Shipping Instructions In RF Picking and Auto Display Shipping Instructions In RF Staging control maintenance records to set shipping instructions to display. Users can access the shipping instructions with the Alt-I hot key which highlights when instructions are attached.

  1. If any items require Mill Test Report heat numbers, the RF Heat Number Entry screen displays. Enter the heat numbers and continue.

  2. Place the cursor next to each order or the manifest you want to pick and press Enter. An asterisk (*) appears next to each line item you select to pick.

Note: Press Enter again to de-select the order or manifest. If you de-select an order after picking part of it, you still will  need to stage or close the tote.

  1. Press Esc to return to the Pick In Process screen.
