Before you can use shipping manifests with RF manifest picking, you must perform the following setup. If you do not define these settings, all manifests and individual orders are queued for RF picking and the system is unable to order the picks based on the shipping manifest delivery schedule.
Set up the system to hold picks from RF so that users do not pick orders or manifests until they are ready for shipment preparation. Perform the following two setup tasks:
Set up branches and their ship vias to hold manifests from RF manifest picking until they are manually released.
Set up the
Note: For warehouses not using Fleet Maintenance, held orders display individually in the Warehouse In Process Status Queue with the status Held. Once these orders are manually added to a shipping manifest, the individual order is replaced in the queue by the manifest. The system assigns the manifest a Held status until it is manually release from the Shipping Manifest Queue.
Important: If the system is holding a manifest from RF picking, but then you add an order with a ship via not set up to hold picks from RF, the system still places the order's picks on hold to avoid early release of picks to RF. In addition, if you try to set an order or manifest on hold with picks already selected or performed, the system disallows you from putting the order or manifest on hold. If picks have not been selected but they display on the Pick Selection screen and you place the picks' order or manifest on hold, the system disallows users from selecting the picks. |
